    How long do you have to wait for the points to be credited?
    So far I've only got 2 points from the car search showing.

    i find rpoints ok, a bit slow though, thats why i guess pigsback is popular as you get points almost daily and your account is credited instantly, where as all the other ones take a good while before you get the points/money in your online account and it takes ages to build up enough to request payment.

    Hi,

    Thanks Edna for starting this, I'm a member, but didn't realise how much you could get on daily clicks.

    I was wondering with the daily searches etc, do they check to see if you are searching for the same thing everyday? I always run out of ideas on what to search on so sometimes search on the same thing. Does it matter?

    Thanks,
    K

    If you do a search its best to keep teh search open for 30 secs or so and perhaps look on that site for something else, thats what I do.

    Example Looking for a ipod. Merchant window open (say currys) I look at product the click something else on that page say washing machine. Dont forget to clear cookies if you return for another search. I have written a guide on my web site see profile I cant post links as it could be construde as advertising. Hope that helps

    The wording on Pricerunner rewards seems to have changed - it now reads:
    You can earn points up to five times per day provided you have used the Rpoints link to visit Pricerunner at least twice per clickthru to a retailer. e.g. If you visit Pricerunner ten times via Rpoints and clickthru to a retailer on five of those occasions, you may qualify for five lots of points.

    That seems to imply more points than advertised - I'm guessing you should do a search on different retailer categories to get the full reward.
