My Debt Diary

Verbatim

Hiya James,

I'm glad the Egg payment came out OK and well done on looking at under £10k by the end of Sep. :beer:

I'm hoping to be there in Oct or Nov too. :j

I've got a difficult month coming up in Nov tho' with everything coming out for the car, tax, insurance and MOT. :mad:

James - glad you have joined Quidco - it can make you serious money!

Pigsback is great too although less money - you can see the Pigsback thread in the Freebies board (no spend required). Lots of kind folks provide answers to Pigsback competitions and the links to competitions - so all you have to do is click & earn points / try to win a competition! With all the work cut out, it's a fantastic thread.

I am saving up my points plus I won a competition last week - have 1,720 points at the mo (I'd already cashed in 1,400 points before for 2 free trips to the cinema). I'll be saving the points all up for Xmas and then redeem for vouchers like Boots or John Lewis or Dorothy Perkins, then give the vouchers to relatives etc - at no cost to me!

Excellent news James - also, when I said look at the Pigsback thread I meant it! You don't need to answer the competitions on your own, folks on the thread provide the answers for you and even the links - you just have to click and select the answer. Some are competitions only, others give you 10 or 20 points if you answer correctly. Sign up for the Pigsback newsletter and get 50 points. Check your Pigsback every Monday at 11am, that's when some of the squares around companies go PURPLE and when you click on those you get 10 points for nothing.

On Quidco, Alliance & Leicester is a good one for £50, although you might earn £95 by going through the non-Quidco referral method instead (see separate thread - where someone refers you - then then get £50 and give you £45 of this, plus you get £50 in your account). Sadly you can't do both.

Bingos.co.uk is another good one, spend £10 get £25 cashback (still the case I think). InkClub give you £8 on your first order of an ink cartridge.

Cahoot savings account is good - you can earn £26 cashback just for opening it - no need to deposit anything.

I book travel and hotels via Quidco at work - can you do this in any way - even for family members? £10 per hotel you book with hotels.com, nice earner. 1% back on any Expedia flights.

Enjoy!

Naughty you eagerlearner, hope you pass the savings on..:)I do this as well - but do you use Holiday Inn, Express or Crowne Plaza - 1500 pigsback points at the mo!!!!!! £80 of Boots vouchers so far, work are paying for Xmas!!!!

EagerLearner

Naughty meeeeee? Seems like you have a nice *coughworkcough* stash there too! I earn nowhere near that as sometimes I have to book direct with the hotel (boo-hoo) and they don't stay in UK hotels much...

Nice Pigsback work if you can get it :beer:

Hi James - another fab one is order a £2 pay as you go SIM card from EasyMobile, they give you an extra £12 airtime credit for FREE, and Quidco give you £20 cashback!

So effectively - spend just £2 to get £32!
