I've filled up punchcards for my local gas station and the cafeteria at work. My punches haven't been approved for 3 days now, so I'm unable to redeem anything, and I can't seem to scan any new receipts for those places either.
anyone else having "invalid receipt" rejections? i've had a couple in the last few days. One was for a starbucks receipt, just like all of my previous Starbucks receipts

Gas stations seem to be the best way to take advantage of this, especially if you do a couple of $20 top-ups a week instead of filling your tank.
I've got two in right now. One from about 3 weeks ago, and one from this past Monday. And yes, $20 at a time at the gas station will fill these cards quickly.
I managed to get 4 in prior to the cutoff: 9/27, 10/26, 11/9 and 11/18; still have yet to receive any of them. Not overly concerned, as I'm not out anything if they do totally flake.
Oh well, fun while it lasted. I have zero interest in restaurant vouchers.
Woah, yeah, I have no interest in restaurant vouchers. Guess it's time to delete the app. That's a pretty shitty way to sneak it in there. I got a push message to my phone that made it sound like the restaurant.com vouchers were a bonus (something like everyone who completes a card by the end of the year gets a restaurant.com voucher). It wasn't until I read it here and confirmed in their online FAQ that the vouchers are in lieu of cash rewards, not a bonus.

I was going to keep the app installed until I got payment for the cards I did complete, but a couple days ago my phone lost network connectivity, and I started getting errors from Punchcard about not being able to connect, despite the fact that I wasn't using punchcard. It even continued after I opened the app and specifically logged out. Being suspicious about what it was trying to transmit, and why, I uninstalled it. Probably won't get paid regardless.
Received same. No sign of any cash even though cards were submitted prior to the date they said they would begin the restaurant.com "voucher". Maybe their are still working on the check run they mentioned.
I've completed about 5 punchcards and haven't gotten anything yet, even the restaurant.com certificates.
There are a few restaurants near us that accept restaurant.com, so if I get certificates I'm sure we'll use them...I'm just not sure I'll keep snapping my receipts until all this is straightened out.
It's common for startups to offer better deals at the git-go and lower them later. I got in on the ground floor of some sites and did awesomely...then there was a big dip but I maintained my membership, and slowly but surely things started picking up again.

Just keep in mind that the value of a $25 restaurant.com coupon is about $2. Also, many restaurants don't accept them even if they are listed. They all come with restrictions such as "Valid Sunday-Thursday $50 minimum purchase"
Just got an email from them. Looks like it is getting worse:

That's funny. Based on "user feedback", people would rather have a chance to win something than actually get something? I notice that the link to their site for the "official rules" goes to a page that is not exactly loaded with details.
Ooh, use this to get Cash Back! No wait, use it to get discount coupons. No wait, use it to maybe get something, or not.
