afternoon all, weather wet and horrible here all day

Please can I kind person sum up shopprize for me

OH has an android so I've downloaded onto his phone and I've read the rules and regs but still have questions - excuse, being a bit dim headed today

What is the maximum number of receipts you can upload a day?
Can you enter more than one receipt from the same supermarket in one day?
Is it just supermarkets or do shops like Boots, Argos, Clintons, Home Bargains etc count?
Does it matter about the value of the receipt - is it better to enter high value rather than the under a fiver ones?

I randomly scanned some and it seems to give me 100 points each time - is that the same for any value of receipt and is it the same for any store?
You also seem to get extra points for going up levels and I seem to be on level 4 now. How many receipts do you need to scan to go up each level?

I've only seen a vague mention of gift cards so far it all seems to be sweepstake entries which I worry about clicking on accidentally

Is there anything else that I need to know - thanking you in advance kindly

Also a question about shopimum and pick up bars please

Can anyone remember what is or was the expiry date for them?

I bought 4 bars in 2 separate transactions on Saturday from our Morrisons (only stocked 2 versions) , a set for my account and one for OHs account. We both had messages back to say that the offer expired on Friday

Today I went to the app and under Pick up bars the 2 flavours I'd not bought it said "finishes in 10 hours"

Very confusing - I wasn't sure if the offer had all finished on Friday but then it had been revived today or if 2 bars had a Friday expiry and 2 other flavours had Monday ....

So I messaged them and within half an hour both of us had had our applications accepted :T
So I really don't know if I'd made a mistake or if it was them ...

Much relieved anything, I'd also used the receipts for COS/Q so at least the biscuits cupboard has been replenished for OH - too hard for me to bite into

I think you do have to do it a step at a time or it gets very confusing and over whelming.

Many of the offers seem to be just for Asda or Mr !!!!!! which is annoying if it means making a special trip and often things appear with just a few days expiry on them.
If I am trying to have a NSD or I am not going to be near a supermarket then I try not to look at the app so I don't know what new things have appeared

If anyone is getting the free pots of squidy soreen cake bars from Sada check the expiry dates on the tub lids carefully.
The 3 I got on Saturday - this was from a very big busy Sada - when I checked them this morning all have either the 27th or 28th September expiry dates on them :eek: A rooky mistake not checking I know.

My store must have over ordered or just have very bad stock rotation

so no good for adding to the food bank bags :mad:

I rung Soreen and they said that they could have up to 28 days on them so even if you did find one with a full 28 days it probably would be no good for food banks as they need at least a months expiry. I don't know for sure but possibly if you have contacts in a nearby night shelter, homeless hostel or a womens rescue they might be happier to accept or maybe it might be worth offering via the Olio app.

anyway I am sending my 3 pots into work with OH - in itself this is annoying as OH is chief tea boy and provides milk, coffee and tea and when he is on holiday or away no one else bothers to restock :mad:
So also providing them with cake is taking the biscuit

5 receipts per day. Doesn't matter about the monetary value, you get 100 coins for each receipt. All shops count and I've done multiple from the same shop in a day. As in I've wombles 5 Lidl receipts and put them all in and had no issues.
If you click on the level bar it'll tell you how far away from the next level you are and what you with for each receipt. You get a daily bonus of coins for.opening the app each day and a bonus when you reach the next level.
I don't enter the sweepstakes, I prefer to save my coins for the Amazon vouchers. 7500 coins = £5. If you click on the bit at the top you'll see a cash out option and that's where you get the amazon vouchers, you just enter your email address and it's sent to.you pretty much instantly. Always goes to junk for me though, so beware of that.

Think that about covers it lol, but if there's anything else just shout and I'll try and help Im up to £30 in Amazon now.
