What this gate checks

The receipt total must be at least $5 USD to prevent streak/submission gaming with trivial purchases.

Under the hood: OCR-extracted total amount converted to USD via the receipt currency. Must be $5.00 or greater.

Common failure reasons

  • Receipt total under $5
  • OCR misread the total — small font, smudged ink
  • Foreign currency conversion put the total below $5

How to pass this gate

Submit a real gas fill-up of $5 or more. The threshold is intentionally low so motorcycles and small fills still qualify.
