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

Hi someone earlier, I think it was lauhen, said that they added their vouchers to their Amazon account, how is this possible? I started getting vouchers from ipoints last year but was afraid to order them too early in case they expired before I needed them and was then worried that they wouldn't come back in time. If I could convert them into money (so to speak) in Amazon that would be fab.

Hi angela, when you get a e.voucher for amazon you can apply the code to you account and you can leave it there til you need it, you do need to set up an account with them then under theaccount page here

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/css/homepage?ie=UTF8&ref_=topnav%5Fya

click on Apply gift voucher to account

just type or copy & paste the code and it will add the voucher to your account.

Hope that makes sense

Hi Gals (& guys if we have any joining us this time), I'm back again, quietly following along & posting when I find something I think is worth mentioning. I'll get myself a bit comfier here in the new year as atm its all go still.

For those who do Toluna I've emailed them as havent had my amazon voucher (put in for on 14th Oct, due at latest 10th Dec). Heres the reply

Thank you for your email.

Since we order large batches of vouchers at the same time, it normally takes up to eight weeks from when you order the voucher until you receive it. We understand that some of these vouchers are beyond the 8 weeks as promised but we are working hard to catch up with the delays.

Here is an update on all our main vouchers:

We have now sent all Amazon vouchers up to the 30th September.

We have now sent all Love 2 Shop vouchers up to the 30th September.

We have now sent all Halfords vouchers up to the 15th of October.

We have now sent all HMV vouchers up to the 15th October.

We have now sent all Debenhams vouchers up to the 21st of September.

We have now sent all CDwow vouchers up to the 15th October.

Unfortunately we still are experiencing some delays with the vouchers, in which we send our apologies. We are working very hard to sort out these matters and send the vouchers to our members. We understand this is very frustrating and we hope to get your voucher to you as soon as possible. We do realise that delivery times for some of these vouchers is now beyond the 8 weeks as promised. We understand our members work very hard to earn their points and we are working very hard to catch up with the delays. We have no specific delivery dates however as soon as we receive the vouchers they are sent immediately.

If you have ordered any of the other vouchers please do not hesitate to contact me. Similarly, if you ordered your voucher before the time mentioned and have yet to receive it please reply to this email so we can investigate. When replying please do not forget to add the name of the voucher and the date you ordered if possible which will assist us in your inquiry.

So I guess at some point I'll have an Amazon voucher to put towards next Christmas.

jamtart6

thanks for the info sylphy!

welcome wen!

for those who don't think they have £50 worth of "stuff" loitering for eBay, you'd be surprised!

pammyj74

well I will join the dooyoo challenge. Does this mean we have to 20000 redeemable or just earned? Also how we will have to mark down what points we already have at midnight new years eve so we should all note them on here so no one cheats

I have 14000 in one week but I have really put the effort in and done a few reviews, this is only because I am off work, I wont be able to keep that up though it would be nice to get to 50k for a cheque

how do you find more and more things to review!! I know i will struggle to review things as it goes on.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to join this challenge too, please. I've just set up a dooyoo account.

I exchange lists with many of the people I buy for at christmas, so cash and vouchers are going to be more use to me than bargains, though I'm hoping to get the 'stocking filler' type bits throughout the year.

Looking forward to doing these challenges with you all in 2010!

Thanks for the info Sylthraven, I also emailed them but they didnt bother replying to me! I've got a £12 voucher that I claimed in october, and a £15 voucher that I claimed just over a month ago (both love2shop) so god knows when I'll get those, could have really done with them for the sales! ahh well, hopefully I'll get them before next christmas... lol xx
