  • I have a question

    I do surveys, well I did I haven't done any for ages and I have 9.22 in my ciao account and not enough points for anything in lightspeed and toluna

    If I get enough to convert to paypal/amazon vouchers/actual cash can I count all of it for the challenge or just the bits I got since the 15th?

    these things worry me!

    Thanks Mickey - was hoping for an Xmas challenge! Will give Bronze a go and see how I get on! Not quite as long to raise the money as for the Olympic Challenge, but I'll see how I get on!

    Many thanks.

    Hi everyone,

    Would love to join the challenge and will aim for Bronze please. This money would be very useful towards Christmas I think!

    Good luck everyone :D

    I would count the whole amount for the challenge:D Things like quidco/ lightspeed I count (the whole amount i have been paid out during the challenge) when it hits my bank account . Pigsback I count when I get the voucher and have spent it. No need to worry about a thing as it is a very friendly challenge and we are all supporting each other:D

    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
