The Nielsen Homescan Consumer Panel has opened up again and is now taking NEW applications! You may be approved based on your zip code. The Home scan Consumer Panel is a “mini-U.S.A.”, representing millions of Americans. By scanning the bar codes on your purchases and completing fun surveys, you can make your opinions count in the consumer marketplace. Nielsen will send you a scanner to scan your products and in turn you received valuable gift points that are redeemable for electronics, household items, jewelry, toys and lots more!

Here’s a picture of what the newest scanners look like and what the box contains.   Even if they don’t have a spot available in your zip code now, one could open up at anytime – check to see if you can get on their waiting list- this is a hugely popular panel.
