ive heard of this... id love to hear of some ppl's actual experience with the program!

[canuck202]

i try and for me it is a waste of time.........

[ontgal33]

I started almost a year ago, i do do it regularly and i don't mind it. I do wish that the rewards had lower point requirements as it does take sometime to collect them, i am only at 9200 and rewards are well into the double digits. But i have not had any problems with it.

[canuck202]

nielson is a good company but for me you have to work too much for the reward you will get.....

[elliott_gyal]

has anyone redeeemed for any rewards yet?

[ridman]

Hard to get pts and redeem? reminds me of my experience with Superpoints - Might check this site out! Thanks

You do earn more points per week over time, i started with 150 and now i earn 200 points per week, plus the extra bonus points. I love doing it, and i do big grocery shops, i go to Costco as well once a month. You also earn points doing surveys.

i tried it. i ended up using it maybe 5 times. i told them i wanted to return in it and they called me incessantly for over a month, even after i sent it back, basically threatening me. I avoided the calls until it got too much and I ended up giving them a piece of my mind about their employees. Definitely not worth the hassle

thank you for posting. i just found this on the web and decided i should see what other peoples' experiences with it were, i think its too much of a hassle for me, with a newborn, 3 year old and puppy, groceries get thrown into the cupboards when we get home. lol i dont need something slowing me down, and im not 100 percent sure ill be using it enough to earn very many points, and i dont need more ppl calling me and wasting my time on the phone. thank you everyone for your input! i <3 sc!!

Mine is a waste of time. I'm sending it back...the transmissions never go through and it isn't worth the bother to even try to get it working right. I had high hopes but unless I find out I've got lots of points (doubtful) it's as good as gone.
