AC Nielsen Fact Finders

Advantages: Quick and easy to do. Good rewards.
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 electrical storm killed my scanner there was a replacement within a couple of days and the old scanner was returned to Fact Finders where they managed to retrieve the data. I have not had any problems with the phone ringing in the middle...

Some Random Facts

Advantages: ----
Disadvantages: ----

...These facts are all genuine and most of them may disturb you (mainly number 10.) (1) You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching tv. This is a weird one and unfortunatly i've got nothing to write about it because i don't know much about it so i'd just thought i'd stick it in to show you. (2) Licking a toilet seat is more hygenic than biting your nails. This will probably put people off biting your nails if you do! How this works is that all the bacteria and germs and crap builds up under your nails and that stuff contains viruses and diseases that you get from things like door handles. Think about it ~ you sneeze into your hand and all the germs stay on it, then you open a door or something and the germs stay on the door handle. Then the next person that opens that door gets your germs. (3) When flying, you are more...

...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 to complete another short survey , mainly to confirm the details I had previously given, plus the names and addresses of the Supermarkets I frequented most. I was also asked to supply a landline number as a member of their customer service team...

Fun Filled Facts

Advantages: You might learn something
Disadvantages: You might know them all already

...Being a lover of stupid facts and pointless trivia I just had to do another top 10 when I seen this category. 'Knowledge', someone told me, 'is the key to power'. But after reading these I didn't feel the power so I think they are dud. That or there the wrong sort of knowledge. I'll leave it up to you to figure it out. So without further ado, we shall start with a shocking fact: The first ever couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV where none other than Fred and Wilma Flintstone. I bet your didn't see that one coming? The kiss that is given by the bride to the groom at the end of the wedding ceremony originates from the earliest times when the couple would actually make love for the first time under the eyes of half the village! The White House, in Washington DC, was originally grey, the colour of the sandstone...
