How to Find My National Consumer Panel Number

The National Consumer Panel collects data from products you buy.

The National Consumer Panel (NCP) consists of people throughout the United States from all demographics who uses barcode scanners to scan their purchases. The information is recorded in the NCP database, and then passed along to retailers and manufacturers. Panelists must also complete a weekly survey, after which they are rewarded with gift points redeemable for name brand merchandise. If you are an NCP member, you must log into the website weekly with your panelist ID number to complete your surveys. If you lost your panelist ID number, you can retrieve the number without much effort.

Instructions

1. Retrieve the box that your scanner arrived in and locate the label on the top of the box. Locate your NCP number on the label.

2. Retrieve the instructions that accompanied your scanner in the "Welcome" packet. Follow the instructions for retrieving your panelist ID number from your scanner. The NCP does not send the same model scanner to its entire panel. The instructions included in your welcome packet are specific for your scanner.

3. Contact the NCP customer service department at 1-800-962-6700 and follow the prompts to speak with a representative. Inform the representative of your intent to obtain your panelist ID number. Provide the representative with the information requested of you and wait for her to provide you with your panelist ID number. Write the number down for safekeeping.

Tips & Warnings

• Click the "Remember Me" box when you log into the NCP website. This will automatically fill in your panelist ID and password every time you log in from the same computer.
