Update: Nielsen/Net Ratings
Survey Ramblings July 22nd, 2008An email came the other day with an announcement about Nielsen/Net Ratings that I thought might be of interest to y’all (that would be “you guys” to all my northern friends 
) My issue with them has always been that they didn’t pay out in cash, as this has been a sweepstakes only site for years. Now they will be paying $5 for every quarter that you continue to participate with them ($20 a year).
There’s a world of possibilities to earn rewards
As a nielsen//NetRatings Panel member, your browsing and buying habits not only help influence the future of the internet, they can also influence how companies actually do business with you. To show you how much we value your participation, you’ll have an opportunity to earn all sorts of members-only rewards and prizes.
- Earn up to $20 annually for continued panel activity
- The chance to win over 1,500 instant prizes
- Entries into our $10,000 grand prize sweepstakes
Plus three additional ways to win:
- Tell one to six friends – get two instant rewards plays and four grand prize drawing entries
- Take a nielsen survey – get two instant reward plays and two grand prize drawing entries
- Remain active – get two instant rewards plays and two grand prize drawing entries every single month you send us data as a panelist
And if that’s not all, for every month of active participation via our panel software, you will be automatically granted more chances to win as well as more grand prize entries. You could say it pays traveling the world with nielsen. Win prizes from these outstanding retailers:

Apparently, they are responding to member requests for some sort of cash incentives. Click here to read my review from March about nielsen/Net Ratings.

I did not receive that email, I wonder why?

Sorry Heath! I can’t help you with this one. I returned my Nielsen scanner device when I realized that scanning every item I purchase for the rest of my life was almost like work. I was nearly swayed by the lovely plastic flashlight they sent me as a welcoming gift as I estimate its value to be nearly $2 American. I will try and post a pic on the forum before the batteries (included!) die completely and it becomes a plastic paperweight.

Dropped off of the panel, too. Asked for the “box” to return the scanner over six weeks ago and it has yet to arrive, however they sent a scathing email threatening to turn me over to a collection agency if it were not returned immediately! No box & FedEx label as promised from them = no ability to return scanner!
