Just got an e-mail that Nielsen Home Scan is currently accepting a limited number of applications for their homescan program HERE. They have also totally dropped the requirement to have a land line. So a land line is NO longer required!
I have been part of this program for about 9 months now. If you are accepted into the program, you are provided with a hand held scanner that you use to record your purchases. You then transmit your purchases 1x per week by phone, it can be fun for kids to help out too!
You can also get a lot of points just from doing the on-line surveys. They really help boost your totals and the surveys are super short. The longer you are part of the program the more points you’ll get for every activity and the more points you earn when you transmit. If you are going on vacation or just too busy to scan you can let them know and they’ll actually give you points even when you are not scanning.
Points are redeemable for all sorts of prizes (Dooney & Bourke purses, Fisher Price Toys, a Nintendo Wii, ipods and more). Plus, every month 15 panel members win $1,000 and every quarter 2 panel members win $20,000. Not everyone will be accepted, and there is usually a waiting period if you are. You can apply HERE. Good Luck. 🙂

I am in MN and got an email with a join now link that sent me to more information and a survey. I’m trying to fill it out and I have all my information and my husband’s information entered but each time I click ‘continue’ it basically tells me to complete everything on the form before pressing continue (uhhh..everything is complete I’ve checked it so many times I could scream! haha) has anyone else ran into this?
