Free £5 contribution to Haiti Disaster Fund - Best offer on the web

Options
I have just seen that PaysYou are offering £5 to the Haiti disaster appeal for everyone who joins

This is the best voluntary contribution to the Haiti Disaster that I have seen so far on the internet.

Basically, I am a member of this cashback site. It is very similar to quidco, etc and costs nothing to join. In fact they pay you a joining bonus of £5.

At current they are offering £5 to the Haiti disaster appeal for every new subscriber.

http://www.paysyou.co.uk/blog/

Please note, you must join using the link on their page.

They do have a referral scheme, but by using the link on the page attached, you forfeit this and the money (£5) goes to the Haiti appeal.

As stated above, I do not stand to make anything from any referal scheme, the money goes to the appeal.

Thanks

    a nice idea but just to clarify the fact that it says on the page:-

    For every new subscriber that joins PaysYou.co.uk for Free, we will donate £5 to the Haiti disaster appeal once the subscriber has received £25 cashback.

    Subscribers must reach a minimum of £25 validated cashback before the 28th of February 2010 for the £5 payment to the charity fund to be made



    so you need to earn £25 cashback via the site for the charity to get £5 ( and the site only pays on average 50% of the Quidco/Topcashback rates)

    automatic 50p from quidco without a limitation and no qualifying spend

    https://www.quidco.com/in-store-cashback/

    HAITI APPEAL. SIGN UP TODAY AND OUR IN-STORE PARTNERS WILL DONATE 50p to Haiti Relief for every new registrant - and it's free - so sign up today and make a small but important difference to this tragedy.

  • Its horses for courses.

    £5 is clearly more than 50p.

    Admittedly, some cashback is less than Quidco, but these guys do offer a £5 joining bonus and £5 for every referal.

    In addition to this, I have found that PaysYou is the only website that offers free gifts on a regular basis.

    If you readfurther down the blog page, you will see tha the next post is for a free iPod shuffle and also I believe there is one for a free DVD aswell.

    Rather than have to earn 25.00 in cashback @ 50% rates in order for the 5.00 donation to be paid IMHO you would be better off making the donation yourself by whatever means including via numerous cashback sites and doing your cashback transactions via a 100% site thus not giving 50% profit to this apparent non household name Cashback Site and keeping that xtra 50% Cashback to spend as you wish. :money:

    seeing it is a 50% cashback site I would say you have to do some serious purchases between now and the end of feb to even qualify , I would personally struggle on Topcashback at 100% as I have no planned purchases at the moment that would achieve the £25 cashback threshold

    I agree large purchase necessary like insurance and utilities

    Its just a gimmick, given the time constraint

    just seen Topcashback doing a much better deal , you can choose to doante ALL your cashback earned to the appeal rather than to your account

    http://www.topcashback.co.uk/haiti_earthquake_appeal/

    HAITI EARTHQUAKE APPEAL CASHBACK discount rewards can be earned simply by clicking through to Haiti Earthquake Appeal and then shopping exactly as you would normally on the Haiti Earthquake Appeal website. It is so simple :-).

    Cashback discounts will be paid by Haiti Earthquake Appeal on genuine, tracked transactions completed immediately and wholly online.

    Yes, but thats the same as taking money out of your pocket. Im not saying people should not donate out of their pocket, butthe whole point of my post was that with the PaysYou post you dont have to pay a penny, they donate for you.

    Now we could go round in circles with reference to the rates of return, but PaysYou doo have the more generous referal scheme, £5 and they offer lots of freebies. Current one is the free Ipod and believe the DVD offer may still be on.
