We would like to take this opportunity to thank you, our panel members, for your dedication to the NCP 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 panel 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.
Hi NCP Panel Members,
I am the only one who receives a very low amount of points when playing Treasure Trove? The most I have received is 150 points! I’ve been a member for years now, and it’s the same every week. I report all my purchases weekly, and always have. I have never missed a week! It was the same when The Spin-To-Win was the way to receive extra points weekly. I feel it’s all rigged, and have wrote to NCP on many occassions. They continuously say that many panel members win the large amount of points. I would like to know what other panel members think?
Thank you,
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!
I’m not a good shopper u can forget bargain shopping,discounts,coupons and grocery list digital coupons I may not have my phone or I’ve forgotten to clip it’s a rewarding gesture if my mind is working and I two miss getting credit like shipt and Walmart I know I’ve linked and upon going to escan nothing has picked I shop for another person using their money cards is that why but it’s always my email address .And why is treasure trove not allowing me my credits Please look into this my next gift card is Uber I’m like 3 to 6000 points away and Thank You
Hi Kathy, please reach out to our Panel Support Center to ask about your credits from Treasure Trove. You can reach them at [email protected] or 1-800-962-6700. One of our reps will be able to look into this for you. Thanks!
I agree with some of the other comments on it takes forever to get a reward/gift card bc it’s a lot of points it’s taken me bout a yr to earn the points for it. I have other apps that I can get more rewards in that amt of time that don’t take no where near the amt of time I put in scanning every item some of them I don’t even have to do anything but install them & open it every now & then. Plus all the sweepstakes I always get entered but still have yet to win anything at all even on the seasonal ones like the spring one we just had. I never have been able to get even points in those so it just feels like we are doin a lot of work for very lil reward anymore. It all sounds good but after years of doin & still never winning it starts to sound like its not really possible after all. It gets to where you start wanting to focus more on other things that actually give you joy or something in return more frequently. It gets to be an awful lot at times. Not always worth it .
Hi Kara, thank you for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your panel membership and dedication and we’re sorry to hear you haven’t been happy with the experience. NCP asks for as much detail as possible about our panel members’ shopping experiences, including what they buy and why they buy it. As a premier market-research company, our clients look for as much detail as possible and, with the help of panel members like you, that’s the level of critical detail we can provide to them. In regards to our sweepstakes, our sweepstakes winners are randomly selected. Winners names are posted on the panel member website in the Sweepstakes section. We look forward to your continuing participation.
