I posted earlier about a what to earn some money, doing what you already do. Well, with the holidays coming, here’s another idea. Join Nielsen Home Scan Consumer Panel – Earn valuable points, which are redeemable for electronics, household items, jewelry, toy, gift cards, and more.(no landline required with this homescan signup)

Once you become a NCP panel member all you have to do is scan and send them your household purchase information every week with a handheld scanner that they provide. For each week of the month NCP receives your purchase information, you will earn one entry into the Monthly Sweepstakes where you can win a $500 American Express Rewards Card. That’€™s up to FOUR entries every month. Every month, 25 panel members win.

That’€™s not all. Every quarter an additional 40 panel members win a $500 American Express Rewards card just by sending purchase information in every week of a month. This isn’t much extra work. You simply do what you do, buy what you buy, as a family. Then just scan it with the scanner that you are provided. And, think about it–by expressing your opinions and sharing what you buy, you are shaping what is sold.

Once you become a NCP panel member all you have to do is scan and send them your household purchase information every week with a handheld scanner that they provide. For each week in a qualifying quarter NCP receives your purchase information you will earn one entry into their Grand Prix Sweepstakes where you can win $20,000. Every quarter one lucky panel member wins.
