    I just got an email inviting me. Easy to register and install what they asked. My only gripe is you have to use IE, which in my opinion sucks lol, but I guess I'll cope! Hope my clicker comes soon! :D

    It only takes a couple of minutes & you only need to be online to transmit the barcodes & upload the receipts, so no hardship.
    My clicker arrived within a couple of days.

    I joined last week.
    You don't need a document scanner for the receipts if you have a camera that can photograph them so they are readable. I am using the camera on my phone.
    seems very easy so far.

    If anyone would be so kind as to send me an invite it would be greatly appreciated!
  • Been using this for a while and it's deff worth doing IMO. I simply scan my shopping while unpacking so essentially it takes no extra time.
    For the receipt, I bring it into work unless i did my shop on fri/sat.

    And yes, internet explorer is terrible so it's a shame it doesn't run properly in Firefox. But, not a major issue. Had quite a lot of £10 vouchers so far.

    Including these scanning things, and surveys i've made approx £1200 in amazon vouchers per year for the last 2 years. All done on my work lunch breaks too. sweet.
  • if anyone has an invite, please let me know.

  • I have been doing it for a good few years now but I only do my weekly shopping (as someone else has said, when I am unpacking it.). Although I get the reminders I don't do the till receipts - too much hassle - it takes all my time remembering to scan and upload the barcodes. Especially as it doesn't run on Google Chrome. But it is easy money. I have well over £200 in Argos vouchers since I started.

  • I was on the shop and scan panel until recently when they asked me to return my scanner as I wasn't uploading frequently enough. The reason being my PC broke so I was unable to download the scanner as the only other computer we have in the house is an apple mac, and shop and scan is not compatible with macs. It was a shame as the rewards were pretty good. Sniff sniff :(
