I've been on this website for a while now and taken lots of peoples advice for saving money, making money and generally being a bit sharper with my spending habits..;)

Decided to dedicate myself to a free Christmas 2008.

with a little help from cashback sites, tescos clubcard surveys and mystery shopping.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Heres my current FREE MONEY making on the net.

My Valued Opinions £12.75
One Poll £4.65
Pure profile £0.80
You gov £1.50
Its your view £13.00
Harris polls online £1.80

Home of research 900 points
Toluna 4000 points
lightspeed 485
Global test market 509
i points 2190

Quidco £156.00
Moneybackmadness £23.87
Topcashback £3.80
my shopping rewards £15.23
R points £8.90

Tesco clubpoints 541 this month

Don't think i'll ever be a millionaire lol.:p
but if it pays for Xmas all well and good.:D

Just signed up for

Retail eyes
grassroots
my search funds
GAP

so will do a tally and see how much and who is worth my time...

At the moment my grand total is £242.00 in cash, not including points to be cashed
not bad to start eh...

and £1.88 in my search funds who i have been using two weeks...

Like to hear from anyone using other companies/surveys who pay without problems and if you have used any above in past and found them to be pretty worthless. The benefit of previous users is vital.;)

Mystery shopping will be a new experience for me and i'm watching the threads with lots of interest so a big thank you to all those who are happy to share their experiences.:T

No cashing out til November is my only rule...;)

    I'm trying for a free Christmas too :D

    My total so far is £194.46

    I use -

    OnlineOpinions
    It's Your View
    Boots Points
    Pure Profile
    You Gov
    One Poll
    Archerfish
    Coffeeclicking
    Liberty Cash
    Sterling Mails
    Toluna
    Lightspeed
    Pigsback
    Tesco Clubcard

    Once I've reached the payout limits for It's Your View, OnlineOpinions and YouGov, I'll give them up because there's hardly ever any surveys from them.

    I earn Clubcard points through Eon, not through spending at Tesco. I have no idea why I'm saving them really, I hate Tesco and having the vouchers means I'm going to have to actually walk into the place to be able to spend them :rolleyes: :D

    last Xmas my two daughters had left home, one was in NZ, the other expecting a baby (now a lovely grandson) I decided it was time to scale back on Xmas, and decided to make small gifts for my family. I knitted little presents using wool in my stash. I was very pleased to manage it. This year I hope to be able to make slightly larger gifts, but I'm going to try and get the wool from freecycle or in jumble sales for very little, with money I get for free

    You could exchange them for Tesco Deal voucher thingys - you get 4 times their value to spend on loads of different stuff. I'm sure there's info about it on this site somewhere (not sure where cos I'm quite new!).

    I'm going to try some of the survey sites you use so thanks for the tip!

    Hey nice to see your replies, definitely listen to Pippi above, check out the clubcard deals so much better than spending in tescos I've had three gorgeous meals at La tasca this year but have seen some people paying for summer hols or winter breaks with theirs....:confused: So thats my next research, nice to get other peoples views on surveys etc...
    I feel the same about my view but they are worth doing when they come throu just need to be more regular..

    I had a look at the clubcard deals the other day, I don't want any of them. Not that I'm fussy or anything :rolleyes: :D When it's time to spend the vouchers, I'll take a deep breath and walk into Tesco. I'll keep reminding myself of how satisfied I'll feel, knowing that I've got stuff for free :D
