Another good point a receipt shows your points so can be checked! So many reasons to get a receipt!

The 'New' Nectar app from Sainsbury's is great; once you've paid for your shopping, within minutes, you get a notification on your phone saying they've been added. Plus, the balance updates automatically within the app showing the new balance.

But I always take a receipt; I work in Retail and when we have staff searches I need proof I've paid for anything I've got on me.

Which ones?

I have 3 credit cards and a debit card I use for purchases, none of them instantly show EVERY transaction.

I always ask for receipts anyway as like a previous poster I log all my expenditure on a spreadsheet.

Mine does. Shows up under pending transactions

Mine mostly show up under pending transactions too, but not all appear instantly. Some can take a few hours, and occasionally some can take a day or two. I suspect the delay may be down to the retailer (Boots is often very slow) as much as the card provider.

If someone else was using the card, they would get the receipt anyway.

I can't see how having a receipt stops fraud, except for the people who meticoulsly check every transaction, but I have a good idea of where I have been and notice transactions that aren't purchased by me.

I always get a receipt - for example in Asda if the price is wrong you get your money back plus £2 compensation - I have saved up about £40 over the last few years (on their Christmas card) from picking up £2 compensations.


Also, when going to WHSmith to buy the papers I get a receipt, so when I go to another shop after I can prove I bought the papers at WHSmith and not trying to steal them from them

That's a bit extreme. And you don't have to prove your innocence to anyone.
