Shop & Scan

is anyone feeding this back to the company directly? maybe if enough complain they might do something.

I'd contacted them about this last year but nothing was done so I asked to be removed as it was now too much trouble trying to provide them the information they required.

I just think it's so unfair that not everyone is having to use the app. The people that use the 'old' way of texting barcodes through are getting a very reasonable amount of points each week......unlike us that use the app! And then on top of that it's so fiddly and the scanner doesn't always work.

They told me they no longer accept transmission via text?

Anyone else had an invitation to a new panel - Screenwise Select (the email states that it is by invitation only to existing Shop & Scan panellists ) ?

"[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Kantar is conducting a research project in partnership with Google to help them better serve their users, partners and customers by learning more about people's media use, on the web and elsewhere.

As a member of Screenwise Select Panel you would receive a small meter and handset to use with each TV set, and a web meter that links with your existing internet connection. When someone is watching TV, the people in the room would simply need to press a button on the handset to indicate their presence. Similarly, on shared devices that access the internet, the person using it would be required to identify themselves by selecting their symbol.

Rewards

Once the meters are installed in your home we will credit your account with 25,000 points. Each month we will reward you with a further 5,500 points for your TV and web data. In addition to this you will be rewarded an annual bonus of 30,000 points for your continued participation. This is all on top of the rewards you receive for participation in ShopandScan, of which you will need to remain an active member."

Reward is good but sounds a bit too intrusive for my liking - what does everyone else think ?

I have been a member of Screenwise Select for over 2yrs now. The way I look at it is it's a good amount of points for very little work. You don't even know it's there. Unless you forget to sign in. Then you get phone calls or emails to remind you.
They only monitor what you watch on tv or what sort of web sites you go on. And with the website monitor you get an option to sign in as a guest. Then data isn't collected.

Same here, but I bet they are disappointed I record most programmes, mainly on BBC, never watch daytime TV , reality shows, quizzes etc, and whiz through all adverts

When you plug it into your computer what colour is the light? If it's red leave it to charge.
