How long did it take for someone to call?

I think that it was at least a couple of weeks for me to get my call.

I received my scanner last week and I am sending it back this week. After reading all of the information I realized that you are supposed to scan EVERY thing that you purchase AND you are supposed to scan coupons that you MIGHT use BEFORE you use them AND sometimes you have answer additional questions like price and placement of product. I thought that perhaps I could take the scanner with me when I shop, but you cannot do this, so you must scan everything as you unload it at the place of your scanner. I just cannot imagine coming home with a big grocery order and then having to scan each item .

And on top of that, I think that they are asking you to do a LOT of work for very little reward. As I figured it, the MOST that you can get is less than $50 per year. (Please correct me if I don't have that figured right.) That is less than $5 a month. My time is worth more than that.

For those of you who are participating, am I missing something? Can you tell me that it is better than what I am thinking?

You are right, they do ask you to scan any coupon you think you may use. However you do not need to use it once you get to the store. On certain items, mainly non grocery items, they do ask you to manually type in the price of the item and the quanity purchased. I probably spend less than 15 mins a week scanning. I however am not a big shopper. I only go to the supermarket once a week and maybe Walmart, Kmart, etc. every two or three weeks. I really do try to scan everything my husband or I may purchase. In regards to the payout, on the rewards programs I have been doing, it generally takes me 3-4 months plus to cash out for a $10 gc. So I don't mind only making $5 a month on this program. For me every little bit counts but I can see where you are coming from. Also, my scanner is plugged in in one room and I unload my groceries in another. So far no problems there.
