Once your history is merged, you should see your history in our new account (if on a mobile device you can scroll left to right to see all data).

Recent View

When TAGGing a receipt, you must be logged in to see the recent organizations you support. You can also select recent for businesses (vs. alphabetical) to choose the businesses you frequent the most. 

Nearby View

Allowing location services will enable you to view participating businesses or who to support using the “nearby” search option (which displays them in order nearest to you).

WHY CAN I NOT GET THE NEARBY SEARCH OPTION TO WORK?

If you are on an iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services (make sure it is enabled). Then scroll down to Safari or Chrome (whichever browser you use) and choose either While “Using the App” or “Ask Next Time Or When I Share.”

If you are on an android device: Open the Chrome app. To the right of the address bar, tap More > Settings. Tap Site Settings, Location. Turn Location On or Off.

If you are on a Mac/PC computer: Go to Start > Settings > Privacy & Security > Location. If you’re an administrator on the device, you can use the Location services setting to control whether the location service can be used on this device. If you’re not an admin on this device, you will not see this setting.

WHY DOES TAGG.TODAY ASK ME TO ALLOW LOCATION SERVICES?

Allowing location services will enable you to view participating businesses or who to support using the “nearby” search option (which displays them in order nearest to you). If you do not wish to use this functionality, simply choose an alternative search option (alphabetical, popular or recent).

WHY IS THE BUSINESS OR WHO TO SUPPORT NOT APPEARING WHEN I SEARCH ON TAGG.today?

When you search for Businesses or Who to Support on TAGG.today, you have the option to view search results in nearby, alphabetical, popular or recent order. If you have no past activity yet OR are not logged in, nothing will appear if searching “recent”. Be sure you are using one of the other search methods and if using nearby, you must have location services enabled.

CAN I TAGG MY PURCHASES WITHOUT A SMARTPHONE?

Yes, you can submit your receipts using a desktop computer, laptop, iPad or tablet, in addition to any smartphone. Simply visit TAGG.today using any browser (ex. Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer)

HOW DO I VIEW MY TAGG ACTIVITY AND SEE HOW MUCH HAS BEEN RAISED?

To view your TAGG activity, go to the “My TAGGs” page at TAGG.today. Here you will see your $ Raised Total, Points Balance, and your TAGG History including the status of each TAGG (pending, denied, or approved). Each column is sortable and if you’re on a mobile device, scroll to the right to view more data. 

CAN I EARN REWARDS FOR USING TAGG?

Yes! TAGG has a rewards program that allows you to earn points for reaching milestones ($ raised) and more. You can view your points balance anytime on the My TAGGs page at TAGG.today. Points can be redeemed for extra donations, rewards from businesses or TAGG swag. View TAGG Rewards Redemption Center here.

 

HOW DO I REDEEM MY POINTS?

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET REWARDS?

Timeframes are as follows:
1. Business rewards (gift cards, free products/services) will be emailed or mailed twice per month (the first business days after the 15th and last day of the month).
2. TAGG swag will also be mailed or delivered  twice per month (the first business days after the 15th and last day of the month).
3. Bonus donations will be applied to the account on the 1st business day of the following month so it is available to the organization you selected by the time they request their next payout.

I DON’T SEE THE SCHOOL, TEAM OR NONPROFIT I WANT TO SUPPORT ON TAGG.

If the school, team or nonprofit is not yet on TAGG, encourage them to learn more and get registered at togetheragreatergood.com. It’s free and registration takes a few minutes. 

I DON’T SEE MY CHILD/MEMBER ON THE DROP DOWN FOR THEIR CLUB/TEAM/SCHOOL.

If your child isn’t showing up under the organization you are supporting, please email hello@togetheragreatergood.com with the child’s name, organization AND team/club name, and email address.  

Uploading Receipts

Digital receipt or I didn't get a receipt.
FOR ONLINE BUSINESSES, HOW DO I SUBMIT MY RECEIPT?

You can take a photo or screenshot the order confirmation or emailed receipt you receive from the business. Since you can upload up to 3 images per receipt, please be sure to capture the entire receipt including business name, date and transaction total.

WHAT SHOULD MY RECEIPT PHOTO INCLUDE?

Please capture the entire receipt from top to bottom. You can upload up to 3 photos per receipt (so for longer or email receipts you can take a photo of the top, middle and bottom, for example. We need the business name/location, subtotal, and date. If you only have the credit card receipt (instead of the itemized receipt) that’s okay however 10% may be deducted from it to account for taxes. If you no longer have a receipt, you can submit a screenshot of a bank statement (or online banking) with the date and amount. These will be approved on a case by case basis.

I HAVE MULTIPLE RECEIPTS, CAN I SUBMIT THEM ALL AT ONCE?

No, please submit only one receipt at a time for your TAGG to be approved (regardless if they are from the same businesses or not). You can submit up to 3 images per receipt (great for capturing longer receipts and emailed receipts that are difficult to capture in one photo).

WHAT ARE REASONS TAGGS ARE DENIED?

There are several reasons why a TAGG may be denied. To view the reason, go to the “My TAGGs” page at TAGG.today. If a TAGG is denied, you will see the word denied and a little navy circle with an i in the middle. Click on that and the denial reason should appear. Here are some of the reasons and explanations: 

  • No Receipt Image: There is no image of a receipt to approve (either you uploaded an incorrect image that’s not a reciept, or there’s no image at all that came through.)
  • Receipt already TAGGed: The receipt submitted was flagged as a duplicate. If you see this denial reason and think it an error, please email hello@togetheragreatergood.com 
  • See business exclusions: Some businesses don’t allow certain types of transactions to be “TAGGed”. If you see this as the denial reason, you can view exclusions in our business directory and on the homepage of TAGG.today (after selecting a business, scroll down to view their donation amount and any exclusions they might have). 
  • Can’t read receipt: This usually means the receipt is too blurry to read, and can be resubmitted if you still have it. 
  • Can’t read amount: We can’t see the transaction total on the receipt submitted. 
  • Can’t read business: We can’t see the business/location to know if they are participating or not. 
  • Can’t read date: We can’t see the date on the receipt to know if it should be approved or not. 
  • Business location wasn’t live yet: Although the business participates in TAGG now, they were not yet on TAGG on the receipt date submitted.
  • You reached daily location limit: You have already TAGGed more than 3 receipts per business location per receipt date. (DJ’s Dugout is only one)
  • Receipt too old: The receipt is older than 30 days.
  • Cannot TAGG with other offers: The business has a restriction that says you cannot TAGG with another offer, and it’s clear from the receipt another offer was used.
  • Location’s monthly budget met: A few businesses have a monthly budget (ex. will donate up to $1,000 per month per location). Any TAGGs submitted after that budget has been reached will be denied.
  • Receipt location not on TAGG: The location on your receipt is not a participating TAGG location (this usually means that other locations of that business DO participate on TAGG, just not the one on your receipt). You can always find participating locations in our business directory.
  • Business not on TAGG: The business on the receipt you submitted does not participate in TAGG. 
  • Amount paid was $0: If your balance paid was $0, there is nothing to approve (since businesses donate a percentage of the paid amount). This may be because you had a credit or discount that made the purchase free.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO SUBMIT MY RECEIPT?

Although some exceptions are made, we ask that you submit your receipt within 30 days of the receipt date to ensure it is approved.

HOW LONG DOES A RECEIPT TAKE TO BE APPROVED?

TAGGs are usually approved within 3 business days. You have 30 days after receipt date to submit your receipt. Some exceptions are made.

 

IS THERE A LIMIT TO HOW MANY RECEIPTS I CAN TAGG PER LOCATION PER DAY?

Yes. You can submit up to 3 receipts per business location per receipt date. More than three TAGGs per RECEIPT DATE will be denied. There is one exception to this limit and that is DJ’s Dugout whose limit is 1 TAGG per RECEIPT DATE.

While we understand your desire to maximize the TAGG donations, the idea is to encourage everyone to TAGG their own receipts. By doing so, they are more likely to continue TAGGing at other locations, which should result in a larger impact.

Questions for Organizations, Teams/Clubs
or Members using TAGG to raise funds:

HOW AND WHEN ARE FUNDS RAISED DISTRIBUTED?

TAGG collects all donations from the businesses monthly and deposits them electronically into the organization (or team’s) bank account. In most cases, the school, nonprofit or place of worship will request a payout from the monthly email recap they receive. However in some cases (typically high schools and youth sports), the payout time frame is already determined by the booster club or youth sports management and therefore the next scheduled payout date will be noted on the recap instead of a request payout button.
