    Hi Edna
    ...sad or what!!

    No - just money saving!! :)

    Yes toozie - those should be the ones.

    You've got it absolutely right - the key is doing all those sites but with the minimal amount of time spent on it.

    I've just registered and am confused too?!

    Is it a penny a point?

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!

    Just a quick tip never ever give your correct mobile number info on a webform - just make one up or use 00000's its usally a good idead to get up a new web based email adress eg yahoo then the emails do not clutter up your main email address

    I have been with rpoints for a couple of years and have had £250 worth of amazon & cdwow vouchers - you can also ask to be paid be bacs , egg . moneybookers or paypal (paypal not recommended as they take their fees out)

    See this thread for info on how to get your 1st payment very quickly

    I had a similar problem with Aveon (bed people).
    They only phoned me once but I had a hard time trying to get rid of her!

    lol as an old school rpoints user I find it hard to believe some people think the site is complicated, it is one of the best and easiest to navigate I have come across, no annoying flashing banners and all sorts thrown in your face.

    yes 1 point is 1 penny

    yes you can withdraw straight to your bank account, no need to cash in for stupid rewards that devalue as they increase the point requirement over time etc.

    there are other easy points, that are not quite so visible, there is 50 points for getting a car insurance quote at peoples choice for example.

    the forums are great, better than these if I had to be honest ;)

    I agree points can take a while to show up sometimes, but you can get a report on your price runner clicks here

    One major problem for clickers is getting to a payout point (sorry for pun).

    Its ok saying there are all these offers but most people 'click' several sites and the same offers are on all of them give or take a couple. You then end up with £x on one site £x on another and not enough to get a payment from anywhere.

    Its trial and error and I personally go with the highest payers first (like 10p for Kelkoo instead of 6p) and out of the lower click payers, like 6p for Dealtime etc, I go for the sites that pay on the least amount with the most daily clicks.

    Although R Points is easy to use theres not many dailies and a lot of the 'extra' points dont track. What on earth do you do once you have done all the 'extra' points on RPoints (quick £25 or something) and you only have dailies left to do in the future.

    Unless you do your purchases on RPoints (I'm not doing car insurance on RPoints for a few quid if I can get £110 from another site) you will wait very long time for your next payout.

    I wasn't aware many sites have loads of dailies at present? Please let us know which have if you know some.

    If extra points on any site don't track you should always chase them up - how do you find the the "make a claim" facilitity on RP compares with others on this?

    you can find this by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking 'Contact us', they ask that you only make a claim if your points have not appeared on your statement within 14 days.

    Do Pricerunner and Kelkoo always track the searches on your account? It's abit hit and miss with me, might get one one day, the other the next or none at all, when i've been doing the same thing everyday.

    One main one that comes to mind is Cashinco. About 10 dailies plus other things and the clicks clear ther next day or do.

    Unless you kept a log of every click you do either daily or easy clicks you would not remember the dates you had done them so its difficult to chase up. I've done many of the easy clicks on RPoints. Anglian for instance says 'yes paid' or maybe pending but many of the other dont show that youve even done them unless you go to register again and the site says you are already registered.

    I'm sure this is a common problem on most sites. All I'm saying is clickers go where the easiest and quickest payout are. Personnally I find RPoints too slow to confirm the points (along with ecashrewards also) when there are other sites that confirm really quick.

    I do like the forum on RPoints though.

    Thanks for that hilary1.

    No offence intended but we should probably keep referral IDs firmly off this thread, or:

    a) Everyone will pile in and do it, and

    b) the thread will get moved to the Referrers board by the Moderators which would be a great shame.
