Record Your Purchases and Get Rewarded

As a panel member, Nielsen Consumer Panel will ask you to record all of your weekly purchases. Simply record each of the items you've purchased into the Nielsen Diary, and enter the price from the receipt. Every 2 weeks, an auditor will come to your home to record your purchases in their hand-held terminal. The scanner's memory will save all of the information that the auditor scans. Once the Auditor is complete and the purchase recordings are aligned, the Auditor will sync the data straight to Head Office.

Get Rewarded for Your Participation

In return for recording all your purchases, you will receive a token of appreciation once a year.

Eligibility: Australia, South Africa, UK residents only, 16+.

If you're looking to make some quick cash then this is not the place you want to join. But if you're in it for the long haul there are great rewards to be had. I've been a member for many years now and I regularly choose items from the reward catalog and they arrive promptly. I read some of the poor reviews especially the ones concerning broken scanners. I have the NCP app on my phone so I do all my scanning with my smartphone so I don't have to worry about an actual piece of equipment.
It's really easy. As soon as you get used to scanning all of your groceries and listing even your takeout orders it's a breeze.

Received absolutely nothing for about 6 months worth of scanning. The awards catalog is shameful value you can get unless you save up your points for about 6 years and then you might be able to cash out for an AMC gift card. Last year I was selected for a snack diary as well as my son. I was compensated my son was not and I was told that my child had eaten too healthy and that he was disqualified. I finally decided to terminate and they have harassed me telling me that they will report me to collections if I do not return their transmitter. I have already sent their transmitter in and still receive multiple harassing messages.

The company pays you approximately 15 cents for scanning once per week; it doesn't matter if scan only one product or if I scan every day.
Does it worth it? I do not think so!
Their CEOs and managers definitely do not receive this payment per week.
Greedy company! Avoid by any means!

I would give it a less rating if I could. I received my scanner and started to use it to realize you don't get much in the way of points and it is time consuming scanning your items especially groceries having to scan then enter the other options for each item ie. discount at store or on card and some stores you have to enter the price and if you do a big shop it's not so easy. If you don't scan often they call you constantly so I decided to return the item. I requested a waybill then two days later I was getting emails and phone calls that if I don't return the scanner immediately then they would put me in collections. I hadn't even received the waybill yet. I will be glad to see it gone and back to them. I do not recommend this to anyone. They didn't even give me time to receive the waybill they were on me right away. Don't do it. Waste of time.

I've been doing this for 2 years, I haven't had anything back from it. Just constant phone calls letters. I send the equipment back weeks ago and today I had a bill for £115 for them. I would not
Recommend to anyone. Waste of time!!!
