Just tried & not connecting for me either. Early yesterday there were problems according to other posts, so will just have to wait & see. Hope they haven't gone bust because I requested a payment middle of March & it hasn't arrived yet.

Some are good and some are bad

I redeem a £10 Sainsbury voucher from Tuluna which helps with my food. I have managed to build up £80 of Amazon vouchers from Consumerpulse, Ipoints, and GFK.

I have redeemed £40 of Paypal points from Ipos and have a few more pounds accruing.

Sorry if this has already been asked but..
Do you or anyone else know if it is best to save up points on consumerpulse then redeem them all at once or one a day if there is some kind of limit? I can't find an answer (could be a wood for trees situation there tho!) I want to save up until I have enough to get about £100 in amazon vouchers but I'm worried if I redeem now the voucher would expire before I have enough IYSWIM?

Hi Sami_Bee, well I've been watching this thread since I asked the question and I haven't seen this one come up here!

I am prob not the best person to answer as I have only just joined consumer pulse (last month). I was planning on saving the vouchers up as £10 at Topshop wont get me very far...I always assume I have nothing until its in genuine vouchers my hand /spent, so personally, I'll just go on and on for the hell of it (am I one of the rare few that gets a kick out of doing the surveys? or is that just my ego...:rotfl: ) There is another thread called "I just joined comsumer pulse" which started not too long ago, could be worth asking on there, here is the thread:

If i remember correctly, you can save up the points and order the vouchers in one go, i think it states that orders over £80 quid need to be signed for.

I received an email of Lightspeed with a code for a £5 Amazon gift voucher for a survey I did for them (I can't remember which survey it was for as I'm sure I would have remembered if it was for £5). Anyway the upshot is, I was able to buy a book I had my eye on - great stuff. What I am wondering is - if you chose to redeem your points as Amazon vouchers is it as easy as it was with that gift voucher? If so, how long does it take them to send you the code after you have ordered it? Ta

if you redeem your points for amazon vouchers you'll receive the code in the same way you did for that survey so it's just as easy to redeem. Can take up to a month but is often quicker - I've had one the same day and others have taken a week or two to come through so I think they send them out in batches if that makes sense.

Hi
I have also had problems with the pure profile site the last couple of days, but have managed to reconnect using the referrers board on this site.
I just clicked on one of the links and low and behold got connected straight away.:j
