They have their own slot so I just keep one. You also can get 2 different quests from spinning one stop. One quest if you have an AR scan task and one task if you don’t have one. If you finish one of the tasks though, you can’t pick up the second.

I just keep 1 so I don’t have to keep deleting it
vstacey6
Yes and no. Yes I immediately throw them away. Unless I will be in that spot for a while, then I leave it so it doesn’t pop up every time I spin the same stop.

I thought the game made you have one even if you don’t like it?
I deleted mine because I hate them too, and the next pokestop I spinned, gave me another, so I deleted it again, and the next pokestop gave me another, so I gave up!
Please if there is a trick to have them all removed, share it with me!!!

No, I used to in the beginning but they always show up so there’s no point.

I keep one so I don’t get any others.

I do the task for poffins otherwise I let it ride.

No. I’ve held one, incomplete, for years, now, so I don’t get them, anywhere else.

Only if they’re for Pokeballs. I’ve been using Poffins to get Best Buddies and, more importantly, to speed up XL candy grinding.

I have over 400 Poffins and I use 1 or 2 of them everyday. Scans are a great way to get balls quickly. I don’t bother to do a good job. I just move my phone enough to keep it from giving me an error. If I’m in the car then it’s usually the floorboard and dash. If I’m walking with my pup then they get a great scan of the dog.

I haven’t gotten a scan in probably 8 months :/

When I travel abroad, I get one scan quest and leave it until I travel again. Since you can’t get rid of them completely, I prefer to have a quest that reminds me of a fun trip, rather than the swing set next door. 😄

I don’t know why, but I haven’t received a scan tasks since Fennekin community day. For Community Day my wife and I spent that time in an area with a single PokeStop and a walking path, we walked it around the PokeStop scanned it about +20 times and never saw another scan tasks since then.

If you keep a scan quest, any Pokestops that will give you a scan quest will give you normal field research.

Poffin or nothing. Niantic needs to cut the shit.
odinthesigtyr
Only do the poffins ones

Only if it’s from a drive-by spin that I never get out to access
But if it’s from my place of work, yeah, I’m gonna scan lol
Why waste the opportunity for free stuff? It’s an easy task
I’ve had one from a stop on my usual route for ages now that I’m still waiting to scan when it gets warm enough to go on walks again
PunfullyObvious
Did one scan in the early days. About 1/12th of the way through I started to feel like a doofus, by the time I was finished with the scan I felt like a major tool. Never again. Have held on to the one I got shortly after when I realized that deleting was a fool’s errand.

I keep mine so I always get the stops task that’s hiding underneath what would be another ar task.
yojo_06
I don’t get scan tasks anymore, they caught on that I only submit video of my feet.

Poffin or GTFO

If the reward isn’t poffin, I’ll throw away immediately.
StayedWoozie
Nah, I love it when pokemon Go ask me to go take pictures of children at a playground for 3 pokeballs.
