    Advantages Advantages Rewarded for doing Your Shopping

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be time consuming, online gift catalogue difficult to navigate.

    Imagine being rewarded for something most of us do at least once a week, I am of course, referring to shopping. Well this is what happens when you become a panel member of A C Nielson – Fact Finders. I received an email invitation from Toluna at the beginning of November 2008, and after answering a few questions on my shopping habits, family members etc.. I was informed that I had qualified should I wish to do so, to become a panel member for fact finders, which would involve scanning the items I bought on each shopping trip. An email arrived a couple of days later from A C Nielson asking me ... more

    Advantages Advantages Almost something for nothing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Adds about ten minutes to a shopping trip

    Well, there I was, with time on my hands and thinking I’ll write an op on something that’s not well documented. And what do I find, Moose has beaten me to it! Her excellent op gives a good idea of what Fact Finders is about, but there have been some changes of late and I think it’s worthwhile to let other Ciaoers know. What is it? Fact Finders is the name of an incentive scheme run by A.C. Nielsen, the well-known market intelligence gatherers. ‘Panel Members’ are recruited from each section of the community and from every geographical area of the UK. Like Moose I was recruited by post but you ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good range of gifts, superb support desk, get rewarded for something you do anyway, helpful info pack

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bit of a hassle scanning your shopping!

    Are you one of the masses that, every Friday night, trawl around the nearest supermarket. Do you dread that “bumper car” experience with your trolley, do you get annoyed when your partner/children stops to sniff/read/play with whatever it is that Asda/Tescos/Sainsburys/Safeway et al.. have strategically placed on their shelves? Well I have something that might just make your experience just a tad more bearable! How about if you were rewarded for your weekly trip to the supermarket? HOW DO YOU GET TO BE A REWARDED SHOPPER EXTRAORDINAIRE THEN? I belong to Fact Finders who are part of AC Nielsen ... more

    Advantages Advantages Loyalty rewards and entry into monthly competitions

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be a chore

    Admittedly I've always been a sucker for reward schemes and this is certainly one in it's true form, so when I heard about the idea I thought I'd give it a go. Fact Finders is a company who specialise in researching people's shopping habits for the benefit of market research. Presumably they then sell this information to supermarket chains for a large profit. And, being the kind people they obviously are, they like to share some of this profit with the people who make it all possible (mugs like me). How nice. When you become a member, Fact Finders send you a keypad with a built in barcode ... more

    Advantages Advantages Quick and easy to do. Good rewards.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Small problem with redeeming reward points on-line.

    I have been scanning my shopping with Fact Finders for over a year now and have had no problems. The setting up of the wand at each scanning session is a bit of a bore as you have to go through the when,who and where bit for each shop but apart from that I enjoy scanning. It does not take long. The wand is easy to use and when not in use sits hidden away on a bottom shelf - I put it there because several people thought it was a phone! The Customer Service department is excellent and regularly get in touch to remind you to scan your top-up shopping and if there are any surveys to do. When an ... more
