I wanted to address a few questions we’ve had about the Nielsen Homescan Freebies / National Consumer Panel. NOTE: The program is TOTALLY FREE! You do not pay anything for the scanner. They pay you in prizes for scanning your groceries. You do not pay them. I have personally been a member of this free program for 8+ months.
- You will need to sign up to see if they are accepting people in your area. They do not have openings in all areas right now. You can use the links above to see if there is an opening where you live.
- National Consumer Panel is the new name for Nielsen Homescan. They are the same thing, just a new name!
- If you try signing up and you get a message that you are on the waiting list, YOU SHOULD EVENTUALLY GET A SCANNER. When will you get a scanner? It may take months or more depending on where you live.
- If you are on the waiting list, but have not received any emails from Nielsen / National Consumer Panel, try signing up again with a NEW email address.
- Again, the program is totally free! You do not pay anything for the scanner. They pay YOU in prizes.
- If you decide the program isn’t for you or want to quit at any time, you can return the scanner free of charge. They pay postage at all times, including the return of the scanner!
i’ve signed up before, and never heard a word from them, but i’ll try again.
BTW, your links are not working in the post.
I got an invite to fill out their shopping survey after being on the waiting list for about 2 months. But I kind of forgot about it and just missed the April 30th deadline for the survey!
Do you have any suggestions on what I should do? Should I try again with a different e-mail address? There was a fast food survey available for me, but not the original shopping survey they had e-mailed me about. 🙁

You can try with a different email address, but once the survey has ended, it may no longer be available.
They are working okay for me right now, but if the sign up links in the post aren’t working for you, try this sign up link
