    I stuck with shop and scan in the end, and sent the fact finders stuff back.

    Seems a lot easier, and get regular vouchers that i do want/need.

    I finally got an invite through today for shop and scan, so I will probably stop using Fact Finders now!

    I've just been invited to this, I need to connect via USB though, as I'm on a laptop, will they send this automatically, or do I need to email and ask?

    I have registered for this loads of times, but not got anywhere. If there is anyone out there who would not mind giving me an invite, I would be very grateful indeed.
    Thanks in advance

    You cant be invited by a member im afraid, you have to wait for shop and scan to invite you. (tiscalimac)

    Tell them you have a laptop mrsbluebear and theyll send you the correct connections etc.

    the incentive rewards are not that good - becuase irrespective of the amount of stuff you scan you still only get 75 points a week

    So scan accordingly, as Fact Finders don't ask you to send receipts in how do they know how much shopping you actually did that week? ;)

    It a shame you have to scan current stuff, cos if you could scan past items, and we scanned our boots stash, we could make £100 no prob :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    My scanner is being sent out to me, I hope they send a USB connection with mine, can't be bothered with moving my computer desk about all the time for a serial port!

    I got a call from Factfinders yesterday asking for a convenient time to deliver my scanner.

    I will give it a go but if the rewards are as bad as people say it may be short lived!
