Cindy55 mentioned this on the Field Agent thread and I downloaded the app myself to check it out. It looked so promising, lots of stuff in stores all around me and stores I frequently service.
The closest Target was gone by the time I was headed out, and I was disappointed because they have free wifi. I checked my data before I left, so I would know how much it uses.
Ran errands at a drug store and grocery store, Found a few things to scan at each location, and they also ask you to answer surveys in between. Time consuming for no points. It also asks if you plan to purchase the product.
I had 130 points when I got home and had used less than 1 mb of data. You get a gift card for 340 points, so I am on my way to.......a $1 gift card?????
I think this is pure marketing - surveys and getting you to actually look at their products. However, I admit I probably won't be able to resist scanning a couple things if I'm in a store and have the time! You can also use your points to spin a slot machine game to earn more points. I gambled away 36 to win back 20.
