Morning everyone... I've been up since 7 today. I've written my first review in ages as bf is asleep (still). Also, I have something that may help get a few extra pence if anyone is interested. I read a review on dooyoo which said that they had also posted the review on ciao. After reading this I signed up to ciao and have been cutting & pasting my reviews. It doesn't pay loads but it's still money and as I've already written it I figure I may as well.

I signed up to the Tesco clubcard yesterday too. There isn't a big Tesco near my boyfriends house so we usually go to Sainsbury's, but we went for a walk into Hove and they have a huge one there, so I decided I may as well get one as I've been getting petrol from Tesco lately. Anyway, I've been investingating and have found stuff like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1000-extra-tesco-green-clubcard-points-40-00-in-deals_W0QQitemZ280274502447QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item280274502447&_trkparms=72%3A1350|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 . I'm quite tempted to do it as I can't recyle my epson cartridges. I want some theatre tickets which you can get using the deals so I thought this might be a good idea to get them a lot cheaper... Has anyone else thought about/tried this before?

I have brought envelopes off eBay before,be careful on eBay there are a lot of scammers selling codes/vouchers for Tesco you can get for free.

Thanks lilmiss, I wouldn't buy voucher codes from ebay as I know most of them can be found for free (on here lol), but I think with something like cartridges it might be worth it. I've changed my mind and am considering (if I get the cartridges) spending the points on air miles as I can get 960 of those which sell for somewhere in the region of £100 on ebay, so even with ebay fees and the cost of the cartridges there would still be a profit in the region of £75.

Hi Nicki,
I saw on dooyoo that quite a few people post on ciao as well, i did look at it but i think i will go mad if i spend any more time on dooyoo let alone another one as well!!

Nichelette

I've just realised I'd get 720 not 960, was working on £40 of vouchers for some reason, obviously I'm going crazy... but either way, I still think there would be money in it .

lilmissmup

I don't think you can sell the airmiles on eBay, you have to give Tesco your airmiles accounts details and they automatically go on your account.

I've just read the small print and you're right. I'll have to see what else I can do with the points.

lilmissmup

Do you know if you have to put on your reviews if you paste it on Ciao too?
