After I signed up with shop and scan, TNS (who run shop and scan) invited my hubby to take part in their Food on the Go survey. He sends them a text everytime he buys food or drinks when out and they pay him £1 per text he sends - we've had £20 cash from them so far, on top of the £30 I've accumulated in shop and scan rewards since Dec last year.

They can mail me all they want - if I can make some extra cash from it!!:T

You're the only other person on here that I've seen is also a member of food on the go, I've been doing it for over 18 months now and its the best rewards I've ever had!!! They NEVER do invites though like with shopandscan.

One thing, they send you cash for food on the go? How cheeky I used to but the last 6 months get vouchers as they linked it to my shopandscan account and gave me no choice not to.

I joined them a few weeks ago and have never had any phone calls or junk mail. The scanning is really easy and better than some other surveys i've done. The rewards are fair as well. I@ve never heard of the food on the go, how do you join this?

It's by invite only and no referral's (so unfortunately no way of joining unless you get an invite in the post like I did), unlike shopandscan its £10 per week (maximum)

The only extra calls you would get as a result of this are the occasional invite for you or another household member to join a different panel - I work for TNS and we don't use the shopandscan panel for any other purposes. (If you do get any junk, complain to us!)

How do I get an invite? Sounds fun to me!

If you are concerned about getting junk mail/unwanted phone calls you could always contact them and ask for all direct marketing material/phone calls to be stopped. You could even do this when signing up.

This deals with the right to require a data controller not to use your personal data to market you with products or ideas.

This right is contained in section 11 of the Data Protection Act 1998.

Section 11 applies only in respect of the processing of information about you for the purposes of direct marketing.

I didn't get an invite, went to the sign up page and just entered a few numbers(randomly), it worked first time and the scanner was here in a couple of days.

I'm not having a go but this is a bit off really. I was sent referral codes and by the time I gave them to family members people had already used them by guessing numbers. Just so people know if you do this you are in effect stealing other people's codes. Why not just wait and hope someone gives you a code or they invite you.
