Homescan Review

I learned about Homescan on Viewpoints and while reading the reviews I thought I would give it a try and signed up.  I am very pleased.

 Homescan is a Nielsen's consumer panel program that helps make your voice heard in the market world.  All you do is scan the products you normally purchase with the nifty scanner they send you (see pictures), put in the store you shopped at and purchase price for each product and when you are complete you are also entering if you used a savings card or what knots (the scanner asks the questions), after that just transmit once a week and watch the points build up to use for the selection of great gifts they offer.  I was surprised at what I can get.  Computer items, kitchen items, stuff for the kids, home, camping etc...I ordered my first gift and it said I would be waiting 4 to 6 weeks.  It came in three days.

Some of the point amounts needed for some of the products I thought at first would take me forever to save up for, but I forgot about the surveys you can take and also receive points and just for joining up you receive 1000 points you get more points on your anniversary date too.

 Note: Some areas of the US do have a waiting list, but for me I waited for about three weeks and if you have questions, they send you all the info in the welcome packet filled with info and beyond and they are more then happy to take you questions via computer or phone (They were very helpful and friendly).  The scanner comes in a separate box (save the box and return address shipping label if you wish to cancel).

Tip: When scanning for the first time, swipe the scanner like you would lite a wooden match (oh that tip helped me a lot when I read it, I was a scanning demon).

Scan your products, transmit once a week (very easy) and rack up the points for cool gifts, what more could you ask for, plus your helping the marketers. (kids like to help scan too).
