    Survey on books for 1 point.

    Doh.. completely forgot about webfetch!.. prob missed out on loads of points :p
  • I have done all the above but I have still only got 10 points! What could I be doing wrong?

    Hi, Thanks for this but I can't find Heyday Bingo or the 'other offers' page on ipoints!
    Could someone please point me in the right direction? :confused:
    Cheers
  • On the main menu select the third tab 'Earn Points' (after 'Home' and 'My Account'). 'Other Offers' is the last link along in the 'Earn Points' menu.

    Heyday Bingo is then the 5th ad down from the top of the page.

    [edit - just gone back in and it seems that the other offers change. Heyday Bingo is no longer showing for me]


    It's worth checking all your details are fully completed in the account section, too. I just got 10 points for 'Contact Details Confirmed' and I've been a member for almost a year. :o
  • Yes, you might have to keep refreshing for the right banners to come up. There's a thread on the Rpoints forums (under "Site plugs & Moneymaking") which tells you which banners - and polls - are currently awarding poiints).

    even_steven, you should be able to get a further 15 by updating something (anything) in the second half of that same page. I'm not sure how often you can get points for this; I thought it was once a year, but if you've been a member for less than that maybe I'm wrong.

    Hope that helps

    thanks, never knew about that thread.. will keep an eye out now as probably missed out on loads of points (again!)

    just to mention that the *heyday bingo clickthru is giving a point everyday.. so far :-)

    *as mentioned refresh the other offers page if you cant see it, and it should appear.


    Martyn, its mentioned that people have got points for updating or changing info in their profile and contact details.. I didn't get any, but only just done it so they may appear?
  • Afraid not, mich_city; those points are added instantly.

    I got them a couple of weeks ago, then added it as (365+1) days to my email reminder service - http://www.free-minder.com/- so I know to update again. I guess if you wait 366 days you'll get them!

    this method has worked for me in the past: when you get your list of search results in webfetch, right click on the titles/links and open in a new window. when you refresh the webfetch page or do a new search, the counter bar goes up by about 10 searches. i realise this might be considered as abuse of the system so if people would rather me not suggest this method, please say so and i'll delete this message.

    thanks.. will bear it in mind for next year.. only joined in march :p

    and actually I've had 2 x £25 boots vouchers so far (not 1 as I stated above) and nearly got enough points for a third, so well worth joining if you haven't already done so :-)
