It is a bit hard to use and definitely can be more user friendly but it does reward you for doing something very simple. Still very easy money I would say.

I've been doing this for nearly 20…
I've been doing this for nearly 20 years now and have received £100s in rewards. It would be good if places such as Bannatynes and supermarkets could be included in the rewards vouchers too.
They can be very slow to respond to issues but always fast to remind you to transmit. Only one of our laptops will allow us to transmit, the other one comes up with an error.
An app for our phones would be an amazing addition to the experience.

Hi Lynda,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and especially for being with us for nearly 20 years. We’re delighted to hear you’ve received hundreds of pounds in rewards over the years. That loyalty really means a lot to us.
We appreciate your suggestions about expanding the reward voucher options to include places like Bannatyne’s and supermarkets. We’re always reviewing our services and feedback like yours helps us understand what members would most value.
We’re sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced with transmitting on one of your laptops. That certainly shouldn’t be happening. If you haven’t already, please contact our support team with details of the error message and your device specifications so we can investigate further and help resolve it.
You also mentioned response times, we understand how frustrating delays can be. While reminders are automated, support queries are handled individually, and we’re continuously working to improve response times and overall service levels.
An app is a great suggestion, and it’s something we know many members would welcome. We’ll be sure to pass your feedback along to our development team.
Thanks again for your long-standing support and thoughtful feedback.
We truly value it.

I love Shop and Scan

Can't submit, won't submit...
I've been with them for almost 15 years but the archaic software and hardware is letting the system down. I thought the CTWS issue was just me, and got a new clicker - but it's the same issue. The clicker only works when I am using an ancient laptop I'm about to trade in so soon I won't be able to submit my codes at all. The rewards are pitiful.
I do the majority of my shopping at a "refill" store and they won't even consider adding this to their system. This is craziness, as they are supposed to be tracking trends. Very disappointing.

Hi Elly,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble transmitting barcodes. Please respond to our "Share your information" request on Trustpilot with your panel ID so we can investigate further and offer support if possible. We’re aware of some compatibility issues with certain Windows 11 devices that may prevent successful task completion.
Please support apple
I can’t understand how in this day and age, you don’t support Apple Mac for transmission? Or have an app for scanning / transmitting. I have an old laptop that’s only for shop and can but now even that’s giving up and needs to go and it looks like I need to leave you after nearly 20 years. I don’t want to as the vouchers are handy for Christmas! Even though they are nowhere near as rewarding as they once were but still. Is there any plans to support Apple?

Hi Derek,
Thank you for your feedback and for being a long-standing member. We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and understand the inconvenience this has caused.
Currently, our transmission system is supported on Windows devices only, and we do not yet have an app available. While there are no confirmed plans to support Apple Mac at this time, your comments have been shared with our development team for consideration.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
dreadful support for anything remotely…
dreadful support for anything remotely like a modern computer. Kantar are completely disinterested in putting in the much needed and overdue updates needed for the 21st century. How this company continues to exist is impossible to understand. The lack of ability to use a windows 11 computer is on going and not something I have just now experienced.

Outdated Systems
Was using shop and scan with windows 11 perfectly until a ctws error code appeared. Contacted support and they told me to use ms edge in compatibility mode. Worked fine until website would not respond and crash. I then stopped transmitting and few weeks later rang them up and they told me that they are currently working on a fix for the ctws error since it has affected many people and the lady told me to use chrome with an extension installed. The extension works but it doesn't even transmit! Outdated technology and they clearly haven't updated anything to fix the problem. Even on their website they are still displaying a messge saying that on 10th october 2025 they are closed! Get a grip ShopandScan and fix your outdated systems!

Inflation and rewards
After almost 15 to 20 years of doing this the rewards have never increased. have they heard of inflation?
The vouchers are varied but over 5 -6 weeks to earn £10
They have never updated the shopping scan book so a lot of shops have long gone which to be honest makes no difference anyway. And do they read the receipts?

End of a 'Good thing'?
Used to love taking part in Shop and Scan and liked the vouchers and I found the feedback we receive (newsletters etc) interesting but since upgrading to Windows 11 I have not been able to transmit. Have spent hours with their IT Dept (and my own) to no avail. They've said try to transmit every so often but I'll probably give up now.

Does not work with Windows 11
ETA: It suddenly decided to transmit after months of not working on my Windows 11 PC. Only time will tell if this continues to work.
I have been with Shop and Scan for years but have been unable to transmit my barcodes since I have upgraded to Windows 11. I have emailed them, called them and they have not been able to provide a solution. They just say uninstall and reinstall, update drivers, etc. I have done all this and still can't get it to work. I had to use someone else's pc and that worked until this week. Now no computer works. Uninstalling and reinstalling does nothing.

Hasn't kept up with inflation. Generally okay
Generally okay, but poor return and interface lets it down. I've been doing S&S for almost a decade, and whilst it initially was good value, the £1.10 for your codes and the 50p for your receipts just isn't worthwhile since inflation hit. Their sister operation, Shoppix, is even worse value since they inflated the voucher costs. Additionally, when we moved house, I wanted to update my address on their system, but it proved impossible. You can earn £20 for their food diary, but the amount of time it take up means it just isn't worth the effective hourly rate. Not sure I can be bothered with it tbh.

Used for years but
Been using this for years and has worked perfectly until last week when I had a scanner issue. Several emails later and having tried everything they suggested I still cant transmit barcodes and no further response from their help desk.
Rubbish customer service. Cant be bothered with the hassle anymore so going to cancel my account.

Like the vouchers, hate the technology
Joined quite a few years ago, and I appreciate the amount of vouchers I can earn each year. Very helpful on a low income. I also joined Screenwise, and that’s great for getting more points.
However… they’ve been “looking into” updating their website/surveys/software etc the entire time I’ve been a member. It’s got to the point that I have to keep an old PC in my flat JUST FOR ShopAndScan (it’s literally turned on once a week to transmit) because their software is so ridiculously outdated. I use an iPhone, iPad and MacBook day to day, but MacOS isn’t compatible. It’s not the early 2000s anymore. Macs aren’t that hard to create software for.
Every time there’s a survey asking about what operating system I use, it only goes up to Windows 7! And who in their right mind is still using Internet Explorer in 2025 for goodness sake?
I’ve also given up participating in Food Diary because the website is so outdated and frankly almost unusable.
Perhaps they should have a look at the competition to see how to design a workable app instead of relying on such antiquated technology.
Surely they realise that in a few short years most of us won’t be able to run their software anymore? Why hasn’t it been updated in so long?

Hi Ruth,
We truly appreciate your continued participation and are glad to hear that the vouchers have been a helpful benefit.
We fully acknowledge that our current software and platforms need significant updates. Our technical teams are currently working on improving the technology, please bear with us.
We understand how inconvenient it must be to maintain older hardware just to continue transmitting, and that’s not the experience we want our members to have. Please rest assured that your comments have been passed on to the relevant teams, and we are actively working toward more accessible, up-to-date solutions.
Your detailed feedback, particularly around the Food Diary and survey options, is incredibly helpful and reinforces the urgency of these updates. Thank you again for your patience and for sticking with us, we genuinely value your input as we move forward.
Thank you

Out dated & ancient tech
I had an error with my scanner. It says to send them an email. I sent one on the 20th, there was no response until they called via telephone to mither why I hadnt sent this week.
Their drivers list the most recent OS as WIndows 7, a 15 yaer old OS that hasnt had any updates for 5 years.
They want you to run Internet Explorer, a browser that was discontinued in 2022.
Their software isnt signed, so looks very suspicous.
The scanner is 30 year old tech, requiring outdated software & drivers to function.
When their list of suggestions didn't fix my error, I emailed back, their response was to call them via telephone. Why they have an email support address when they just want you to call who knows.

Closed account then non stop hounding from them
Was with shop and scan for awhile, stopped doing it due to life in general getting in the way, my account was closed to to in activity then they sent me a envelope out to return the clicker , sent it to the wrong address after I told them the correct address. After they finally sent it to the right address I sent it off then emailed them straight after to say I sent it back and since then I’ve had constant emails and letters telling me to return the clicker even though I returned it weeks ago

Why only Windows?
Mostly we (my wife & I) are happy with the process for logging our shopping with Shop & Scan We share the task of scanning our shopping with the clicker, and I deal with scanning the receipts and submitting the barcodes from the scanner. *HOWEVER* my wife's PC (running Windows 10) seems to be getting slower and slower - we have a strong suspicion that this is a dark plot by Microsoft to force her into buying a new PC and Windows 11. My PC runs Linux, and I would be happy to install Linux on my wife's PC *BUT* this would cut us off from earning a useful supplementary income from the incentives to Shop & Scan. I would be interested to know how many other Shop & Scan users would like to turn away from Windows!
