I have already had 2 X £10 Amazon vouchers off them in the past and thought they were a pretty good site......not anymore I've just cashed in all my points - £60, 000 on a HMV voucher, 750 for 3 Christmas prize draw tickets (250 points each) and 4,500 on three normal prize draw tickets (1,500 points each but you get a free one for every one you buy so that's 6 tickets). Now all I have left is 100 points. Doubt I'll win but I felt better doing something with them rather than just leaving them and there's nothing else I could so with 5,000 points - it's not even near to getting a 'reward'.

Once I get my HMV voucher I'll terminate my account and email them to tell them why.

Still waiting for my HMV voucher since posting this on the 21st December, so it has just passed the 4 week mark that they reckon you will receive it by

I have just been deleting all the surveys I get sent (usually at least a couple a week). I went onto T&V to edit my personal details to stop the surveys been sent......and found that I have been credited for a survey that I didn't realise I hadn't been credited for :doh:Now my credits are back up to 5,000! Still nothing I can do with 5,000 points, but if I hadn't blown all my points on the tickets I would have 10,000 now!:wall:

It's mad, I know, but I hate the thought of using my time to earn points points but not using them! After all, T&V must be getting paid by the companies that we are filling in surveys for so it's like they are getting paid for my time and I'm getting nothing!

I'm trying to edge my way up to 60,000 points and then I'm out of this one, I've had enough and given up.

I ordered 5 vouchers last year - and I had to chase every one, at least twice. I'm still waiting for a Pixmania voucher from September and points to be credited for a survey in Sept which apparently I have not received because "no one has" :rolleyes:

The year before I had to chase about 50% of surveys and vouchers, but nowadays it's 70% of the surveys and ALL of the vouchers. I give them about 8-10 weeks before chasing, so it's not as if I'm being unreasonable. T+V are the only survey company who I deal with who have their own email folder on my pc! - I keep all my enquiries and all their invitations where I've completed the survey. It's way too much admin for a few bloody vouchers, so I'm dumping this one asap!

But it's not "money for nothing" ... we're spending a lot of time giving our thoughts for their surveys

I guess the time I spend online (for me) falls into leisure time and I don't necessarily expect financial reward for it. Its nice if it happens and it annoys me when I complete surveys and don't get the points but if it annoyed me as much as it seems to annoy you then I suppose I would stop.

When i click to look at the HMV voucher option there's nothing on there to actually convert points or tell me how many are needed (I now know from here though:rolleyes: . Am I missing something or do they just not bother telling you until you've got enough points? I will NOT waste points by entering there draws (prize that is )

They now "hide" the hmv option

Click on your Personal Area and just below the option to convert to prize tickets is an option to show other exchange possibilities - its currently 60000 points for a £15 hmv voucher

I'm rarely sucessful in the surveys, I got selected for the shop and scan one, but wasn't told it needed hooking up to the phone line - I get fined by Sky if I do that because of sky plus >.< Just do loads of quick votes.

I think the shop and scan only needs to be connected to the phone once a week when you transmit your shopping details - Sky shouldn't have a problem.

Shop and Scan never required it to be connected to the phone when I did it... just through the computer. Are you thinking of FactFinders?

It needs you connected to the internet, doesn't it? maybe thats why it needs a phone line
