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

elysia2003

Shopping .com is where you write reviews (like dooyoo) but they don't get rated for you to be paid. Each review only has to be over something silly like 20 words or something. I try and do about 100 to be on the safe side. For this you MUST use spellchecker though, as the review will be deleted.

The problem with the site is, there's not a lot of things to review on there. Last time there was a promotion some people wrote their 50 reviews but really struggled. This time, I have found that much more things have been added, but it's hard finding the time to write them. The promotion is still on, so have a go, even if you write a few, it's all extra money.

When you find something you'd like to review, if it has stars underneath the listing, it means it's had a review written, so you can too. I did email and ask how do we recommend something to be added in order to review it, but sadly I got no reply.

There is another promotion running at the moment too. You don't review as such, but you write a guide. How best to lose weight and keep it off, A guide how to pick the perfect present without actually asking them what they want, how to make a thrifty christmas your best ever - that kind of thing. Don't quote me on it but with guides I think you get £50 for 10.

All info for reviews is here.

Well done Scatty for being Money neutral woohoo! I never kept a spreadsheet but I was too, as I have money left in my Christmas savings account. I have my spreadsheet all set up ready for the off. I can't wait.

I am so cross:mad: I still haven't received my amazon voucher from Toluna and when I click on the contact me bit I get page not available:mad:
did someone have an e mail address for Toluna or did I imagine that!
read yesterday that you only have 6 months to query non receipt of vouchers so haven't got long:mad:
sorry for the rant but it makes me so mad that it takes so long and then I can't contact them:mad:

Sorry Bunbun for not replying earlier. I haven't a contact email but I think either Susan42 or Nickybo had one (I might be mistaken and it's someone totally different altogether LOL).

If I remember in the morning, I'll have a look on the site for you. :A

eeh I know elysia - so excited too. Could have done so much more this year but had baby no.2. to contend with so this year will be much easier. Planning a car boot for when they open in march.

They didnt actually send me the vouchers, when I went on the site and clicked on my vouchers there are links there and I got the voucher numbers from there. I wouldnt have even had a look if I hadnt have seen someone else on Toluna saying they had had their voucher and they claimed it same day as me so though I would have a look and see if its still pending or not and the voucher was there.

Have a check and see what it says bunbun xx

thanks elysia and rufus

I have checked the website and there is no link. it says the payment has been processed so I wonder if it has been sent and I haven't received it. if they replied to my e mails I might find out:mad:

Dont suppose it went to your spam folder did it? I emailled them when my account first went over to Toluna from Ciao and they replied to me quite soon, cant remember what email addy I used, will have a look and see if I still have it or not.


Think it was this one TolunaRewards_EN@toluna.com

Thanks Rufus, Scatty and Bunbun. This is what I like - us all working together and money making. Roll on January, we can make this thread useful again!

Had a good week so far. I've just claimed £10 Amazon on VO and have £6 odd still pending, £15 LTS off Toluna and £10 Capital Bonds off Ipsos.

I joined Ipsos on 13th Sept, and have got my second payout. Not too bad since I probably only get one survey per week.

Hello Busy mum. Welcome to the thread, join in when you can. If you're not doing any surveys at the moment, sign up to some. Get a friend to refer you, if you know anyone who does them, that way, they make a bit of extra cash, and then when someone else signs up, you can refer them and you can make a bit extra too.

We're just finishing off the year at the moment, just tying up loose ends and hopefully we will all be money neutral - I know most of us are.

I'll start the new thread up in a few weeks so we can get ready and raring to go for the new year. :j:j:j
