I would love to hear your experience about this because it didn’t work out for me when I tried it a few years ago
I did this for a few years. I felt the time and energy I put into doing this was NOT worth the effort. The prizes were highly priced and I got a small gift maybe once a year. IMHO it is not worth the effort.
I did this for about a year – we got one set of playing cards for the kids and a set of toy boats for them in the bathtub – that was it – so not worth it in my opinion.
I did this for about 3 months maybe, and it didn’t workout for me either. They ask that you scan everything that you buy, whether you used a coupon, if it was sale priced, and on some stores you had to put in the price of each item. I just didn’t have the time, I could just imagine trying to do it during Christmas. I’m also not the most organized person, so maybe it would work for you, I’m always on the run, so it’s hard to take an extra 10-15 min to do this.
We have been doing it for about three years. Haven’t turned in for any points yet, so I probably have a lot. All I end up doing is the groceries and Target stuff. I do not have time to scan takeout food and gas and other things. They haven’t asked for my scanner back, so I must do enough.
I really should look at how many points I have. Thanks for the reminder:)
