Ipoints question

Does anyone else here collect ipoints. As I have a feeling that I am just about to go mad.

I have been saving my points towards a £50 amazon voucher for 1025 points. I have about 840 points at the moment. So checked this morning that they still have the Amazon vouchers and they did. Husband just signed up to them a few minutes ago and I was showing him what he can get for his points. As he was after Amazon vouchers as well to buy a new mobile phone and they are gone.

Did I imagine if for so many months. Oh I fizzing now as I had planned what I was going to spend it.

What where you saving for?

Yours

    Hi Calley, Ipoints dont actually send you Amazon vouchers. You have to choose what you want and then tell ipoints.
    You can only buy books at Amazon with your ipoints! http://www.ipoints.co.uk/redeem/redeem-free-books-films-music
    So unless you want to buy £50 worth of books, your best bet is to redeem them for high street store vouchers. http://www.ipoints.co.uk/redeem/redeem-free-flowers-vouchers-gifts

    Ummm, No you are wrong or should I say not a 100% correct they did send Amazon vouchers. I have found an archived version of the ipoints website and what you can redeemed the points on and here
    You can see three options for a £30/£50/£100 amazon voucher and it says clearly when you click the option for the amazon vouchers

    "Sent directly to the email address of your choice, this electronic gift certificate can be spent on anything on Amazon.co.uk"

    So I was not going mad and I am still fizzing as I was so close. And what makes it worse they where there up to 12.30 today.

    Been a member for over 5 years now and accumulated over 5000 points (and never touched a casino offer). Had numerous DVD's out of them and currently only need a dozen or so for a PSP.
  • Hi

    Yes it appears that the amazon deal has finished - it used to be under luxeries and gifts - I got a £30 voucher a couple of weeks back and was saving for another one -- I'll have to get high street vouchers instead.

    A quick way to accumulate points is to take out the casino offers. 100 ipoints is roughly worth £5 (510 points = £25 high street voucher), so I look for deals that offer at least twice the number of points as the spend - Poker Room is a good example - for $20 (about £12) you get 400 points (about £20). If you make sure you don't put anything else into the account then the minimum then it is fine and you can in effect get a £25 high street voucher for around £12 - £15.

    I have no idea I have been with them since 2001 and in total have racked up 1811 but have spent them on things like bubble bath and vouchers in the past.

    There is another forum called bobs freebies or something like that and they have section called making money on and off the internet and they tell you what the clicks are for the days. So you don't miss them.

    I only tend to do the daily clicks the polls and surveys so I am not sure how long I have been saving for to get the 840 points. I sure it is at least since the start of this year. So it has been a long time.
