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 cash or 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 (you can read some reader experiences here), 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!

I filled out the info, then the screen read, “At this time, we do not have a scanner available for a household from your area. If you would like to be considered for the panel in the future, please register at http://www.ncponline.com and you will be placed on our reserve panel.”
I clicked on the link provided, and it took me back to the page to which you referred us. Hopefully, I’ll hear from them when they have a scanner available. Thanks for posting!
