    Evening all ,

    I've wanted to do this for ages but have never managed to get an invite or referal code. If anyone has one it would be very much appreciated :-)

    Have you looked on https://www.volunteer4panels.com and mentioned shop and scan?

    After waiting 4 years, finally got my invite!! :j
    Do you have to save up all you shopping to submit it together or do you do it as and when?
    Also, is it all shopping or just groceries?

    Thanks :)

    I scan my shopping each time and upload once a week on a Saturday (the cut off is midnight Sunday). If I've got the computer on though I'll sometimes upload just to make sure I've uploaded something so I get my points.

    I scan absolutely everything, there as sections in the book for department stores/B&Q etc so I scan the lot!
    HTH

    So, does the shopping stay in the scanner until you upload it?

    the barcodes remain in the scanner until you upload them.

    My partner has just got the scanner and a small book containing barcodes

    Do you scan things you buy online like Amazon, ebay etc?

    Say you did weekly shop at Mr T

    do you scan shop Mr T then all items you bought after that. Then if you go Asda later that week do same etc


    Thanks

    The booklet does tell you how to scan and what to scan.

    You need to scan the barcode of the person who did the shopping.

    Then the store you shopped at, there is a list of stores they want information from, although if you bought something from the newsagent, there is a generic barcode for that.

    then you can scan the amount your shop cost you, the barcode is in the book, and then start scanning your shopping.

    I would recommend reading the booklet, as it explains about multiple buys, etc.

    When you get an invite code are you guaranteed a place or can they still turn you down?
  • I registered my interest on Monday so I certainly wasn't expecting an invite in my inbox today!! They must be requiring more people at the moment.
