Pretty sure they have expanded it everywhere now. They did a big promo back in September of 2014. From September through February 28th, 2015 you could get double cash back if you cashed out to a Bluebird card. Bluebird cards are free and there was no fee to transfer your cash back to one, so this wasn't a bad deal. I managed to get about $60 back before the cutoff, which got doubled to $120. Since I buy mostly groceries at Wal-mart, using the money from the Bluebird card on more groceries worked out nicely for me.
It seems to work best for groceries. They track pretty much all grocery stores in the area, even smaller ones. As long as the store puts out an ad, they track it. They even match against a small independent grocery in my area that runs ads in the local paper. They also sometimes match things you wouldn't expect. Such as a deal at Kroger where Stouffers frozen dinners were cheaper with a digital coupon you had to load to your Kroger card. The coupon was limited, something like ten uses. Savings Catcher matched it as if the price after coupon was a sale price, unlimited times. I've gotten over $100 back this year, mostly from deals like that. I nearly always get money back on mom's Coke Zeros too. They're usually on sale each week somewhere.
One nice thing about the Savings Catcher is it refunds you the difference + tax. As for tracking, unless you're paying with cash they already track you. They track freaking everything. Might as well get some cash back out of the deal.

We have 4 other grocery stores in town but Walmart only price matches the one that has their prices on line.
They do not match Albertson's, Lowes (grocery store not the home improvement store) or El Rancho (Mexican grocery store). They do match HEB and the dollar stores.
But I buy very few brand names so that may make a difference too.
I would love a Kroger's here. The two of their stores I have been in were fabulous. But 300 miles is a might far to go for groceries.
