BFPO address how to earn extra cash

13Kent

Hi everyone

This is my first post so be gentle with me!!

We have about £6000 on a credit card due to costs incurred when we moved to Cyprus due to poor Euro/sterling rate everything surprisingly expensive!! (Didn't realise we could get an advance on pay until too late) the 0% deal due to end Dec.

I am not working at moment, so can't apply for a new card. Hubby tried to apply for one, but no UK address so won't be considered. :mad:

Can anyone suggest best option?

Also was interested in trying to earn a bit of cash, but have also fallen foul of 'no UK address' - spoke to Avon yesterday, and they won't employ me ( mind you the guy I spoke to kept insistently asking me what country Cyprus was in - was it in Greece!!) :rotfl:

Had a look at some of the mystery shopper on line websites - same problem.

Any ideas would be gratefully received!!

try ann summers party plan,my friend is on a bfpo address in germany as her hubby is out there serving in the army atm,and she is holding lots of parties. you could try cashback webistes such as quidco or cashback kings,but you may be limited on your earnings there though. hth!

If I was in your predicament I would personally use my mothers address. Is it possible you could use a family members address?

Lots of people manage to do party plan type employments using BFPO addresses. I don't know about Avon, but know people who do Phoenix (cards) and Usborne books in Germany. Try them.

You can do Usborne with a BFPO address. If you would like some info. you can pm me.

You have to pay for things in sterling, and each order has a £5 postage charge for a BFPO address. Our starter kit is £25 at the moment for UK residents so would be £30 for a BFPO in Cyprus. You can always take your business wherever you go too.

Thanks for your suggestions - was going to do Phoenix - someone already doing it, there is someone doing Usbourne at the moment, but she may be giving it up or taking a back seat - not sure whether to try that or not. - Have seen mixed posts about people not making much money as the books are expensive.

You need to love whatever you sell, so focusing on the product should be a priority when deciding on a direct sales career.

Can't use a family address for doing something like Avon as products need to be sent to me but thanks for suggestion!
