    I have sometimes paused when scanning but just continue - this has happened when my scanner has run out of power & sometimes if I am interrupted for some reason.
    It sounds to me that perhaps you are missing important information more often than you think.
    I would think they would need to know the total of the shop so that they can tie up with the till receipt.

    It seems to imply that it is happening a few times but I don't think I do miss scanning a lot. But I wanted them to explain it to me but they said they would get back to me. If you could see what you had scanned maybe that would help cos sometimes I think did I scan that item especially bit you have bought a few of the same thing. I will give them another ring

    Phoned them and they cant tell me anything, cant tell me if its happened once, twice, if i have scan them in wrong order. Nothing. So i just need to take care when scanning. Nothing you can do either if you have made a mistake and realise. Tough luck.

    I think it is for sending your till receipts over the Easter weekend - they did send an e-mail recently but I seem to have deleted it. I also received them together with the usual weekly points.

    Thank you
    Ah yes that sounds about right. I know they do it at Christmas. But not sure if I saw that. I remember that screenwise wanted all technology transmitting over the weekend too. I forget as some of these Kantar things are me, some are for hubby and some are all of us.

    Yes it was 500 extra points if you scanned and transmitted over the Easter weekend, I've received them too.
