Your Grocery Shopping Could Earn You Gift Cards
NATIONAL CONSUMER PANEL · FREE APPLICATION
Shop. Scan. Earn gift-card points.
You already do the shopping. Selected NCP households use NCPMobile to share purchase details and earn points toward digital gift cards through regular participation.
Check your email after applying. Complete any confirmation steps NCP sends. Selection is required; a waitlist may apply.
Turn your regular shopping routine into useful research. Instead of buying something extra for a reward, NCP asks selected households to report the purchases they already make. Your shopping information helps manufacturers and retailers understand what people buy.
How to apply and get started
- Open the NCP application above. Complete your own contact and household information accurately. Review the email-consent and privacy information.
- Check your inbox and spam/junk folder. Follow any confirmation or follow-up steps NCP sends. Submitting an application is not the same as being selected.
- If selected, follow NCP’s setup instructions. Eligible households receive access to NCPMobile on supported iOS or Android devices.
- Report your shopping and build points. Scan item barcodes, enter the requested trip details and send your shopping data at least weekly. Review your account’s reward balance and current gift-card requirements.
What do you actually do?
You scan purchased items and report details such as the store and prices. NCP also asks about non-barcoded purchases, so this is more than snapping a receipt photo. Surveys and occasional special studies can offer additional rewards.
The rewards are points toward digital gift cards. NCP lists options such as Amazon.com and Visa on its rewards page; the current catalog and required points control what you can redeem. There is no cash payment just for joining and no promised earning amount.
Is your household a fit?
NCP recruits in the contiguous U.S. and allows one unique membership per household. Selection depends on household demographics and location. Applying and membership are free; acceptance and reward timing are not guaranteed.
