    I came here for the Scan Shipping deal too

    At one point I was managing over a dozen posts a day. I don't have that kind of time any more.

    I read the offer post thoroughly, it says nothing about maintaining a presence and as you're not staff I'm going to continue to assume that, I will link my account after 20 posts and see what happens with the free shipping the next time I order, if Scan honours it then great, if not then I'm not going to lose my **** over it but I would of course pass on the word that the offer terms are not accurate as it's my opinion that if a maintained presence is required then it should be made clear.
    As Peter said, there is a clause of "regular and active". I was just trying to point this out in a friendly way ,as I have seen people lose their free shipping over it and then post to see why at a later date.

    You're correct in that I'm not staff, but I was an Admin on here for many years and have helped people out with countless issues like this. Again, I was just trying to offer advice on free shipping (given that this post opens with the admission that you're here because of it) so that you keep it long term. Some things are easy to miss, which is evident if you've "thoroughly" read the posts on it and missed it already.

    Just trying to help!

    OK thank you, I've read all the stuff I was linked and I understand the situation better now, I had not read the FAQ, only the OP from '08.

    I suppose did ask for a post like yours because of my OP admission as you've pointed out, again thanks for the advice.
