Nielsen Home Scan is accepting a limited number of new applicants for their Homescan program HERE. Plus a land line is NO longer required! So you don’t have to have a home phone for this program. Yay! Be sure to apply now if you are interested.
If you are accepted, you are provided with a hand held scanner that you use to record your purchases. You then transmit your purchases once a week by phone, it can be fun for kids to help out too!
You can also get a ton of points just for doing the on-line surveys. They really help boost your totals a great deal and the surveys are very short. The longer you are part of the program the more points you’ll get for every activity and the more points you earn when you transmit.
For each week of the month you scan, you will earn one entry into their Monthly Sweepstakes where you can win a $500 American Express Rewards Card. Every month, 25 panel members win! Plus for each week you’ll also earn one entry into their Grand Prix Sweepstakes where you can win $20,000! Every quarter one lucky panel member wins! That would be nice. 😉
There can be sometimes be a waiting period to be accepted, so don’t be discouraged if you aren’t accepted right away. You can apply HERE. Good Luck

Last time this was open, I applied….then forgot about it….UNTIL I heard from them! I qualified. They asked me a bunch of information about my internet connection, the computers I use, and the smart phones my family has. I didn’t believe it was real- until I actually received the scanner in the mail!
My family and I have been using this for less than 2 months. I won’t lie- at this point, it is still a “chore.” It is more time consuming and difficult than most say it is- but I do believe this is because I am such an avid couponer, and you have to enter all the details on your “deals” into the scanner to reflect the accurate price for EACH item. It’s also still new to us, so it isn’t “second nature.” I know it will get easier & I love the fact that what I am purchasing speaks for thousands of people and helps to determine what stays on the shelves and what doesn’t. You can always return the scanner at any time if you decide it is too cumbersome.
