This is a really neat program! Join Nielsen’s Homescan Consumer Panel to earn gift cards and free products for scanning receipts to your purchases and emailing them. They only need people in certain areas so you have to put in your zip code to see if you are needed. If you are selected they will send you a scanner to participate.

I found this program to be far more trouble than it was worth- imagine having to scan each and every purchase you make, often entering prices and sorted by store. Per pound/deli items take additional work, and the points you earn are virtually nil.

Thanks Melanie! Has anyone else tried this?

I agree with Melanie. I tried this for a month thinking that I would earn some great prizes. I was wrong, it is ALOT of work. Not only did you have to enter prices, the store then a description of the item you bought. I have done other surveys for Nielsen and this is the one that is the most work for the least amount of credit. Just my two cents.

I agree. It is a pain to do. I returned mine after a month. From my understanding it takes years to earn the really good prizes.
