Join the NielsenIQ Homescan shopping panel. You earn points for scanning your shopping each week which can then be swapped for products.
We signed up to NielsenIQ Homescan market research panel ages back to test out how it works.
The market research panel earns you points for scanning your shopping each week.
You can either use their free mobile app or a small bar code scanner (which they send you for free), you simply scan in what you’ve been buying.
All points earned can then be swapped for a huge catalogue of products, gifts and experience days.
Nielsen doesn’t allow everyone to join and is looking for certain size households from over the country. If you’re not successful today, then it’s worth trying again in a month or so as the panel members Nielsen look to recruit change all the time.
What’s the reward?
You’re sent a free bar code scanner, or can choose to use a mobile Scanning App, and each week the shopping data you’ve scanned is sent in automatically. All the data is anonymous.
You earn points on a weekly basis and can even earn extra bonuses for scanning your shopping regularly. Plus, they send out short surveys via email (they take around a minute!) from time to time and reward you with more bonus points too.
The points start to add up and you can exchange them in the reward centre.
There are so many different kinds of gift available including electronic equipment, household items, jewellery, toys, experiences and more!
Plus, every 4 weeks, your membership number is automatically entered into a new prize draw for your chance to win amazing prizes from holidays, experiences, latest gadgets and once a year a brand new car.

I use an app called Storewards. You take a photo of your receipt for points. Points then get redeemed in virtual vouchers for PayPal or Ebay .
I’ve just redeemed 100.000. Points for £10 on eBay.
It’s something for nothing
