    Quick padster update!

    I have a bid on one of my items I listed last night and loads of watchers :T.

    I also got £18.50 in Tesco clubcard vouchers today - there was a thingy in it about getting double value on clothes, wine and I think maybe beauty stuff - haven't read it properly yet though.

    Only need another 55p for £10 on valued opinions.
    Haven't had enough points for any Amazon vouchers for ages - last lot went on full set of Star Wars DVDs for OH's birthday - my favourite price is FREE :rotfl:
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Thanks for all the tips signed upto bingoport and I'm slowly finding my way around from my previous efforts i have
    topcashback about £2.50
    toluna 43,000 previously had 2x£10 amazon
    pigsback 1750 points
    lightspeed used to be very good but they have ignored me for ages
    Global test market 610 points, already had £26 cheque
    youGov £4.00 (and it taken ages to earn it!)
    GFK are the best, tv and and home surveys often send out £5 vouchers if you fill in one tv survey for 7 days
    ipoints 510 points and 2x£10 sainsburys already

    hmmm can't think if many more, but its all going on restaurant vouchers and spending money for my honey moon, so I'm not really a thrifty gifty girl more a thrifty honey moon girl :)

    depends how lucky you :) so far ive only won once but playing bingo is pretty addictive.

    Question re bingoport voucher redemptions. i want to try and earn abit, can i just rack up my points and then redeem them as a large voucher at the end? or would it be better to redeem every £5 i earn and then just use them all at once when im ready? :)

    In all honestly as soon as I have enough points I cash out. I've put a file by the computer, and once get the email I print it off, I know it says click here, but as long when u use Amazon, you dont use the one-click to get to get through to invoice, and you can enter more than one voucher.

    Quick thought

    Picked the info from another thread, one of the sites that do the free scratch cards (not take-a-break), instead of adding the scratch card winings to actual money, there putting it into BB, whether the other sites follow I dont know, just wouldn't want anyone to loose out x

    Toluna i have 10,000 points
    Dooyou i have 7555 points (i really need to do more)

    Also i'm looking for cheap presents through quidco
    Bingoport, i've been doing but i'm losing more than i gain so i think i will start posting on the forum :D
    Looked at the past times website and have added things to my basket on there but not brought anything yet, same with halfcost :D going to wait for a bit as i get a better wage at the end of the month :D
    Freebie, i'm 17, i put my dob a year earlier and on the review sites, so far, so good, although i do need to get my bum into gear with it a bit more :D

    Think thats it, i'm sure i will be around.

    Sorry I'm back again.... I've just recently come across a cashback site, think it's called fatcheese ...anyways they have 63p of daily clicks as well as many no spend offers that you sign up to... anything that is for free and only costs a click is a bonus in my book... think there may actually be a thread on here regarding fatcheese.... but it's one that I'm keen to get to know more about... especially as some of the % rates seem to be quite good. They do take a yearly fee of £5 - but at the moment you can refer a friend and get a £5 when they sign up - so you basically have that covered, and if you are linked to facebook you can invite all your friends and earn £5 for each - this is a limited offer - well that's what it says....Seems an alright site, but it's up to the individual. of course there is not all the merchants but i usually go between all my cashback sites anyways to see which gives me the best rate.....

    PLEASE NOTE: I have absolutely nothing to do with fatcheese - I know I kinda preeched there but I just wanted to give a little insight into something I discovered, and if I've repeated it - because it was already mentioned here or on the other thread i'm sorry - ......just have to let you know i'm not attached to these sites at all...

    cheers

    emmy :):):) xx

    Hi Emmy
    Dont worry you havent heard me yet with Halfcost, bargain site...... I rave about it all the time.

    Don't do my mistake, Jan sales, I'm bargain hunting saw some xmas cards, only flicked through the blurb, remember seeing 80 and 40, the pack was £4.99, so I thought I was getting 2 packs of 40 posh cards...........:cool:

    The parcel came opened the 1st box, full of xmas cards, had a look back at the site....... reading more carefully.......it wasnt 80, it was a box of 800 xmas cards......:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I'll send u a pm either now or 2mor, re referrring me, Id rather someone have the commission, and hopefully the next person:A;), would pm me and then follow on from there.

    GFK do tv watching and stuff buying surveys, tv-every day you fill in what you watched last night and how good you thought it was(great if you want to really trash a tv program to people who actually take note!), buying stuff is basically the same but on a monthly basis. THey have a prize draw that i win £1 or £2 each month on, but about every 3 months they send out a longer tv survey which if you fill in everyday for 7 days they give you £5! easy money :)
