    I have found them to be okay.. this does seem almost too good to be true.. it looks similar to the CBK deal which is £50 cashback but only on laptop purchases.. and Im guessing that Ipoints will only pay out once the affiliate network have paid them

    Dell sells music, you can buy a single track for 99pish? I don't see why that wouldn't fulfill the requirement.

    Can anyone confirm that this will work?

    I don't think Dell will pay out. From what I see, the offer is only for if you want to purchase something like a laptop or whatever. Granted though, there is nothing that says you can't purchase something else to fulfil the requirements. Good luck to everyone though who will be trying.

    ipoints are currently offering an Xbox 360 Arcade edition in exchange for 19,900 points:

    They are also giving a very generous 5,000 points per transaction with Dell:

    http://www.ipoints.co.uk/collect-ipoints/details/9c90ffd888e8/dell-home-office

    The cheapest transaction I can find on Dell is a Belkin cable for £8.72 inc. VAT and shipping. I doubt there's anything cheaper, as the cable itself is 49p - it's the VAT and shipping that bring it up to £8.72 - and the 5,000 points is per transaction not per item, so they have to be done in separate orders.

    So a spend of £34.88 earns you enough points for the Xbox.

    The ipoints T&Cs for the Dell offer say "Maximum five separate transactions per member" so I can't see any problem with doing this.

    I notice that the cables are from 'cables to go' not actually from Dell. So would this still be included in the 5000 point give-away? I also notice that the ipoints site mentions 'laptops' as in that's probably the only thing you'll get a point for?

    Well I've just ordered some cables that I need anyway, I've ordered 4 so far, need about 7 in total to be honest but will see what happens.
