Is it legit or a scam? I think I did register to for Tesco surveys but not 100% sure as it was a while ago.

I received the same email a few weeks ago but decided not to join as I already have too many survey sites that's keeping me busy. eDigital Research is a legit company as I used to do some online mystery shopping for them and paid promptly so I think this email is also legitimate.

I'm a member of the Tesco shopper thoughts survey panel and it is legit. I only get a few surveys a year but usually get 150 tesco clubcard points for completing each one.

Thought about joining this-but couldn't find the actual value of points in the FAQs. If you get 100-150 points for a survey, just what is that worth?
Trying to work out if it has any value. As they don't say, I'm guessing that it will take about a year to make £10!

Well if they're Tesco clubcard points, ain't they worth what clubcard points are worth?

No well, that's the thing, It's not necessarily going to be Clubcard points. The FAQs say:
"Why are there two different incentive schemes?
Those who are registered as Clubcard customers will be given a choice of signing up to receive Clubcard Points or Shopper Thoughts Points for taking part in surveys. Those who are not as identified as Clubcard customers when registering on the Shopper Thoughts panel will be allocated to the Shopper Thoughts Points scheme."

So you can choose to either have Clubcard points or Shopper Thoughts Points. However it would be good to know which is the better deal and they aren't telling us. That's my point.

but then you can exchange your shopper thought points for clubcard points, or use them for high street vouchers......
