    green metropolis possibly? try a local market seller too bunbun!

    quick update: lost patience and interest with swagbucks - one to avoid!

    Have perservered with dooyoo - got the hang of it now, you have to put the time in to rate other review so ppl will rate you back. I am on £24 - £25 is the cash out value. 50p per review and 1.5p per read - most of my reviews are getting 40-50 reads. Gonna stick with this, reckon I could get another £25 easily by xmas if I put in 20mins a day.

    I've just signed up to Dooyoo but not written anything yet. Does anyone have any tips on how to be successful with it?

    Thanks :)

    Yes - don't just write the minimum of 150 words or pad out the wording with lots of unnecessary babble. Have a look at the "crowned" reviews for an idea of what is a really good review (although tbh I can't be bothered always writing them that long!!! mine are about 500wrds). Then read a lot of other reviews and rate them. Then people should rate you back. Before you write a 2nd review, just do a lot of reading and rating and get a good number of rates on your 1st review. What is your dooyoo name? I'll add you to my 'circle of friends' and rate your reviews. I warn you it takes patience, but it does pay off as the more ppl who rate you, the more ££ you get :)

    Thanks for that, that was really helpful. My dooyoo name is the same as on here - NickyBo. I try to keep the same name for everything or I forget who I am in different places :rotfl:

    Ages I think is the answer :o. You can check if you have ordered one by looking at your points total it will show as a big red -60000.

    Here's the answer from their FAQs
    How long will it take to receive my vouchers? Voucher delivery can take up to 8 weeks.
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    I've had amazon vouchers from Lightspeed twice and they have turned up via email within an hour of requesting them:confused: Don't know if there are some settings you can fiddle with or not...
