Why did you get pushed off dooyoo/Bingoport?

I wanted to say thank you: I've just redeemed a £5 voucher on BP, very pleased since I only signed up last week :money: Have almost £25 worth in dooyoo as well but I'm waiting to redeem that till it gets a bit more, I want to buy a specific thing costing £36 and a book for £4 :money:

I got pushed off Bingopost, as I was doint the comments but not spending enough on bingo.

Dooyoo - that was a nightmare, (my confession!), I absolutely love carry On Films, been addicted to them since I was a kid, going back about 5 yrs ago they did the DVDs and magazine set, collected all the DVDs, (got rid of the VHS versions), so I wrote about all the Carry on films, but there was someone else who had already done the films, and I was accused of cheating, there excuse one or 2 cross over off plots would be acceptable, but nt really 30....... doh not being funny but the Carry on films, saucy humour, and most descriptions would be the same. I did complain to them, then they hid behind the terms and conditions.... You don't really have a leg to stand on, I'd had an email before saying that my rateings weren't high enough % at top 2 tiers and they were reviewing the account, so it was on the books.
The vouchers made a massive difference, as when Miss Hoodie had her wii last xmas and nearly every accessory going, it took a wack off the Amazon bill. xx

Please all widh me luck for Sunday, doing a car boot at one of the local schools, been before and made a few quid, gd thing is they don't open the school gates to 8.30am...... where as our school although in paper say 8am start.... the gates are left open the ngt before, and on gd weather day - you need to be there by 6am to get a gd pitch...... there have been iditots there at 5am setting up, (not quite me, the earliest I've gone is 5.30am)...... xx

Good luck mum2one. I did a carboot last October but since then as we've been doing the house out, everything we don't want has gone to the tip. Nothing left to carboot - and I don't think anyone would want to buy OH and the kids. :rotfl:

I received my VO Boots voucher today, and am back up to £8.00 odd already. I'm just 2,500 off toluna but I keep getting screened out or the points are ridiculous. I was offered 1,500 points yesterday for a survey that takes 50 minutes. I've just worked it out 5,333 points is £1.00 so that was about 25p. :mad:

You did brilliantly, I've got a bag of stuff ready to put on, then dds dslite be going on, and shes sorting through her games aswell.

Planning on putting her car seats in the free adds, - replaced with booster seats.

She's now decided she wants her party (haveing Bowling Party), to be a pajamas party........ told her if she can behave over weeknd (invites go out Mon), then I'll add that.....

I got booted off Bingoports too and they never told me what for. I tried to contact them numerous times but they didnt reply to any of them. So still dont know to this day what it was really. There were a load of us on here who used to do it and we all got booted off at the same time.

Managed to claim £18 from Cashback Chief this morning. Both the other payments I had claimed have paid up. Still need some more points for Dooyoo for next voucher. We have taken off Sky Movies till xmas to save a bit more money but it means I havent got as many films to review. Will have to start going through all the dvds we have.

Hope you are all well, this thread keeps disappearing lately, think its getting harder and harder to make a bit extra these days.

I know Rufus! I've not been on dooyoo at all since the points changed. Everything lately seems to take so much effort. It's taken me months to get the last 15,000 on Toluna - I did reviews worth the 15,000 but points were never added. I'm still 800 points from redeem so hopefully tomorrow.

I did get a nice suprise today though. I had a bingo win a couple of months ago, they emailed asking If I told them what I was spending the money on (Christmas presents) they would send me a botte of wine. It arrived today - champagne - I'm saving it for Christmas. )
