    GreenSue - there are no catches with cashback sites. It looks too good to be true, but it really isn't! Free money for clicking through. Have had £500+ to date.

    Welcome louise.

    I hate to spoil a party but are you all aware that what you are doing is against the rules of dooyoo?

    Adding each other to your CoF and rating each other is called forming a clicking cartel and is strictly against the rules of the site.

    Dooyoo is a serious consumer site and while yes you can earn money from it they have security in place to ensure people do not cheat and I suspect they will be taking a very close look at this list of names now which is well and truly in the public domain.

    I appreciate you may not have been aware of the rules when this challenge was instigated however it represents rule breaking on a very large scale for dooyoo.

    Ack, I didn't know this. _pale_

    I've edited my post, and would support the suggestion for others to do the same. I hope this doesn't jeopardise anyone in this thread - I've really enjoyed my dooyoo experience so far and have read some really great reviews by some of the posters in this thread.

    Hiya all,

    Today I bought a game for DD's birthday half price in Matalan, but to get rid of the last of the christmas stuff they said it was buy one - get one free. The game wasn't rubbish - it was Hannah Montana, it's just it was placed in the right place but it hadn't got a reduced sticker so people thought it was full price.

    Anyway, me being cheeky I took that and the only thing was wasn't rubbish to get a price check at the till. They both were in the sale and so I got the game (half price) and a doggie coat for free!

    Guess what I'm listing on ebay in a mo. I would have bought the game anyway so this is a bonus. Anyone want a dog coat for a miniature Yorkie or a chihuahua - I know of a nice one going cheap.:rotfl:

    I understand that we have to get rid of all posts with the big lists of dooyoo names as well as posts asking for ratings since we unintentionally broke their rules, but are we also getting rid of posts where someone has asked us our dooyoo name and we reply with it? Does anyone know if that break rules?

  • I think is fine line between it, after all how to people get friends... they suggest the site people join, they add.

    Just because we are doing it on site not face to face... thats just my opinion. By the way although for ease I have been reviewing friends from here, Ive also been reviewing and received reviews from strangers so its not strictly just in the circle.
  • Well despite a painfully slow internet connection I listed 17 items on Ebay yesterday and today towards my £50 target. All stuff around the house including a sewing machine, a bedroom chair, a mirror, and some clothes I'm fed up with. 3 bids already and lots of watchers so fingers crossed for some decent prices. Mind you any money I make will need to go straight into my bank (not having a good month:eek:) but I'll try and put some by for Christmas at the end of the month.

    Good luck to everyone else doing the challenge.

    I couldn't agree with you more ginger. I just remember not so long ago we had a similar problem that didn't have the best outcome and don't want it to end up like that as I love dooyoo!

    Oh dear, who'd have thought it?! I have now deleted my dooyoo name from my posts! :o
    Does this mean we should delete other members from our circle of friends too?
    Gingerbiscuit, I agree- I also rate lots of other people's reviews as well as friends' ones, and get rated by lots of 'strangers', but it's hard to know what's ok and what's not?!?:confused:

    well after doing 5 premium reviews a day for the last 6 days Im now up to 19550 !!! so close and yet so far. Im sure i only wrote 3 today but it said i had reached my limit. is that because i wrote one review that was 300+ words??

    do you have to have been a member for a certain length of time before you can do product suggestions? how do you redeem points?

    are these all questions i need to ask elsewhere?? lol
