I received a message from toluna stating "As an opinionated consumer we’d like to invite you to join an exclusive research group on behalf of AC Nielsen.

AC Nielsen will send you a scanner in order to beep everything you buy each week. They will then call you directly on a weekly basis to gather further information regarding your shopping habits."

Has anyone else received the email?Will you be signing up?

    Looking at the website it doesn't seem that you will get paid, you'll just get entries into a prize draw

    "A different prize draw is held every 4 weeks. Prizes have included: DVD players, hand-held TVs, touch screen organisers, personal stereos, i-pods, and other great prizes.
    As an I-Scan Panel Member, you will receive a separate entry into each prize draw for every week you transmit your data. So, if you transmit your data every week for 4 weeks running, you will be entered into the prize draw 4
    times" from here
    2008: £783.12 - 2009: £6,401.15 - 2010: £4,230.61 - 2011: £8720 - 2012: £2,041.89
    2013: £134.96

    The prize draw is a bonus
    http://iscan.acnielsen.co.uk/aboutiscan.asp

    "For every week you transmit your scanned data, you will earn transmission points.
    These can then be saved and exchanged for items featured in our 'Gift List'.
    You will also receive bonus points after your first successful data transmission, and further points after
    you have transmitted 5 weeks with data".
