How it works

Costco offers a price adjustment when an item you bought goes on promotion within 30 days. Many members miss it, because nobody watches the prices after the shop. CartGo does the watching.

  1. Confirm receipt screen with test data: the purchase date, the Westgate warehouse and 5 items read from the receipt, with Reject and Save buttons.

    Snap your receipt

    After you shop, take a photo of your receipt. CartGo reads the items. You check them and save.

  2. Receipt screen with test data: watched until 23 November, 27 days left. One item may qualify, with a possible adjustment of NZ$8.00.

    CartGo watches it for 30 days

    If an item goes on promotion, CartGo sends you an alert with the possible adjustment and the claim-by date.

  3. Counter card with test data: item number 47034, espresso beans, purchased 24 October 2026 at Westgate, paid NZ$39.99, now NZ$31.99, possible adjustment NZ$8.00.

    Show the counter card

    At the Costco returns counter, show the item number, the purchase date and the possible adjustment. The card works offline too.

Price adjustments are subject to Costco's current policy. Always check with Costco at the returns counter. CartGo does not pay refunds.

How credits work

Spot a deal at the warehouse that is not in CartGo yet. Be the first member to photograph its price tag, and you earn 1 credit. One credit watches one more receipt.

Deals from the Costco pamphlet do not earn credits, and the photo must show the deal's end date. You can hold up to 10 credits, and they do not expire. Pro members do not need credits, so they do not earn them. The price-tag camera works at Costco warehouses in New Zealand and Australia.

Membership card with test data: Free, 2 free watches each month, watched this month 1 of 2, credits 3 of 10, and a Go Pro button.

Your receipts stay private

  • What other members see

    Prices from your receipts and price-tag photos go into the shared price list without your name. On your posts, members see your nickname and your membership level (Free or Pro). On the deals that you spot, they see your nickname, unless you turn it off in Account → Community. Next to your comment on a product, they can see "Verified buyer" when your saved receipts show that you bought it.

  • Receipt photos are kept up to 30 days

    From 10 November 2026, we keep the photos of each receipt for up to 30 days after the upload, to check and improve how CartGo reads receipts. Only our team, Google Gemini and OpenAI process them. A receipt that you report to us: we keep its photos while we check it. When you delete your account, we delete them at once.

  • Your GPS position stays on your phone

    With a scan, only the warehouse or the country is sent. The receipt reminder after a Costco visit is set by your phone, and it sends us nothing about the reminder.

  • No sale of your data

    We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Questions

What is CartGo?

CartGo is an independent app for Costco members in New Zealand and Australia. It watches your receipts for 30 days. When an item you bought goes on promotion, it tells you what you may be able to claim at the returns counter.

Is there a free trial?

No. New members start on Free, and every feature is free. CartGo watches 2 of your receipts each month, and credits watch more. Pro ($2.99 NZD/AUD a month) watches every receipt.

A trial that started before CartGo 2.0.0 keeps Pro until its end date.

What is a watched receipt?

CartGo saves every receipt that you add. A watched receipt also gets the 30-day price watch and alerts. Each month, your 2 free watches are used first, then your credits. Pro watches every receipt.

A saved receipt that is not watched is still checked. If it may qualify for a price adjustment, CartGo tells you. Then you can watch it with a credit, or go Pro.

Which items qualify?

An item qualifies only while it is on promotion, within 30 days of your purchase. A .97 markdown or a price override does not qualify.

Price adjustments are subject to Costco's current policy. Always check with Costco at the returns counter.

Where do I claim?

At the returns counter of a Costco warehouse. Show the counter card in CartGo. Bring your Costco membership card. Your purchases are linked to your membership. Costco makes the adjustment, usually back to your original payment method. CartGo does not pay refunds.

Is CartGo affiliated with Costco?

No. CartGo is not affiliated with or endorsed by Costco Wholesale Corporation. Costco is a registered trademark of its owner. CartGo is made by Arisdy Limited, a New Zealand company.

What data does CartGo collect?

Your email address from Google or Apple sign-in (with Google sign-in, also the name and the profile-photo link of your Google account, which CartGo does not show or use). The photos of your receipts and price tags, and what CartGo reads from them: the date, the warehouse, the product codes, names and prices, and the total. CartGo does not read your membership number or your card number.

Your GPS position stays on your phone. With each price-tag photo, the warehouse is sent; with each receipt, the country of the nearest warehouse. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

The privacy policy has the full details.

How do I delete my account?

In CartGo 2.0.0 and later: tap Account at the bottom of the screen. Scroll to the bottom and tap "Delete account" (below "Sign out"). Or email support@cartgo.app.

Pro members: deleting your account does not cancel Pro. Cancel it first in the App Store or Google Play.

The account deletion page lists what is deleted and what stays.

Save your next receipt.

CartGo watches it for 30 days. Free on the App Store and Google Play.
