    Yes many people do it....Is it worth it? I don't think it is....but if you are doing nothing else with your time then it may be...earning £1 is better than nothing.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    I have done it for around 8yrs or so, yes its worth it as there is text one (texts are free) working alongside, plus regular point surveys. get at least at min £150 (off the top of my head) a year for doing your shopping etc.. :D

    shopping scanning 1100pts per week
    text 1000 + 200 (200 each text upto certain amount per week)
    text 500 if 'nothing brought' <-- text actual words to get 500.

    also there is a web thing to join for more points per week.
    :confused:

    You can apply for Shop and Scan at www.volunteer4panels.com I found that I waited for sometime before being invited though!

    Shop and scan is very worthwhile to do, I also do consumer pulse which is part of shop and scan. You do have to apply though and wait for an invite from them and I think at the moment it's a long wait.
    Treat other's how you like to be treated.

    They dont have web view version any more any more .
    I do shop and scan too.It is 1.60 a week for submitting your bar codes and picture of receipts. At the moment I am doing the food diary which they offer every few months.
    It is £10 for the full week and you often get invited to do a 2nd week for the same.
    It is very worth it because it takes only minutes to do the shop and scan part.
    About 5 minutes to scan all the shopping and about 3 minutes to save out your pictures and send everything once you have got the routine set in your head.

    Yes that does sound a bit confusing on rereading. :o
    They arent doing 'webview' anymore ,is what I meant.
    It used to be 50p a week I think to have the add on in your browser but they wound it up.
