Warranties, manuals and big receipts

Keep them as long as you own the item.

3 min read

Receipts for bigger purchases help with returns, warranty claims, insurance claims and, for home improvements, taxes when you sell.

How to keep them

  • Snap a photo of the receipt right away; paper receipts fade
  • Keep the receipt and warranty together, or scanned together
  • Many manuals are online, so you can recycle the paper copy
  • Note the purchase date and card used, in case of card purchase protections
