Challenge: Raising £500 for Christmas before 1st December

Oh come on, it's hardly a challenge. Just sell your car (cheap price for fast sale).

LOL.

Nice try but no cigar! I don't drive!

Quick update - Started 'matched betting' over the weekend - signed up with an advice site which guided me through and I'm glad to say that I've made almost £40

Still behind with my target though

But still - that's £160 in! Cosumerpulse is going well - considering the amounts of shopping I did last weekend, I should be able to get another £10.

Just received an email from a research agency who's offering to give £200 to test some games next week. Only trouble is that I don't know if they have evening slots - they're saying they have slots morning / afternoon and evening but morning/afternoon slots preferable.

I think I love driving too much to give up my car!

How did you manage to get into CP? I thought it was invite only...?

It is - I randomly got a letter in the post from them (I probably put my name down without knowing) inviting me!!

Quick update!

I'm up £10 in vouchers thanks to Consumerpulse raising my total to £170!

Unfortunately, I was rejected from the games research focus group - though it was just as well, as it would take up every evening of next week!! Yep - which means no Apprentice and no Gossip Girl!!

I'm actually getting into this matched betting melarchy. Just signed up with a new offer and it says my initial loss will be £1.63 which isn't too bad! I'm guessing I will net about £15 judging from past performance. Since I have a small deadline, I might take the plunge on multiple offers, now that I know it works.

The only thing is, the site claims that I can make up to £250 based on the 11 offers they have on there, which is about £40 short of my target.. Anyway, I have dropped them a quick email to ask if they're going to have more offers as I've noticed that on donglemouse's thread, there are way more than just 12!!

EDIT: Should actually be £170 + £40 from matched betting (therefore £210)!! But since I haven't finished these offers on the site, I won't count until I cash out when my challenge's deadline is up!
