What Is NCP and Why Is Everyone Joining?

The National Consumer Panel (NCP) is a research program run jointly by Nielsen and IRI — the two biggest names in consumer data. Brands like Procter & Gamble, Unilever, and Kraft pay millions to understand what real families are buying. NCP collects that data from real shoppers and pays those shoppers in gift cards.

You get the free NCPMobile app. After each shopping trip, you scan the barcodes on what you bought. You transmit the data once a week. That’s it. Your points pile up and you redeem them for real digital gift cards — Amazon, Walmart, Target, and more — delivered straight to your email.

This is not a survey site. You don’t fill out questionnaires for hours. You just scan what you already bought and get paid for it. It takes 5–10 minutes a week. Members who’ve been doing it for years have earned hundreds of dollars in gift cards without changing a single shopping habit.

Here’s Exactly What You Earn

Every weekly transmission earns you points. Points = real gift cards. Here’s the full reward lineup:
