    I can swap it with you for a £5 play.com voucher if you like (no postage costs). PM me if interested...

    Thanks, this would be a good idea.. but where I was testing out the voucher on Amazon when I was attempting to order stuff it's put it in my gift certificate balance, I'm not sure someone else can now use the code now?! :think:

    My total has also gone down because I bought that lipstick for £2.95 P&P, hoping it will sell well on eBay! I can't check at work, they won't let us on that site... :(

    I guess I could have a look... Bit of a pain really, I guess I could try and find something for £2.25 and then sell it for a profit, unlikely though.

    Sell it on ebay - I have several £5 and £10 vouchers on sale right now and all are either bid on or being watched. I got 3 of these £5 ones from Euroffice, had to pay £4.50 postage :mad: to get them and therefore allocated a £1.50 'cost' to each voucher on my spreadsheet.

    By the time you add the £2.95 to ebay fees and paypal fees etc it's going to be slim pickings... unless it goes for say £6 plus postage - depends if you think it would go for that?

    Well it's worth £14 so I'm hoping to get a good price for it... I also have other stuff in the pipeline so not relying on this heavily, thought it was something I could make some profit on! I might even sell it to a mate. :D
  • Hi Eagerlearner where did you get the euroffice vouchers from?

    Miss Muppett I would definately sell the voucher on Amazon - my £16 worth of Amazon vouchers went fro £15.90.

    Does anyone know how I can sign up to Nighttime rewards?

    Keep at it!!!!

    Hi Hannah, every time I order stationery for work I get Quidco cashback and also 'points' with Euroffice. I had enough in the kitty from past orders to get 3 x £5 gift vouchers from them, although it cost me £4.50 in postage fees. So not only do I get cashback, I also get vouchers!

    I actually got £170 cashback from Quidco 5 days ago, around £140 of which was due to transactions for the company I work for, but I have not included this money in the challenge as I wanted it to be from my £1 only. I'd be way up by now though, hmmm... :doh: :rolleyes:

    Hiya - yes sometimes they send an e-mail that says like 'Spend £40 and get a £5 NEXT voucher' - so I wait until I get those e-mails. In that case, postage of the voucher is free, and it is sent separately to your stationery order.

    On the other hand, each order with Euroffice accumulates points. This allows you one £5 voucher each time you have 500 points. I had over 1,500 points. In this instance though, you get changed for postage, so you need to wait until you have at least 1,500 or 2,000 to make it worthwhile...
