National Consumer Panel vs Survey Junkie

If you buy a lot of groceries and don't mind taking the time to scan them, National Consumer Program is a great way to earn a variety of rewards as well as sweepstakes entries. There's really no reason not to give this one a try. Might as well get paid for things you already buy, right?

If you stay diligent about scanning the products you buy, you will be eligible to rack up some great merchandise. It's also worth noting, that if you find NCP isn't for you, a prepaid shipping label is provided for you to send your scanner back. As of December 2015, you can now use their app which performs the same function as the scanner which eliminates the hassle of shipping if you change your mind.

With over 3 million members, Survey Junkie is no doubt popular, but they've had a bumpy road to get there. Because the company does not conduct surveys on their own accord, they are often at the mercy of 3rd parties which had previously not been reliable in terms of payment. This was a major complaint by members that led to many in the paid survey community to label the operation a scam.

Today, this is not the case. Survey Junkie is 100% legit and has weeded out the bad apples in the bunch and streamlined their site to ensure easy access to paying surveys and reward redemption. The modern layout is ideal for all mobile devices as well as desktops.

Essentially, Survey Junkie uses your basic information to match you up with paid surveys from a myriad of market research firms. This program is certainly worth a try, but if you find yourself getting disqualified too often, you may want to look for greener pastures.
