    OH help, I've just managed to spend £21 that I dont have on lots of stash :(. Why do I do it? Ok, I need new things, and it was all in the sale, but what really really bugs me is that I spent £5 of it on postage. I never ever normally spend over £2.50 unless it is something I REALLY needed! Serious guilty conscience now, and I dont dare tell OH as we are really struggling at the moment!! I think I better go make it up on dooyoo!!

    1000 dooyoo miles = £1 either in cash or as a voucher.

    You need 20,000 miles before you can claim a £20 Amazon voucher. The voucher code is emailed to you and you just copy the code and apply it to your Amazon account. I got my last voucher much quicker than most sites - I think in less than a week.
    Also, once you have got past 20,000 you can claim at any increment of 5000. So if you didn't claim straight away at 20,000 you could wait until you had a bit more and claim at 25, 30 or 35,000. I prefer to do that.

    You need 50,000 miles to claim a £50 cheque. I haven't claimed a cheque so I can't say how quickly they arrive.

    So....... your 10,000 miles = £10 as either cash or Amazon voucher. If you want an Amazon voucher then you are half way there :T

    Thank you for the info NickyBo :T I think i will go for vouchers as i buy stacks from Aamzon during the year plus for Christmas too. Also its quicker to get to 20,000 points then 50,000 so it will give me a boost to keep going if i can see the vouchers mounting up.

    I assume i can use several vouchers to pay for a more expensive item? Thinking of saving the vouchers for something like a IPod touch for my dd for Christmas.

    well have bought a few present as I have been wandering.

    Can anyone answer a silly question.

    Do you need to quote any monies received from dooyoo etc if you are self employed?

    Yes, the way the vouchers work is you just apply them to your account by pasting in the code. So if you get 2 x £20 vouchers you apply both of them to the account and the balance will show £40. As far as I know there is no expiry date to them.
