Find out how to earn great rewards with National Consumer Panel!

I have been a National Consumer Panel Homescan panelist for over 4 years. Normally there is a waiting list to get the chance to be a panelist. However, right now I have permission from NCP to invite my family and friends to become panelists.

Being a NCP panelist provides you with the opportunity to earn points on an ongoing basis towards fabulous merchandise, including items for around the house, gift cards, music, charitable donations, and much more. Last year, I upgraded my paper shredder using my points.

Here’s how you earn points:

  • You get 1,000 points just for signing up!
  • They send you a scanner that you use to scan items that you buy. Don’t worry– you can do it after you come home and not while at the store. 
  • You transmit the scanner once a week using your computer
  • You complete online surveys
  • You participate in specialty panels and activities from time to time when invited
  • You may receive bonus gift points for your NCP anniversaries
  • If you transmit your scanner on a regular basis without missing weeks, you may be eligible for bonus Super Scanner points

This panel is easy to incorporate into your lifestyle, as it only takes a few minutes per week and the rewards are significant. In fact, openings in the panel are rare, since you can participate for as long as you would like to.  Many members have been involved for much longer than I have!

This may be a limited time offer, so hurry to sign up to become a member using this exclusive link:

How Bad Habits are Costing Your Wallet and Your Health

By Kelsey Libert of eBay Deals Blog

Have you noticed how a bad habit can build on itself? Maybe you started smoking an occasional cigarette a few years ago and then yesterday you realized you’re a pack a day smoker. Maybe a single soda was enough to pick you up back in the day but now you’re downing Diet Coke like there’s no tomorrow – or at least, no tomorrow with Diet Coke in it.

Vices are vices because they are hard to control. If you’re seeing yourself at the beginning of a downward spiral, take the reins back and get your spending habits back in check.

Make a list of all the positives from quitting your vice and keep it near you always so you can refer back to it when you’re tempted. Figure out every use case for your habit- every situation where you rely on it to cheer you up- and find a better replacement habit. You can write these down too, but eventually you’ll know them by heart.

Smoking break? Get outside and take the same walk- but focus on the fresh air. Soda to keep you feeling sluggish? Pick another drink or treat to enjoy that won’t be so harsh on your dental health and wallet. You already know all these things, but the brain can be tricky and rationalize habits when it’s jonesing for a vice. Plan ahead for your rationalizations.

Cost of Vices eBay

Lastly, figuring out the true cost of bad habits can be the jolt you need to change. Take the cost of your vices quiz by the eBay Deals team to find out what your vice is really costing you every year.

Write down the number on a sticky note and put it somewhere you’ll see it daily. Come up with a gift for yourself at the end of the year to match those saved dollars. It will be a fun reward, but the best part will be the positive changes you’re making for your health, your finances and your future.
