Built to be clear — and careful with your data

No fake social proof. Just how it works, what we collect, and what you don’t need.

How it works

Buy Basic or Pro via Stripe, log purchases in the tracker, and we email reminders before deadlines. Guides and the free checkers stay free.

Privacy-minded

We only store what you submit for reminders — email and the purchase details you enter. No ads network, no selling your list. See our privacy page for details.

No account needed for guides

Read every store guide and use the free checkers without an account. The tracker unlocks after Basic ($9) or Pro checkout.

Why return windows are easy to miss

Every store runs a different clock. Holiday extensions and category exceptions make it worse — and receipts disappear the moment you need them.

Different clocks

Amazon’s usual window is ~30 days from delivery. Walmart and Target often give 90. Best Buy is often 15. Costco is open-ended for most goods — but electronics have 90 days.

Category traps

Phones, Apple gear, major appliances, and Marketplace items frequently have shorter windows or restocking fees. Holiday extensions change the math again.

Receipts vanish

Email confirmations get buried. Paper receipts fade. When you finally decide to return something, the deadline may already have passed.

Built for people who buy stuff and forget about it

Trustworthy guides plus a lightweight tracker — so you keep your options open without another monthly bill.

Know the real window

Free, plain-English summaries of official policies for 40+ U.S. retailers — with sources and last-checked dates.

Get reminded in time

Log a purchase once. Basic emails you before return deadlines; Pro also covers warranty end dates.

Honest pricing

Basic is $9 one-time for returns. Pro is a subscription ($3.99/mo or $29/yr) because warranty tools and photos have ongoing cost. Cancel Pro anytime — your data stays.

How the tracker works

Three steps. Under a minute. Then we watch the calendar for you.

Choose Basic or Pro

Basic ($9 once) covers return reminders. Pro ($3.99/mo or $29/yr) adds warranties, photos, CSV, and claim letters. Stripe checkout unlocks /app.

Log purchases

Add the item, store, purchase date, and return window (or warranty end). Takes seconds per purchase.

Get emailed

Basic: return reminders ~7 days and 1 day before. Pro: also warranty reminders ~30 days and 7 days before — so you can return, keep, or claim on time.

Free return deadline calculator

Pick a store, purchase/receipt date, and category for a simplified estimate. Always confirm on your order page and the retailer’s official policy.

FAQ

Straight answers before you buy.

Is Basic really $9 one-time?

Yes. Basic is a single Stripe payment for return deadline tracking and return reminders. There is no Basic subscription. Pro is a separate subscription ($3.99/mo or $29/yr) — there is no lifetime Pro.

What’s the difference between Basic and Pro?

Basic covers return windows and return reminders. Pro adds manufacturer warranty and extended-plan tracking, warranty reminders, unlimited items, receipt photos, CSV export, and claim-letter templates. Free tools (guides + checkers) stay free.

How do reminders work?

You log each purchase with a return window (Basic or Pro) and, on Pro, manufacturer warranty length plus optional extended-plan end date and serial. We email ~7 days and 1 day before return deadlines. Pro also emails ~30 days and 7 days before warranties end. Reminders are best-effort — always confirm with the store or brand.

Do I need an account?

After checkout, the thanks page saves an access token in your browser. Use the same browser to open /app, or paste your token if you switch devices.

Are you affiliated with Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc.?

No. ReceiptClock is independent. Guides summarize public policy pages and always link the official source. Policies change — trust the store if anything conflicts.

Can I just use the free tools?

Absolutely. The guides, checkers, calculator, and optional holiday email list are free. Buy Basic or Pro only if you want ongoing reminders on your own purchases.
