Frequently Asked Questions
Shop & Scan is an exciting membership club, that rewards you for your grocery shopping.
Our market research survey collects shopping information from over 30,000 households across Great Britain each week. This information is put into reports which brands use to understand how popular the products they make are.
Shop & Scan participation is completely free and straightforward. As a panel member, you'll scan barcodes of all your grocery purchases using the mobile app. Every week you will receive reward points which can be exchanged for a range of vouchers. You'll also have access to competitions and prize draws as well as other member benefits.
Your information will be treated confidentially, and you will only be contacted in relation to your panel membership and not for any other reason.
