So, I had read somewhere on-line about the National Consumer Panel (NCP) which, if you qualify, sends you a free scanner to use for scanning your groceries barcodes when you buy them. I thought you got money back, or at least significant "rewards" prizes so I signed up, qualified, and got my free scanner in the mail.
Turns out, as far as I can tell from reading on-line, you don't get money back but can save for rewards--most reviews say it takes years to get anything significant. I liked the program because they send you the scanner and you don't have to rely on a moblie device of your own (I don't pay for internet on my phone and its a nokia/windows, so doesnt work with a lot of apps). OTOH, I'm not thrilled about scanning all my purchases in and only would do so if it were worth it!
I am trying to decide if I want to try it or just send it back and forget about it. They give you pre-printed address labels and I can just stick it on the box and send it back.
Anyone have any experience with this prorgram?
