    Good luck, hopefully you'll get a decent amount for them :). I want to get up to 3000 points pending on dooyoo, then I'll probably go to bed or something... If I can make 3000 points every day it will take me less than 3 months to get my TV when I include the other places I can get Amazon vouchers from!
