We would like to take this opportunity to thank you, our panel members, for your dedication to the panel. Your opinions really do make a difference. We wish everyone all the best in the new year!
A new year offers the opportunity to start fresh and do all you can to get the most out of your NCP membership…and earn the most reward points!
Here are some tips:
- Scan all purchases from all types of stores.
- Send NCP your shopping information every week.
- Scan UPC-barcoded items and report non-barcoded items using the Non-Barcoded Items list in the app or the Barcode Reference Booklet if you use a handheld scanner (NOTE: If you switched from using the scanner to using the app, please don’t use the booklet anymore).
- Participate in special NCP promotions and games.
- Answer all the surveys you receive.
By doing these on a consistent, weekly basis, your reward points will add up quickly!

The NCP Calendar Year does not follow a typical calendar year. The calendar dates are noted in NCP’s Sweepstakes Official Rules, as well as on NCP’s Sweepstakes Entry Tracker. Both can be found on the panel member website in the “Rewards” section.
*To earn entries, NCP must receive data from you at least once during an NCP week, which runs Sunday 12:01 a.m. ET through Saturday 12:00 midnight ET. Go to the “Rewards” section of the website for the NCP Sweepstakes Official Rules and to print the NCP Sweepstakes Entry Tracking Calendar to keep track of your entries. Sweepstakes winners will also be posted on the website.
What is NCP Panel Membership
NCP panel members receive access to our exclusive NCPMobile app to scan barcodes on items they purchase and provide additional shopping information. This data is both valuable and crucial to product manufacturers and retailers looking to ensure the products you want and love are readily available.
For example, companies want to know what flavors are sold in certain areas of the country so they can better manage inventory. They want to know which items sell only when they’re on sale, vs. which items are purchased regardless of the price. It’s also helpful to know which items typically sell together, such as hot dogs and buns, so retailers can create promotions.
Each week you participate, you earn reward points that can be redeemed for gift cards and a wide variety of merchandise. You’ll also receive additional rewards and incentives for taking part in surveys, special programs, and in-app games. The more you participate the more you earn!

I would have to agree with this commenter. I also provide data and surveys for a couple other sites and earn easily twice as much in one month what it takes four months to earn here.
I feel like it’s a lot of work for very little reward. There’s a little sweepstakes here and there but I’ve been doing this for years and never won anything. You have to save a tremendous amount of points to even get a measly $25 gift card. I feel like the company is benefiting a lot more than us.
How to do the service and scan and everyone of my shopping trips with that I started to realize how much work it took to even get a 10 or $25 gift card you can do months if not a year work and not receive enough points to get a gift card. That’s why this is not become a priority in my life anymore. I do it when I can or when I remember I don’t make it a point to check it every week.
I agree it would ve way easier to scan a receipt I just caint keep doing the scanning of all my items I buy alot and don’t get credit due to u have to scan everything
Hi Brittany, we realize other sites allow you to scan receipts. However, some receipts only provide a description of a product, not the actual UPC barcode. When you scan each individual item, the barcode provides NCP with more detailed information than a receipt would, such as color, flavor, size, etc.
This higher level of purchase information allows manufacturers and retails to make more accurate marketing and production decisions, and they rely on NCP and its panel members to provide this level of detail. We appreciate your feedback!
