hey,

I was wondering if "yoursaypays.com" have paid out for anyone? I've been a member for about 5 days and I already have £5.25 in my account... it seems a bit too good to be true and I haven't heard people say much about that particular site.

I've never heard of it but I just did a search of the forums and found this thread:

It has someone saying they received a £20 payout from them so it does look like they pay. Think I'll go and check it out

As the ebaying is going so well atm and as I have a huge amount of stuff to declutter I am aiming for Sleigh status at £500 by the end of Nov.

£70 left to go - really pleased it is going well, and I have some space in the spare room at long last!

Next task is to take some more photos to load and then a long listing session!

Just found this thread from jamtart posting it on the "I'm sooo unprepared" thread and thought I might join in, although god knows how I'll find the time - must make better use of my lunch hours for a start.

This might help me get back into writing some reviews for dooyoo.

I've just claimed £30 worth of Play.com (£15 of which was the sign up bonus) vouchers from my Credit Card (all normal monthly spends, petrol, food etc). Going to spend that on OH.

I only need 3000 more points from dooyoo to get my next £10. But 1000 of those expire in 30 days! So I better get writing. If I do 1 review per day this week I'm pretty much there. It is still 500 points?

ipoints: 799

nectar points: just claimed £20 Sainsburys which I plan to spend on Christmas food shopping or wine for my Christmas hampers.

consumerpulse: approx 3000 points, and just claimed £10 amazon which will go towards mums Christmas present.

TNS Food survey thing: £5 capital bond in the post.

Pigsback: virtually given up, 1208 points.

Quidco: (are people counting quidco), I have £17 pending. £5.43 of which was completely free (bought some stuff on behalf of MIL - is that bad?)

Tesco clubcard: £20 vouchers, plus another 2000 points worth due in the next statement. Plan is to buy a magazine subscription for a Christmas pressie for me from hubby! The rest will probably be spent on restaurant vouchers, so not sure I should count that in?

Music Magpie: Sent off about £12 worth of DVDs, still waiting for cheque.

eBay: Made about £30 after fees and postage a few weeks ago. No more stuff to ebay though.

Wow, when I add all that lot up, I've got £65 worth of vouchers, £40 clubcard vouchers and £59 cash. Not bad Going to have a read to see if I can get more ideas from this thread.

//Edit - I didn't want people to think I spend a lot at Tesco so wanted to explain the points...I did the Torres wine deal a while ago which got us 1800 points if I remember rightly. Also having just about finished DIYing on the house, we've bought some big items like a sofabed and bed from Tesco Direct

Sorry haven't checked in on here recently.

Am nearly at my total from DD counting my jingle jar and cashing out my topcashback for this year - plus have about £25 of Tesco vouchers to come this time I think and still have my sealed piggy to count :j :j.

Plus I only have 3 more gifts to buy but as usual have left the hard one's till last but at least I have the cash this year and no January credit card bills to make holes in the doormat :rotfl:
OH, DS and present for ex from DD

Well done everyone, just bumping this up as its three pages down the list lol in case any newbies want to join.

Have 4p needed to claim £20 from Moneyback Madness and 1 point needed to claim £20 from Mutual Points. About 30 points needed on Free Snaks for £10 Tesco voucher. Haven't checked them yet today but need to run down doctors for a blood test as if I go later I will be wating all day to be seen so will check them when I come back.
