Nielsen Consumer Panel Accepting Applications

by 14 Comments


Looking for a fun way to earn some great prizes? Then you might be interested in signing up for the Nielsen Consumer Panel.

Panel members are provided with a hand-held scanner, and then every time you or members of your household shop, you’ll use the scanner to scan the bar codes on all of your purchases. Upload your data to Nielsen once a week to earn gift points that are redeemable for name-brand merchandise, including electronics equipment, jewelry, household items, toys, and much more!

I’ve been a Nielsen Consumer panelist in the past and enjoyed it very much. Nielsen is great about walking you through technical issues, so don’t worry about feeling overwhelmed. Note that it was several months before I heard from them when I signed up – they have a limited number of openings available in each area.

The Nielsen Consumer Panel isn’t for everyone, but you can try it risk free. They’ll provide you with a self-addressed, postage-paid box so you can return everything if you decide it’s not for you!

Pinecone Research Open Again (Cash Surveys)

by 48 Comments

Update: Wow, that was quick. It looks like they’ve already reached their target number of signups. I’ll let you know if I see them open the application again!

Surveys sites offer a great way to earn a little extra pocket cash, and Pinecone Research is one of the best companies around. I just got word that they’re accepting applications again!

They pay $3 per completed survey via PayPal and occasionally will mail out products for panelists to test. I’ve always found them to be pleasant and responsive to work with, and they pay very quickly.

Pinecone is a pretty exclusive site, and it’s not often that they open up their membership registration, so I’d recommend applying now if this sounds like something you’d be interested in!
