Frequently asked questions
How does BulkBack find potential price adjustments?
You scan your Costco receipts. When an item you bought appears on sale at the same warehouse, BulkBack shows it as a potential price adjustment with the possible refund and how many days are left to claim.
How do I claim a price adjustment?
Bring your receipt (or show it in the app) to the Customer Service desk at the same warehouse where you bought the item, within 30 days of purchase. The item must be on sale and in stock. Costco decides each claim, so the refund is not guaranteed.
Why doesn't BulkBack show an alert for something I bought?
Common reasons: the item is not on sale yet, the sale is at a different warehouse than where you bought it, the 30-day window has passed, or the item is not eligible (for example gold bars, gold coins and bullion). Sale information comes from Costco's savings books and from other members who choose to share, so it can be incomplete.
What does BulkBack Plus include?
Plus unlocks automatic matching of your purchases to sale items and price-adjustment alerts. Receipt scanning, your receipt history, purchase insights, the shopping list and the searchable sale book are free.
How do I manage or cancel my subscription?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not by us. On your iPhone open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose BulkBack Plus. You can cancel there at any time; your access continues until the end of the paid period.
How do I restore my purchase on a new phone?
Open BulkBack, go to the subscription screen (or Settings) and tap Restore Purchases. Sign in with the same Apple Account you used to subscribe.
Can I get a refund for my subscription?
Apple handles refunds for App Store purchases. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com and choose your purchase. We can't issue App Store refunds directly.
Where is my receipt data stored?
On your iPhone. If iCloud backup is on, your data is also saved in your own iCloud account so it can come back after a reinstall or a new phone. We can't see it. See the Privacy Policy.
What happens if I share prices with other members?
Sharing is optional. If you turn it on, the price, item and warehouse for a purchase or a sale item you add can be used to help other members who also share. No name, email or account is attached. You can turn sharing off at any time in Settings.
How do I report a wrong or inappropriate shared sale item?
Use the Report option on the item in the app, or email support@bulkback.com with the item and warehouse. We review reports and remove content that is wrong or inappropriate.
How do I delete my data?
Your receipts live on your phone, so deleting the app removes the local copy, and you can delete the iCloud backup in iPhone Settings. To ask us to remove information you shared with other members, email privacy@bulkback.com.
