Could someone explain how this works? I have accumulated some points that I want to use at a particular store but I'm not sure how to go about getting the certificate. Say if I had 500 points what amount would be about to get on as a certificate?

500 kicks = $2 reward zone points.........

you click rewards at the bottom

pick your reward

hit redeem

take your phone to cashier and they will enter in the code

What Bluballs31 said, but to find your certificate after you redeem it, you have to click the first tab (the one on the left probably with your name on it).

Once there, under the "My Stuff tab" you should see an icon representing the store that you got the certificate for. For example, if you redeemed points for a BB cert, you should see a BB icon there.

Click the icon and a screen with a code should appear. The cashier has to type in that code at the register. Unfortunately, there is no bar code the the cashier has to manually type it in, and it's like 30 digits long.

Wow! That's disappointing.

Thanks everyone!

I often stop by Best Buy on my way home from work. Go to the front entrance and get my walk in points.

Google shopkick barcodes and the first site has a updated list of barcodes you can scan. You can get to 1250 in no time. Just make sure to scan other stores. Do this for about 4 days. 1250 points is a $5 reward.

Depending on where you live, you can clean up on walk-in / scan-in points. I usually average a $10 BBY cert every 7-8 days, simply because I have participating stores nearby.

Nice! I have one close, maybe I should start doing this as well

How do you get the walk-in to work? I've only tried once, but I followed the directions, but it didn't work.

I would love this program and be cleaning up on points (sort of, where I live the walk in opportunities are not quite that abundant) if only the walk-in points would work for me.

Unfortunately, I don't have an iPhone or other smart phone and am using an iPad2 and it seems that the walk-in points don't seem to work with the iPad2, even though it has a mic (and I think the walk-ins are recognized via a high frequency emitter that is detected when you are in range).

Well, whatever the reason, my walk-in points never work, whether I'm on a 3G signal or the store's wifi network.

I am left trying to accumulate points by tapping on those 1-2 pt bubbles in my nearby stores list, collecting 5-10 pt bonus items in my bonus board, and by scanning.

It's excruciating and I think it takes me like a month to get the 500 pts for a $2 cert if there are enough things for me to scan at BB.

Has anybody gotten the walk-in points to work with an iPad2?

I think you are supposed to stop at the entrance to the store that offers walk-in points. The icon with the man walking in the door should be green, indicating you are in range for the walk in.

Then I think you just launch the app, tap the bubble that has the walk in points, and I think the points will be added to your account.

At least that's how I think it's supposed to work. It's never worked for me on my iPad2.

Sorry, not sure how it would work on an iPad 2. There are other scanning opportunities like Target, Macy's, sometime Sports Authority, and now Michael's...if you have these nearby, of course. Then, if you have Simon Malls, you can get the monthly 200-kick scan for "purchasing" gift cards. Macy's also has this 200-kick scan once a month for their D&G perfumes.

I live across a BBY, Macy's and Michael's. My commute goes through another mall with another BBY, Sports Authority, and Crate n Barrel. Just lucky in where I'm located. When I went to NoCal, there was even more opportunities since their Targets, Toys r Us, etc. had walk-in as well. I was stopping in on the way home from work for that week. Plus, they had 180-kick walk-in's at Target one day. I think I eventually cashed out $30 of certs that week!

I usually have the app open already as I walk into the store (but make sure it doesn't sleep on you). You may have to pause a few seconds by the door until you see the green indicator (upper left for Droids) light up. Just hold it till it becomes a bubble. I think for the apple devices, you then pop the bubble. For Droids, it just pops by itself.

For me, by the time I get to the movies section, the walk-in points have already been added.

If Shopkick gets 45K "likes" on Facebook, they will have 3-pt check-in's. They're at 44,713 last I looked.

We also scan products at any store, not just the one they have listed...

But make sure you're in a store that is designated for scanning said products. If not, you will get banned.

$20 = 5000 kicks. So, you can redeem two $20 gift certs.

So has anyone gotten the Walk-In to work with an ipod touch? I've only tried a few times, but I still haven't had a success yet.

Does it have a mic? It needs a mic to pick up the tone.
