The Scanning Experience

How Scanning Works

IRI Shopper Panel will first ask about which stores you shop at. From there, simply scan the items you purchased and enter in how much you paid for each item. Hit the 'Transmit' button on the Scan N Go app, and you're finished!

If you choose to use the in-home scanner, the transmission is automated. The scanner sends your purchases at no cost to you.

Use the Scanner or the App

Members of IRI Shopper Panel can scan their grocery purchase barcodes using the free handheld scanner that is supplied after joining, or by using the SCAN n GO App, which is a mobile app designed to scan barcodes straight from your phone.

Scan for your first 6 weeks in a row and redeem a $20 Flexi eGift Card

You can redeem your points for gifts such as iTunes gift cards, Bunnings gift cards, Visa gift cards and other amazing rewards.

Easy Points after shopping

September 30, 2016 by Shannon from Australia

The IRI Shopper Panel collects data on each item I purchase. I just scan the bar code and enter the price details and earn points that I can use to get gifts or vouchers. It is very easy and quick, and I enjoy knowing that information about what I buy is collated with lots of other similar people and what they buy so that statistics can be extracted, and used for future product development and marketing.

Scan and Go

September 29, 2016 by Allison from Australia

Since commencing with Scan and Go, my children now get on board after shopping to make sure we have scanned all our products.

Best and quickest way to scan is follow your docket, but as time goes on i get to know what is what so it becomes frozens and cold items and then everything else

It has become a great learning tool for them also as we turn it into a maths exercise too.

It doesnt take up too much of your time, unless you are a huge shopper - hahaha

Great Opportunity

September 25, 2016 by CATH from Australia

I have been a member of IRI Shopper Panel for two years and started off with a scanning device but had problems transmitting data through the phone line so downloaded the APP onto my Android phone. I find it easy to use and the rewards points build up. I have claimed one reward and my son won a competition and received a gift card. Great opportunity to earn items for your time scanning grocery items.

All above board

I've been doing this shopping scanning for just over a year now.
Its tricky at first ,downloading the scanner to my phone and figuring the right thing to do but it doesn't take long.
I like scanning and having my say towards what the shops think about our spending. If it helps all good.
Its easy to rope the kids in to help. Doesn't take long,takes me between 20/30 min to scan and have it put away with kids help. You call out whats on the docket in order,they are quick to find it ,scan and they put it away.teaches them costs as well.
I like doing the puzzles either online or from the newsletter I get quarterly. The comps are fun and yes I have won a huge evoucher at one point,that was exciting for us. It can be time consuming at first until you get a routine then its easy.
A legitimate company working to help the stores you shop at help us better. Sort of like a shopping census lol
I've had to ring a few times when I had problems logging in or with the scan part but the staff were attentive and helpful and I got it sorted .
points add up and their are other ways with comps and surveys to earn points . The online gifts are great ,im saving mine for something big lol
Other than my phone that the scanner is on dying a slow death I Haven't had problems that can't be fixed.
One thing though I can't seem to find the app in the store to add to my windows phone,which I'd like to do .
The new phone is more reliable but I have it on ipad and its working.
This Is the only online shopping survey I am in and I have checked out a few and didn't like the messy way things were going in those sights and getting too many crappy emails. Yes you have to actually type in the prices but really is that so hard ?
All in all I'm happy with doing the scanning knowing I'm helping myself and others and having a bit of fun.
Thanks IRI ,a decent site and easy to maneuver
Persevere its worth it.

Thank you for your review, Joh. Unfortunately our Scan N GO app is only available for Android and Apple phones/devices, that's why you can't find it on a windows phone. Thank you for being a loyal member.
Not Worth The Effort

October 20, 2023 by JIM from Australia

I have been a member of the IRI Shopper Panel for 6 weeks and am finally able to make my first redemption of $20. I basically have two issues with this redemption process. Firstly, why should I have to wait 5 business days for an e-voucher to be delivered by email? This process should be instant. Secondly, why can't I spend my e-voucher at Woolworths or Coles Supermarkets where I make most of my purchases? $20 does not get you very far at the stores on the redemption list whereas at Woolworths or Coles you can spend your money on essential groceries. If these two supermarket chains are not added to the list of retail outlets where the e-voucher can be used, I will stop wasting my time scanning my supermarket purchases. What's the point of scanning for an additional five months to receive my next $20 e-voucher? Once bitten, twice shy ...
