National Consumer Panel – Earn Free Stuff
The National Consumer Panel (formerly Nielsen Homescan) focuses on measuring consumer attitudes and behavior. The panel is made up of people just like you, whose opinions help manufacturers and retailers make decisions on what products to develop or improve. You’ll earn gift points that are redeemable for name-brand merchandise, including electronics equipment, jewelry, household items, toys, and much more. You’ll also earn entries into their many exciting sweepstakes. But, above all, you’ll be making your opinions count!
As a panel member, NCP will provide you with a hand-held scanner. Every time you or members of your household shop, you’ll use the scanner to scan the barcodes on all of your purchases. Then, once a week, you’ll send Homescan your purchase information. It’s as easy as that! Just click here to get started. *Some zip codes may not qualify.

This is a wonderful program!
June 13th, 2009 at 5:13 amI love Nielson! I just scan my groceries as I’m putting them away. It is so easy . . . and using the scanner is fun! =)
June 13th, 2009 at 7:42 amThis sounds cool!
Thanks for telling us about it

July 27th, 2009 at 3:33 pmDo you need a home phone to submit the data to them? I don’t have a home phone and was wondering if I should bother signing up. Thanks!
September 15th, 2009 at 8:53 pmHi Kim,
I’m not sure, but the form doesn’t specify “home phone” so I would think that you could use your cell number (if you have one)

September 16th, 2009 at 6:38 amHow many points do you get for each item? And, how long does it take to accumulate points? As for the prizes, would it take a long time to get something really good?
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:34 pmFYI..I got the scanner and never could get it to submit the info so I returned it. I was harassed for months by them and an attorney saying that I didn’t return it, even though ups tracking info said that it was received. I guess they figured out that they were wrong since I haven’t heard from them in a while. Just beware and if you do have to return it, make sure you keep the tracking number.
January 14th, 2010 at 3:46 pmI signed up…took way too much time with littlw reward. It was going to take me over a year to earn anything aned even then it was a small item. I returned it and was also harrassed by calls. Ups delivered it finally and the calls have stopped. If you are late submitting by one day they start calling! UGH!
January 15th, 2010 at 7:40 amI signed up. I received my scanner. But it was near Christmastime and I had no time to open the box or do anything with it. I sent it back using their free return label. It was easy and, hopefully, that will be the end of it. I did receive a nice bonus gift in the meantime. Often we can get reusable shopping bags, but they sent me a reusable shopping bag that was insulated with that silver stuff (for cold foods). I’m happy to have it. Someday I might try doing this again, but I realized I just don’t have the time.
January 15th, 2010 at 6:41 pmI’ve been a member of Homescan for 12+ years and have always been very happy with the scanning/sending and especially with the free gifts. I’ve even ordered the gifts to give as Xmas gifts. One major perk about ordering the gifts, no shipping charges! Deb says they harrassed her by calling… they’ve never harrassed me because I’ve been late sending. NEVER. I’ve gotten a postcard when I was 3 weeks late sending a report once. That was all. I’ve had to return my scanner several times for maintenance and have never had a problem with them receiving or returning the unit to me.
February 10th, 2010 at 12:39 pmAlso… Kim had asked about using a home phone to submit reports… I also do not have a home phone, and you cannot send over a cell phone but I take my scanner to work with me and send from there during my breaks. It’s a toll free # and it works just fine.
February 10th, 2010 at 12:41 pmI’m trying to sign up but it says I am already signed up. I,ve never received a scanner and I would like to get one so I can start entering
February 10th, 2010 at 12:52 pmI was a panel member but can not get back on with the change. Please help me. Thank you.
February 15th, 2010 at 9:18 pmI’m not really sure how to help you. Have you contacted them through their website?
