Nielsen has been a household name for many years, so I was happy when they chose me to participate in a ratings study using a personal meter. They sent a $10 bill which was a nice gesture. However, I was really unhappy when their agent called yesterday, asked me questions about our household, and then told me my son had to participate or no-go. I am over 65, my son who co-owns the condo is 36. Except for paying bills, etc. we live separate lives. Nowhere in the cover letter or in the brochure (Great News! You've been chosen) does it say everyone in the household has to participate.

When I originally was called to participate in the program. My wife and I said why not? So we got the meters and other necessary equipment and everything seems to be pretty straight forward. During my first conversation with Nielsen about how the meters should be use, I was told that I should be carrying this device all the time and should be at least 400 points. That makes you qualify for a reward. So first few weeks past and voilá we got our first check. $35 for each member of the household, every month the amount was practically the same, sometimes will bump ($45 - $55, saying that we been extra rewarded, until... 7 months into the program, the amounts start getting smaller and smaller to the point of getting $20 a month or $25 I called Nielsen saying: I don't understand. We are getting an average of 750 points a week and we still getting that small amount, but 6 months before we got $45. They told me that the points are random and you will not get the same amount of money all the time, so why get constant $ 45 a month and then go lower? They didn't have an answer Then we got called to participate in the worst program ever, their internet program To me still not working the way it should be, they just pay you for surfing on the internet. But the problem is if you phone gets updated, like iPhone IOS, Nielsen will have to kick out of from the program, because they are not up to date. The last part of the story is when we call to tell them we are moving from NY to TX and they told me that we been withdraw of the program because we sign up to NY panel and not Texas, on top of that we are 3 to 4 days shy to our anniversary with Nielsen and we were told that we are not getting the anniversary bonus because we left the program. I explained to them several times, we were kicked out of the program, not left voluntary the program. Long story short, this program could sound an instant source of easy money, but then the take you into a bogus program, were you was promise some money, but there is always an excuse or a trick, of not getting what you been promised.

Signed up to do the surveys. They called and made sure all information was correct and told me they'd mail the diaries out along with $30. I did NOT get all diaries nor the money they promised. They keep calling at least 6 times a day to ask the same 3 questions they already have my answers for. I tell them I'm at work so they call back 4 more times. I am sick of it and they won't stop. I called this evening to be unsubscribed and the guy that answered was very rude and arrogant nor did he ask for my name or number which I was calling from my husbands phone since mine just died so how did he unsubscribe me without any information? If you don't like your job then you should go find a new one instead of answering the phones and being highly rude to customers and yet lying to them! I will never do another survey from the Nielsen company at all! If you want your phone to ring off the hook from 6am til 8pm every day then go sign up. They claim they'll send money with the survey and yet they don't. I was supposed to receive $30 with my 4 diaries and got nothing. My friend is also still waiting on the $55 they promised her. Horrible, and poor customer service support! I don't advise anyone to sign up for their jokes or lies.

For this company, you have to be a lucky chosen one to participate in their ratings panel. (Hint, they seem to choose people in good standing with Pinecone). They send you a small meter to wear with you at all times in order to earn points. If you wear your meter enough, and earn over 400 pts on a given week, you are given a $15 bonus. All you have to do is wear the meter. It doesn't make a difference how much media you watch or listen to. They also pay you $5 every month just for being a member, therefore you can average about $55 every month if you wear your meter enough. I believe the ratings study goes for about a two year period. They pay me on time every single month like clockwork. Excellent company and very reliable.

I was invited to join this panel earlier today. I downloaded the software but got security warnings from my internet security. The software also attempted to change my default browser. I decided to contact Nielsen about this the email they give in their welcome letter does not work (items are in the wrong order) I have attempted to call them always the same message unable to take your call. Finally found a correct email address but no reply. As a result I have deleted all their software sounds a very dubious site to me. If they cannot be contacted why would i trust them to have access to my computer. BEWARE
