It’s back again, you better sign up quick, because these go FAST!! I have never had the opportunity to participate in this program because they never need members in my area. I will say it is said to be a little work, but many participants say the benefits are wonderful, lots of free stuff!!
Have you heard of the Nielsen Homescan Consumer Panel?
As a Nielsen panel member, Homescan will provide you with a FREE hand-held scanner. Every time you or members of your household shop, you’ll use the scanner to scan the barcodes on all of your purchases. Then, once a week, you’ll send them your purchase information.
What’s in it for you?
You’ll earn gift points for scanning products. The gift points will be redeemable for name-brand merchandise, including electronics equipment, jewelry, household items, toys, and much more! You’ll also earn entries into sweepstakes!
Interested in becoming a Homescan Panelist?
Just go here and fill out the form! Please be aware that certain Zip codes are excluded (I’m not sure which ones), so you may or may not qualify. It worth a shot to see, though! (Unfortunately, my zip code didn’t need anyone, rats!)
Do I have any readers currently in the program that would like to share their perspectives?
I signed up months ago and I just got a call. I live in Murfreesboro TN and they asked me to participate. It sounds like fun and you earn prizes for your “work”. I will receive my scanner in a few weeks.

I got my scanner about 2 months ago! It’s great. I haven’t used the points to get any rewards yet, but I am excited to possibly use the rewards to get Christmas presents at the end of the year.
I found out about the program here. THANKS!

I just received my scanner a few days ago. Using the scanner seems pretty easy. My kids think it is the coolest thing. And, yes, I too will be planning on using my points for Christmas (fingers crossed). Maybe I will win one of their awesome prizes as well.
I received my scanner a few days ago as well. I signed up a few months ago. I have made small purchases using coupons and not using coupons. It does take extra time to scan, especially when you have coupons, but the rewards I have seen on the website seem to be worth it! I am looking forward to racking up the points and shopping for free all because of my regular shopping!
