Great news, Nielsen National Homescan Consumer Panel is now accepting applications again! If you’re not familiar with NCP, it’s a popular program where you earn points which are redeemable for electronics, household items, jewelry, toy, gift cards and more. You’re provided with a hand-held scanner and every time you shop, you’ll use the scanner to scan the barcodes on your purchases. Then once a week, you’ll send them your purchase information. I’ve heard quite a few different opinions about NCP, on the down side it can be time consuming but on the plus side I’ve always heard they offer generous rewards and it gets rave reviews from their members. Sign up free here to see if they have openings in your area and no landline is required for sign up. :
