Yes - one ongoing criticism of RP is that they don't always make it as clear as they arguably should how long it takes for points to show up. it's there on the FAQ page:

How quickly do my points get credited?

In most cases, your points will appear as "Pending" on your statement within 14 days.

At the beginning of each week, we receive reports from our partners and use these to update your points statement. If you are subscribed to our weekly newsletter, you will receive a notification email once this is done. Don't worry if a transaction you did does not appear the following week; some partners are slower to report than others and the motto is always "Allow at least 14 days"

Once we have received confirmation of your transaction and have been paid by the retailer (typically about 6-7 weeks from the date of your initial transaction), the status will change to "Awarded".

We aim to report on and award points as quickly as possible, however the time between you participating in a promotion and being awarded points can vary between promotions. This is due to the varying time it takes our partners and advertisers to provide tracking information and to confirm and make payments. An estimated "Award date" is displayed alongside your pending points on your statement.

Also, note that certain retailers will only report your transaction to us once the goods are despatched whilst others will only make payment once their moneyback or returns period has expired.

As a general rule, if no points have appeared as "Pending" on your account 14 days after you believe you qualified for them it may be worth submitting a claim.

But it often doesn't say that on the individual link.

RP lose out compared to PB where the CT's give instant payment, but I think that's because the advertisers pay in a different way.

The wording on Pricerunner rewards seems to have changed - it now reads:

Quote:
"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.

This appears to be true - I got 4 x 8p on the 31st.

Just an update from my point of view on the daily clicks so far. I've gone to each of them each day and tried to do whatever is required to get the points. So far Kelkoo picks up each day no problem - 6 points. Pricerunner, 2 days out of 3 so far - 8 points. Car source seems very tricky to pick up. Allegedly you can have 5 lots of 2 points. So far I'm managing 1 lot of 2 points on 2 out of 3 days. However the carsource in my statement has a value of 0.05p whereas all others have 0.00p. Any ideas anyone? Thought this might be useful to those unsure of whether their clicking will reap any rewards!

I also signed up to this when the thread started.

on the CT's Pricerunner and Kelkoo have each gone in each day (Kelkoo overnight and Pricerunner around 7pm the next day.) For Carsource you just have to be persistent, it is a hit and miss thing but as they go in within 20mins you quickly know if it has worked and can try again. Remember that for each search you must go back through the Rpoints link and that cookies etc should be cleared.

As for the others they apparently take longer to go in and so I will reserve judgement for the time being.

I agree on Carsource and the "hit or miss" - we're genuinely trying to buy a Merc and a Golf at present and little is coming through!

PR is still giving more than 1 x 8p a day.

well this site has gave me nothing but hasstle, I signed up the other night and found my way onto anglian windows which said get 200 points for requesting info. So I requested a brochure but stupidly added my mobile number now they have been harressing me almost constantly for the past 4 days! Even tho I keep cutting them off! Be warned!

Hi Edna

Can I just clarify something
Kelkoo
Pricerunner
High Street Web
Search anything creit cards
car source

Are these the main things that will/might give me daily points?

I'm abit OTT with these sites now, I have Quidco, PigsBack, GreasyPalm, Ipoints, Mutual Points, and Rpoints going!

But I am getting it down to a T, clicking through them, while I eat my breakfast!!

sad or what!!
