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

rufusdog52

Dug this out from about 8 pages back. Have been on Dooyoo most of the morning as had nothing better to do lol (OH is asleep as on nights again so can't get in my sewing room). I did about 5 or 6 reviews this morning of films I had seen, was just going through the dvds on there seeing what I had seen. Cant do any more as eyes are going wonky lol. I usually only do one at a time and then wait until I have some people rating it before I go onto the next one but it takes so long to mount the points up that I had lost interest in it since I got my last voucher. But money is so tight and OH wants some more dvds for Xmas so thought I would try to get another £20 voucher before Xmas to use as doubt whether I will get the Toluna ones by then. Can keep my fingers crossed though but will be surprised if they come.

Have done the daily clicks the last few days again, cliamed a fiver off Topcashback, but that seems to be it for the moment, a couple of them creeping up near to pay out level but so slow these days, doubt if any others will pay out before Christmas.

That has been the same for me.Decided after a bit of a break to wake everything back up.Got 10 off getpoundsback the other day.Trying to remember which ones I was signed with.

I bought my new home insurance from More Than through Quidco back in June and the sale didnt track. Contacted a rep on the Quidco thread and they told me I have to wait 90 days before I can raise a query so yesterday I did it and now I have to wait and see whether they pay out or not. Its £50 if they do pay but I am not holding my breathe. If it goes through fine if not its one of those things. Must say it has put me off Quidco since though and havent really done anything on there since then. Tend to use Top Cashback these days more.

If you have a Nectar card, dont forget there are many online shops now that you can go through the site and get points for. I didnt realise until the other day just how many and had forgotten all about using the site. Realised that I had been missing out on points when buying from sites like Amazon Ebay and Play. Also downloaded the Nectar tool bar which gave me 100 points for doing it and also if you search on the tool bar it adds points as well. You can only get max 50 points a month (I think) doing it this way but it all adds up. I have added one on this computer and OH who has his own Nectar card has added one on the laptop.

Rufus - I have More Than Insurance tracked since April, it hasn't even gone to validated yet. I'm not holding my breath that I'll get a payout. The £45 would be nice though.

Yes seems a bit of a catch really, I doubt I would have gone with More Than if it hadnt had the good offer of the cashback. They quoted me less than what my old insurance company was quoting but after I took it out my old one rang and said they could match the quote so I could have stayed with them and paid the same.

Did yours track straight away or did you have to chase them up? Mine didnt even track at all although it said on the Quidco page that I had clicked on the link etc, just didnt show up in the transactions.

Does any of you who do Toluna know what the opinions etc are for on the site? I have only just gone over to it from Ciao and dont understand it all yet. Have been doing plenty of the mini polls and building my points up but not sure what the other things are for and whether you earn points for doing them or not.

Still havent got the vouchers yet, only beginning of October though when I claimed them so might be December if I am lucky as seen it say 8 weeks (waiting for Amazon vouchers).

Have been sticking with Dooyoo but still not up to half way yet. I thought when I last posted on here I was over the 9000 mark but was only the 7000 mark so just got over the 9 now.

Rufus - you need to write an answer of over 100 words (I think) I'm not sure as I have only done it a couple of times and never noted how much I got paid for it. I must get back into the polls again - payment came really quickly when you're not just relying on surveys!

You might just have missed the payment run, they only do it once a month - I should imagine it'll be here before Christmas though.

Well done on Dooyoo - I have 7,500 on there at the moment, from only 3 reviews, so I have a few more to write yet to catch you up.

I'm waiting for my e-voucher from the tesco double up. I did it yesterday and it still hasn't come through! I want to order DD's Tv for her birthday January. It'll only cost £40 cash once they've accepted the vouchers.

Thanks Elysia for explaining that. I still havent done any opinions but its something else I can have a go at.

Have been doing one review a day on Dooyoo and letting it get rated, was over the half way this morning so though I would work out how may more I need to do to get to pay out level. I worked out I would need to do 13 more without them being rated so had a good effort this morning and raided my medicine cupboard and managed to do five. I am over 15000 no so going to spend the rest of the day rating and do some more tomorrow. Might not need to do all 8 if I can get the ratings on these.

Checked Cashback Cascade yesterday and had £13 ready to be claimed so waiting for that to go into my account in the next two weeks hopefully, will buy me some more fabric for shirts.

I did an opinion to double check Rufus, and it's only twenty words and not 100. That's better. Also since Ciao took over (or whatever) your points have been going on almost instantly, so that's a bonus. Almost at payout so if I stick at it for a couple of days I should get there. It won't be in time for Christmas but it'll look great on next years spreadsheet.

Still on 7,500 on dooyoo
£13.50 in Valued Opnions
£26 on Onepoll
Nearly at £10 in Ipsos. So the money's coming in slowly but surely.

Thanks Elysia, that sounds much better with the 20 words, will have to have a proper look later on.

Been doing well on Dooyoo, was just over the 17500 this morning so not too far to go.

Valued Opinions is nearly at pay out.

Lightspeed nearly at £5 amazon level.

Toluna on 77,000 so nearly there too.

Mutual points is at 29000 pays out at 30000 so nearly there on that one too.

So many nearly there lol, will be happy if Dooyoo pays out though as can get OH's presents sorted.
