*NEW* Thrifty Gifty - Money Making for Christmas & Occasions 2010

Well done Susan on the National. Between the four of us we had 8 horses and not one winner! :mad: Edited to add: with Betfair I got £15 cashback and £10 free bets (the credit was added today for the free bets) Placed four bets on the next race, just checked and I won £24.45! Don't know whether I can only withdraw the £14.45 or the full amount. I'm going to leave it in there until Quidco validates. :beer:

I did the Tesco glitch too, but I wasn't counting that, only vouchers, so in that case I'm done too! Woohoo.

Have started to get into dooyoo again, but everything I want to write about isn't in the catalogue. I'll just have to have a mooch and just do ones that already have reviews.

Had an invitation for Pinecone - just waiting to see if they accept me now. :eek:

Nothing else money saving happening.

Dooyoo - does everyone know that you can suggest products to be added to their catalogue? I noticed a few people saying that things they want to review aren't on dooyoo so thought perhaps some people didn't know this. On the left hand side there is a link that says 'product suggestion'. You just fill in a short form saying what the product is and giving a link to a website showing it. You need to link a photo of the product so I just search google images and link one there.

It varies how quickly they will add your product. I've had some take 2-3 weeks and some are added within a couple of days, I think it just depends on how busy dooyoo staff are at the time

Morning all, not done a lot for a while as OH is off and have been out and about but did get one review done the other day. Had my sewing machne looked at yesterday and the bloke has fixed it as best as he can, said its not a very good machine and wont be able to get a better result from it if I tried so have looked into getting a new one. Have seen a Singer one I would like which is just under the £200 mark. Have half of that saved up towards is so will need to find another £100 or may be a bit less, they seem to have 10% off on a lot of the sites so might come in at £179 if I am lucky. Will get knuckled down to dooyoo as soon as I can and see if I can get the £50 cheque this time towards it instead of Amazon vouchers as most of the big presents are done now anyway. I have one review saved for something I have suggested so hopefully that will come up soon and I can put that on. Out today so wont get any done today, will have a go tomorrow though as H is back at work.

Hi all,
I don't know if this will be any use for anyone, or if it has already been posted, but I got an email today to say a site is offering £5 for every 5 reviews up to £100. I cant post links but it is uk(dot)shopping(dot)com/sc/uk-reviews (hope that works, dont know if it will still be classed as a link lol! xx

Hi Nicky

If you search for a product, it will show you a list of them, for instance if you put in DKNY it will list the different perfumes etc.

You can only review products that have the stars under them to show they can be reviewed, or if you hover over the pictures, if they says 'see details' you should be able to review it, but if it says visit store it is not a product to be reviewed.

Hope this makes sense and you can get reviewing, good luck

I don't know wether we will get paid for the reviews, really hope it works! I haven't written any, but I have copied and pasted 10 from dooyoo so that's £10 and I'll write a few when I get chance! I can't see anywhere on the site wether they have a minimum word count or anything, if anyone knows please let me know :O) xx

I did this twice and got paid on the first one and then they sent my paypal payment to my wrong email address and havent heard back from them but they def pay out.

I am liking the new ipsos site now, great that you see your pts straight away. I am on 1085 at the moment so not far off another amazon voucher there.
did another dooyoo tonight but dont think i will get to redeem on BP this week again

I wasn't going to put this here, but I can't help bragging! I've had another brilliant recieve from a complaint! I complained to a lingerie company, a bra that the underwiring came out of after it only being washed 4 times at the most, they sent me a lovely email apologiesing and saying they were sending me some "good stuff" (their words lol) and giving me the fed ex tracking number. was coming from new york got here in about 5 days, I honestly expected a replacement and maybe one other, Got a huge box, inside was 5 bras, 5 pairs of knickers, 2 pairs of hold ups, a corset, a body and a baby doll! worked out cost and it almost £200 if not more, had only paid less than £20 for origional bra!! Amazing customer service from the off, and they replied to my emails within 10 minutes, and didn't even want me to send them the orgional bra which i'm going to try fix LOL!! Not all to my taste obviously, but some of them are gorgeous, and best thing (so it is really MSE) got a friends birthday soon, and she wants everyone dressed "moulin rouge" tried the corset on with the skirt and it looks fab, and not too revealing like I was dreading!! The one I was going to buy was over £40 so that's money saved :O) :O) :O) xx

Have tried to sign up to this too but I cant seem to get off the register page, when I click on Register it just stays on the page and not doing anything.

Will try again tomorrow, may be too many people trying to sign up or something.

Had £10 from Quids in uk this morning and there is £27 waiting to be claimed from Cashback Cascade once they finish confirmaitons.
