Amazon Will Pay Consumers Who Share Their Shopping Habits

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) already collects massive amounts of data on how people shop on its website, but what consumers are buying away from the site remains opaque to the e-commerce giant.

To gain more insight into what shoppers are purchasing elsewhere, Amazon is offering to pay consumers to upload to its data-crunching computers the receipts for their purchases at supermarkets, drugstores, restaurants, and department stores. They can earn additional rewards for completing surveys, too.
