Perhaps this is an intance where a central service could aggregate e-receipts for customers. I could see this being linked to loyalty programs from major grocers, gas stations, etc.

You could then manage your preferences with the central service who could email you receipts or just store them for you indefinitely.

I'd find this useful if I'm travelling on business. Right now I have to keep a week of receipts safe somewhere and bring them back - coffee, restaurants, taxis etc. Then I go back and type the details into the corporate expense system, and put the paper receipts into an envelope.

I'd be happier if somebody looked after the receipts for me (in the cloud?) and saved me the effort of typing them in when I got back.
