This is a great way to earn points redeemable for gifts. You're sent a barcode scanner and you scan every thing you buy. You can an item, enter how many you've purchased, the price you paid, at the end you enter the total amount spent on that shopping trip. If you shop at store like Jewel, and use their preferred card, then you don't have to enter the prices.

Each week you transmit your data back to AC Nielson, and you earn points, each week, if you transmit. Your point level is determined by how long you've been with them. Right now, I get 225 points for every week that I transmit data.

There are also surveys (very short ones) where you can earn anywhere from 200 to 300 points.

When you're ready to redeem your points for merchandise - they have a great selection. I'm letting my points grow and grow.

If you're interested, go to www.homescan.com and sign up. You may not be automatically selected, but they may put you on the waiting list based on your demographic information.

I am loving it so far...had a little trouble with the scanner scanning, but that was all me lol. "Have to scan like lighting a match" and waaaala it worked. Now I keep asking my husband if he is done with the receipt yet lol. "Why" he asks..."I have to scan baby". Love the gift book too. so many goodies! I did have a question, but can't think of it right now...I will ask you when I think of it :)

I love being involved with this. I try to scan everything I buy, but sometimes when you buy just a candy bar, you either forget the receipt or you hurry and eat it and throw the wrapper away. I do try to be very diligent, but sometimes I miss something. So far, I've got over 84,000 points, I'm just going to let them build and get something really nice with them. What's also great about this site -- every so often, you will be asked to complete a survey (usually less than 5 minutes) and you'll get anywhere from 150 to 300 points!!!!
