Step 3: Categorize & Report

The next time you log into your Expensify account on the Web, you'll be able to browse to your uploaded receipts. Any receipts you've uploaded within the last 10-15 minutes will say "Scanning" across the top, as the service takes about that long to complete each scan. Once the scanning's done, you can categorize the purchase or add it to an expense report.

Step 4: Buy or Earn Credits

This new scanning feature isn't exactly free. Each scan costs you 20 Expensify credits. The service starts you off with some credits for free, and you can earn more by spamming your friends. For each friend you refer, you get 100 credits. If luring your friends to join your online expense-reporting cult doesn't sound like the sort of thing you want to do, you can buy credits at a rate of a penny a credit. So basically, if you're not using free or earned credits, you're looking at 20 cents per scan. Whether that's a bargain for you depends on how many receipts you've got, how much your time is worth, or whether you have an intern you can sucker into doing the task for you.
