But I did receive a piece of paper saying one I return the diary I would receive $50. I did the diary back in I think MAY and I still have to receive my $50. I have called aprox 6 times now to inquire on where my money is. 2 of thos call have been today and then 2 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago they had trouble finding my info and finaly found it and suposdly I was entered in under the radio diary for some reason and they made some kind of change and fowarded my info on and said I should be receiving a letter about my issue. today they had even a harder time finding my info. she said she fowarded my info in a e-mail and I should hear from someone soon. lets see if that is true as I was suposed to get a letter or something from my last call and 2 weeks later nothing. If they contact me again in the future I will tell them they have to pay me up front or I dont particpate and that I deserve more. I did this diary but never got any cash with it.

Next time they call to ask if you will fill out the Neilson booklet ask for more money...I got $30 last time and $20 the time before. Negotiate, girl, your time is worth more than $5! Oh Melanie,

You got ripped off. Next time they call to ask if you will fill out the Neilson booklet ask for more money…I got $30 last time and $20 the time before. Negotiate, girl, your time is worth more than $5!

Now I'm hearing all these others got $30.00! What's that about?? Oh well... they got lots of documentation on how much college girls loved Law & Order and the Golden Girls back then.

I must fix it. But I could make it to Nordstroms first, I don't think I have to make any left turns! ha! I just had to comment, because my blinker(left) does the SAME thing. I must fix it.

We had the fancy box hooked up to our TV. They hated me! I would turn cartoons on for the kids and leave it on the same channel for days at a time. The poor guy thought the thing was broken and came to hook up a new one! I told him no, I watched TV in the other room, that TV he hooked it up to was the kids TV and they only watched one or two channels! I think we got like $50/6 months plus some cheezy prizes. It was a pain but we dealt with it for over a year. Oh we were a Nielsen family! We had the fancy box hooked up to our TV. They hated me!

My husband works in the news business and I always complain when ratings come out because I have never gotten to fill one of those out, much less have known anyone that has! Good to see that they actually do send them out. I still don't understand how that can be very accurate! Anyway, enjoy being one of the chosen few! HA!

I've heard the same thing about UPS making only right turns. They claim their drivers can make faster deliveries, because they're not waiting at red lights!

When I received the Neilson ratings about 20 years ago, I think I got about a dollar for my participation back then. Wow, I guess the payment has gone up.
