From the money you can earn from sites...you won't even notice the sites that charge in the end, its only £3/£5 from £100 a year etc.0

Well done so far wazza - you may find it may be harder to reach your daily goal now though as you start to run out of sign up bonuses.
At least you've inspired me to start doing surveys again0 -
Yes you need to deposit money onto your account to do the daily scratch cards (£10 I think) but maybe someone knows if you can withdraw this money again once you've got some extra money built up on top from the scratch cards? or do you have to spend the £10 first?
With Virgin, you need to deposit £5 to play, but then 72 hours later you can withdraw everything bar about 10p and keep playing0 -
but by surely doing this with virgin you are asking them to cancel your account. Better me thinks to go through a cashback site like virgin or quidco who offer £5 cashback when you deposit and gamble £5 on bingo. You never know you may even win big?Mortgage Start jun 2007 £88500 Outstanding Balance £51000

Why would it be asking them to cancelling your account? Not sure if i'm missing something there!
Depositing £5 then withdrawing it 3 days later would be the best way to go providing you'd won at least 10p or whatever on one of the free scratchcards so as to maintain a balance in your account to continue to benefit from the free scratchcard. As going through a cashback site means waiting however many weeks until you can claim it back.
That's my understanding of it anyway!0 -
Does anyone know which of these sites don't charge you anything to use? Like topcashback who don't take however much out of your earnings annually.
Fatcheese, Quidco, Get Pounds Back all charge £5 out of your first lot of earnings, so that tells you some of the sites that do charge. Of the others I haven't seen anything on their sites which states they charge you an admin fee, but they don't all catergorically state that they don't either. But I personally take that to mean that they don't charge, and looking at the withdrawal requirements it doesn't seem to say anywhere that they'll keep the first £x amount.0 -

Thats right, there are a lot of sites that do not charge an admin fee, but this is becasue you do not get the full cashback amount, the cashback site will keep some. Sites like Fat Cheese, and Quidco pass everything on to you, and in return just keep the £50 -

Good point. Is there anyway of knowing what amount of cashback you do get from the admin fee free sites? Or is it just a case of comparing how much cashback you would get for a certain click/offer on Quidco, to how much you get back for that same click on one of the free sites, then that will give you an idea of the difference.0 -

Yeah Anth, thats the only real way that you can do it!0 -
anthn09 what i mean't was they may mark your account as a bonus hunter, espcially if you are only ever withdrawing and never even playing bingo with your free winnings.Mortgage Start jun 2007 £88500 Outstanding Balance £51000
