What is the National Consumer Panel?

The National Consumer Panel (NCP) is a reputable, long‑running research program where you scan your shopping to supply anonymized consumer data. In exchange, you earn rewards, vote in surveys, and even enter sweepstakes, all while helping shape future products and marketing.

The fine print:

Bottom line cost: There's no cost to sign up.

What happens after I sign up? Once you sign up, NCP reviews your information, and if your household is a match and there's an opening on the panel, you'll be contacted. If you're selected, you'll be given an exclusive NCPMobile scanner app to complete your panel responsibilities.

How will I get rewards? Once you're accepted into the National Consumer Panel, you'll earn points by scanning your purchases each week using the app and occasionally completing surveys. Staying active and consistent can unlock bonus points, including anniversary and birthday rewards. You can redeem your points for digital gift cards to popular retailers like Amazon, Visa, and Target, or choose items from NCP’s merchandise catalog. Participants are also entered into regular sweepstakes with cash prizes up to $5,000.

Do I need to cancel?

You don't have to cancel because you don't need to provide any payment information. If you're selected to be on the panel and you choose not to participate anymore, you can go here to unsubscribe from the emails. Note: This may impact your ability to participate in the panel in the future.
