Nielsen (the same people who do the TV ratings) is accepting a limited number of applications for their home scan program,a land line is NO longer required!
I have been part of the Nielsen home scan program for about a year now. Here’s how it works: Sign up here and if you are approved they send you a scanner. You scan all the purchases you bring into your house, groceries, healthy and beauty, clothes, etc. (This is a fun thing to let the kids do!) Once a week, you hook the scanner up to your computer or your phone and in about a minute it transmits the data back to Nielsen.
You earn points for each weekly submission (150 points but it goes up the longer you’ve been a member) and then you also complete a short survey on each store you shopped at that week (100 points per store). You can also get a lot of points just from doing the on-line surveys. They really help boost your totals and are super short. If you are going on vacation or just too busy to scan you can let them know and they’ll give you points even when you are not scanning.
The points can be exchanged for a variety of prizes such as toys, electronics, gift cards, purses, etc. Plus, every month 15 panel members win $1,000 and every quarter 2 panel members win $20,000. The program isn’t for everyone, and not everyone will be accepted, and there is usually a waiting period if you are. You can check it out HERE. Good Luck!

Thanks Christie. Just signed up and fingers are crossed that I am accepted. Sounds like a lot of fun.
Do you have an idea of what the points are valued at? For example, how many points required for giftcards?
Thanks
