    Still have no clue where my GFK codes are, do they usually get emailled straight to you? Or do I have to claim them onsite (I know I'm probably being really thick).

    Depends which part of GFK, but it is the What I buy surveys I think they are prize draws, and you the code is emailed automatically if you win.

    Can anyone give any tips as I plan to join the December thread (how hard will that be as its Xmas), I would like to think I can do GBP 10.00 per day. However have a few questions...

    1.. Do we only count the money once its in hand?
    2.. As a rule of thumb do we try and save all the funds until last day of month?
    3.. Any tips for a new starter, easy days to help bed me in and give me the incentive?
    I am in a pretty bad way and want to join as many of these money saving challenges as possible. However want to be realistic, as I know I would never achieve all of them.... or would I??

    Hi BamBam - you could always use the same money in each of the challenges you decide to do, its good to keep lots of ideas going but then if you choose too many you might not have enough time to actually make money :confused:
    1. Some count money when they have it in their hand/bank account. Others (me included) count money when it tracks (in cashback sites), when you get a voucher, that sort of thing
    2. Not quite sure what you mean on this one, can you explain?
    3. Have a read of post 1 for some ideas and, if you have time, the whole thread is full of ideas like free b!ingo, survey sites, mystery shopping, selling on Ebay/Amazon/Play.com/GreenMetropolis

    Hope thats of some help to you :D welcome to the group

    1) Up to you - but I count money that is in my paypal account, bank account and cash. Voucher I count on the day I spend them, if it is money I would have spent anyway.
    2) depends, if you have debts pay it off asap, or put it into savings,
    3) sign up to a bingo site, find everything in the house that is saleable, register for mystery shopping etc etc

    Its been the WISAD ones and says you get the reward for completing the surveys - saved the emails and just checked, nothing about it being a prize draw reward. I'll email them tomorrow to check but its been at least a week since I finished one for a £2 reward code, and a couple of days for a £5 one. Didnt say I'd not finished the survey but equally didnt confirm that they would be sending the code. Will be most annoyed if I havent qualified though, I seemed to be doing those particular ones for ages. :mad:

    :T Well it won't hit this month's target but it WILL hit the bank account which is the important thing - I've been rejigging phone, utilities etc - and have just requested back overpayments from BT of £225! I can't believe I was overpaying them so much but I am really, really glad that it'll be in my bank account within the next 7 days. So today I am a very happy girl, yay! I know I haven't strictly 'made' this £225 quid but hey, wanted to share the news somewhere :p
