Melissas Bargains

Nielsen National Consumer Panel is currently accepting new applicants! These opportunities only come along once in awhile and they typically fill their openings very quickly!

Here’s how it works:

They send you a hand-held scanner in the mail and the you use it to scan the bar codes on the items you purchase. Once a week, you submit your purchase information to them.

You earn points for submitting your information which can then be exchanged for prizes including electronics equipment, jewelry, household items, and more! Plus, you’ll be entered into a sweepstakes to earn CASH!  You will also receive surveys by e-mail.

There are no minimum requirements for weekly purchases and sign-up is free! Sign up here to see if you qualify while spaces are still available! You’ll have to complete a short questionnaire (it took me less than 5 minutes) and they will e-mail you if you qualify! I have also heard that even if you’re not accepted into the scanner program, they will sometimes send you surveys and other opportunities along with cash reimbursement!

I just got my scanner in the mail a few days ago. Here’s what it looks like:

I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but once I do, I’ll definitely give you more details! Let me know if you get accepted! If anyone has any person experiences about Nielsen, I’d love to hear those, too!

Apparently, once you’re “in” they also send you freebies!  I got this re-usable shopping bag from them in the mail yesterday.  It folds up and snaps shut, too.  Awesome!
