Nielsen Homescan

That's funny! Mine just came in the mail today. I need to figure out how to install, hook it up and use it now. I am glad to know someone else who is doing it. Was it hard to install and all that? I had second thoughts about it the minute I signed up to do it. I was prepared to send it back without even trying it. Now I think I will give it a chance. I wonder how long it takes to qualify for a nice gift. I have been on the other Nielsen panel for a long time. I am also on a bunch of others. I like MySurvey the best because I have gotten on the list to do this one month long survey that pays 10 bucks. It comes up every 3 months.

I thought about joining that site but I didn't want to hold up the line at the grocery store while I scan my items. Can you scan them when you get home?

I have been a member for 7 years and have a great time with it,there are times I will forget to scan a purchase or buy stuff with no scan code,but I always send the info once a week and normaly get the super scanner points. I have recieved a camera that would have cost me over a hundred dollars at a store,and it took awhile to earn enough points,but as it is free,big bonus. I highly recommend it.

I don't do the homescan. I am doing a television research now that they sent me through the mail. And there was $5.00 included in the envelope. This isn't the first one I have done. Each time I get one I get the money up front. This is one I did earlier. The one I am doing now had 5 new crisp dollar bills in it.

My sister-in-law does this, and has been doing this for the last several months. She goes grocery shopping a couple times a week and when she comes home, scans everything before she puts it away. I know that you only get points for like one scan a month(or is it a week), right? But she scans each and every time. I didn't know that they have surveys too? I wonder if she does them. Do you get extra points for the surveys? I'll have to ask her about that.

Hi. I belong to the Homescan Panel and I like it a lot. Once you get int othe habit of scanning before puitting them away, it's very east. I do have the new scanner which works much easier. And transmitting is as easy as sitting in the base and pressing a button(of course it have to be hooked up to a phone jack). I have not redeemed points for anything yet...I have about 35,000 points now and I have been doing it for about 1 1/2 years. I like the fact that if you decide to quite scanning, pack everything back in the box it came in and put on the return address sticker that they provide for you in the beginning and send it back. No questions asked. I'm hoping to cash in for something real nice someday. Nadine

I do that with Shoppers Hotline. You accumlate points and then they send you a debit card which you can refill. My machine just broke though and I have to wait till they send me a new one so continue. Happy scanning!

Hello, I have been a member of that site for about 7 months. I too thought it would be hard to do it but after like 3 scans it was a piece of cake. The only down fall for me is that I sometimes forget to transfer the information to them. I have only forgot to do 3 times which is not to bad. I signed up when my mom told me that you can get some nice stuff so I thought why not. I will say that I was on a waiting list because at the time there was no available spots for my area. Then when I received the stuff to get started I was so excited. I love voicing my opinions and knowing that I am also voicing my opinions for other people is great. My mom on the other hand has been a member for about a good 10 years maybe and she has gotten a few prizes already. But I think she is now keeping her points for something big. Which is what I am doing, I'm not sure what I am going to get till that something pops up at me. Then I will know. Well good luck in the group and have fun earning. My over all experience with them is great and they are very active to when it comes to us needing answers. Happy Mylotting

We did this for a very short duration but experienced technical difficulties and could not get any help from the parent company at all. Our unit just quit working correctly one day and We could not even get a response from them.. No form of communication elicited a response. So we ultimately ended up sending the unit back. Sure was a great idea with potential, but with technical support, it was doomed. We never did earn anything or get any of the perks, but it also did not cost us anything out of pocket, either.

have a great day!!!! have fun!!
