    "Dear Antony,

    Call me cynical but this appears to be a little generic.........

    You transmit your barcodes and get points for them {1100 points be it one barcode or 100} you also {if you choose to}send photos of your till receipts {again 1 or 100} and get 500 points so overall 1600 points per week.
    Once you have enough points {min 10000} you then claim your reward/rewards, this can be Amazon vouchers {sent via email or from a list including Argos/burtons/WH Smiths plus others that will be sent by post {normally arrive within 5 days.
    Also you get points {500 per month} for a survey re your BB ect so the points soon mount up
    .We have been doing it since 2011 and found it very rewarding with birthdays/christmas or just to treat ourselves.
    You will also {with luck} be invited to do a food diary that pays {in points} £1 per day and lasts up to 2 weeks with a £3 bonus on top.
    It took us a few weeks to get used to zapping the goods but now is second nature and IMO worth the few mins each week it takes to scan and send :)

    Thanks :) very comprehensive reply. so it would take around 7 weeks to get to the min cash in of 10,000 - what is the cash equivalent, what is a point worth? tia 😃
