In short: subscribe to Unlimited Annual. If PriceBack finds no price drop on your receipts during that year, we add another year of Unlimited to your account at no charge. You scan, we watch — and either you get a price drop to claim, or you get a year of Unlimited. One guarantee year per account.
The four conditions
- You’re on Unlimited Annual for the whole year. A monthly plan, a switch to monthly, or a subscription that ends early does not qualify.
- You scan at least 15 receipts during the year. Each receipt counts once — scanning the same receipt twice counts once, and deleted receipts don’t count.
- PriceBack finds no price drop on your receipts during the year — whether or not your notifications are on, and even if you later delete the receipt.
- You keep the plan: no refund of the year, and auto-renew stays on until we confirm your guarantee.
About auto-renew — please read
Your subscription is billed by the App Store or Google Play and renews on its own. The guarantee year comes from PriceBack, not from the store — so the store does not know about it and will keep renewing unless you stop it.
- We check your year 14 days before your renewal date and notify you in the app (and by push notification if you allow it) as soon as you qualify.
- Then turn off auto-renew in your store account — at least 24 hours before the renewal date, as both stores require. The app has a one-tap link to the right screen.
- If the store charges you anyway, you lose nothing: your guarantee year simply starts when that paid year ends.
Questions
What counts as a price drop?
A verified lower price for an item on one of your receipts, found within the store’s price-adjustment window — the same standard that triggers PriceBack’s price-drop alerts. It counts whether or not you received the notification.
If PriceBack finds a drop, do I have to claim it?
No — but you should: that’s money back from the store. Either way, a price drop means the guarantee did its job, and the year is not added.
I already have an annual subscription. Am I covered?
Your next annual year is: every paid annual year that starts on or after September 25, 2026 is covered, until your account earns its guarantee year once.
What happens at the end of my guarantee year?
Your account returns to the free plan. We remind you 14 days before; subscribe again any time to keep Unlimited.
§Official terms
These terms govern the PriceBack Price-Drop Guarantee (the “Guarantee”) offered by PriceBack Canada (“we”, “us”). They form part of our Terms of Service. Effective September 25, 2026.
- The offer. If you hold a PriceBack Unlimited subscription on the annual plan and a qualifying year meets every condition in section 3, we add one year of PriceBack Unlimited to your PriceBack account at no charge (the “Guarantee Year”).
- Qualifying year. A paid annual subscription period billed by the App Store or Google Play that starts on or after September 25, 2026. Trial, introductory and promotional periods, test purchases and monthly plans do not qualify.
- Conditions. All of the following: (a) the annual subscription remains in force for the qualifying year — you do not switch to another plan and it does not end early; (b) you scan at least 15 distinct receipts with PriceBack during the qualifying year — a receipt with the same store, date and total counts once, and a deleted receipt does not count; (c) PriceBack finds no price drop on any of your receipts during the qualifying year, whether or not you received the notification and even if the receipt is later deleted; (d) the qualifying year is not refunded; and (e) auto-renew is on when we check (section 5) and your account is in good standing.
- Price drop. A verified lower price for an item on one of your receipts, found within the retailer’s price-adjustment window, that meets the standard PriceBack uses to send its price-drop alerts at the time.
- When we check. We check the qualifying year starting 14 days before its renewal date. A price drop, a refund, a plan switch or an early end of the subscription ends the qualifying year when it happens. If only the receipt or auto-renew condition is not yet met, we check again daily until the renewal date; the year is judged final on that date.
- The Guarantee Year. If you qualify, we notify you in the app. The Guarantee Year is provided by PriceBack; it is not an App Store or Google Play purchase and has no auto-renewal. It starts when your paid annual subscription ends and lasts one year, during which you have PriceBack Unlimited at no charge. At its end, your account returns to the free plan unless you subscribe again.
- Auto-renewal and store charges. Your store subscription renews automatically unless you turn auto-renew off at least 24 hours before the renewal date. To avoid being charged for the following year, turn auto-renew off after we notify you that you qualified. If the store charges you anyway, your Guarantee Year is not lost: it starts when that paid year ends. We do not refund store charges; refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies.
- Limits. One Guarantee Year per PriceBack account. Every paid annual year is covered until your account earns its Guarantee Year once. The Guarantee Year cannot be transferred to another account or exchanged for cash.
- Changes. We may end or change the Guarantee for years that start after the change. A change never applies to a qualifying year that has already started, or to a Guarantee Year already earned.
- Fair use. We may refuse the Guarantee for an account used to get around these terms, as permitted by law. Nothing in these terms limits the rights you have under applicable consumer-protection law, including the Quebec Consumer Protection Act.
