I love it. The gifts that I have gotten for scanning make it worth scanning. I will continue to do it as long as I can, or they will let me. I have been scanning for over a year now. I love it.

Some of the stores were auto-programmed with the prices so all I had to do was scan and enter the quantity - those weren't so bad. But I shopped at more stores that didn't have the prices programmed, so I had to sit there with my receipt and find each thing as I scanned it and then enter the price - that was not very fun. I didn't stick with it long enough to earn enough points to get anything. It just wasn't worth it to me. But I'm sure for some, it's no problem!

It felt a little time consuming at times, but I don't think more than the CVS stuff you've done. I just signed up with a similar group...we'll see if/how I like it On the brighter side, Micah’s family did it and they didn’t have much of a problem with it.

If I'm presented with a scanner, I might just decline it now. Thanks for saving my time, y'all! Hmm…based on what you guys are telling me, I’m not so excited about this after all.

It was too much time every week and takes awhile to earn prizes. I agree with the other posts. It was too much time every week and takes awhile to earn prizes.

It was a bigger hassle than it was worth for me. I just was not dedicated to doing it. Everyone is different so maybe it will work for you. I feel the same as everyone else.

At first, it was fun to scan everything. But, once the novelty wore off, it became a hassle. It was a big time committment and with 2 small kids, I just couldn't do it any longer. Good luck with your try at it! Maybe you'll have better luck with it! I was a member for a short time as well. At first, it was fun to scan everything.

I have been doing it for a little over a month. It is a big time commitment for me and I am not so sure they rewards are worth it. I am giving it 6 months before I make a decision, but so far think it is more time than it's really worth. I am currently scanning all my stuff. I have been doing it for a little over a month.

I've done several online surveys and I've gotten paid sveral $8.00 checks and $3.00 checks. I feel sure that Neilsen will compensate fairly for our time. I'm excited about doing it. It sounds like it could be fun :-)! I signed up for this a few weeks ago and last week I got an email telling me that I am approved and they will be sending the scanner out soon.
