NCP

 

No, I didn't just put some random letters as the title of my post, those letters mean something. NCP stands for the National Consumer Panel. What is it? NCP is a program that requires you to scan your store purchases each week, then you transmit them to the company. Now wny on earth would you want to do that? Well you see, when you scan your weekly purchases, it helps the companies of these products determine if they have product placement correct, what products are selling and what aren't, which helps them make the decisions on which products need to be improved or created.


It sounds like a lot of work and what is the benefit? Well, with each transmission, you get points. They also have surveys on the site where you can get points for them. Now that you have accumulated points, the real fun starts. They have a huge gift catalog that you can trade points in for. So you did, not even that much work, got all those points, and now you will be getting a free gift? What's not to love?!?!

I recently traded in 37,500 points for a griddle, and I have to say, it works better than the one we bought at the store. I don't know if it's the brand or just because it was free, but it's fantastic!
Just check out this link NCP Registration, fill out the form and see if they are looking for someone in your area. Sometime you have to wait a while, but once you fill out the information they will send you an email when they are able to let you scan in your area. I have been part of NCP since December 2011 and I really enjoy it and I think you will too!
