***New*** Thrifty Gifty Money Making for Christmas and all occasions 2011***

foxy219

Twinkle you don't have to apologise! We are here for you to moan at if you need to, that's what friends are for! I hope you feel better tomorrow x

Legend - YOU can talk you mean! lol, it is so nice that everyone is so friendly and thrifty so early in the year. Start as we mean to go I say. I am so chuffed that I have had a really good January, and with everyone joining in and helping each other out hopefully it will continue through the year
My dd will be 4 in June, she started afternoon at nursery school in September, and just took it all in her stride and didn't cry one bit - I did!!!!! She will go to full time school next year, and I'm dreading it - she is such a happy soul and I love our one to one time together, the house will be so quiet without both kids during the days I'm not at work!

Bun Bun - 30pp for cg means that you won 30 points on the chat game. It is something set up by the chat master, they choose a game, the one you won on was uppermate, which means that the person below you won the house and you got points just for being above them! I kept willing the one beneath me to win, but it didn't happen! The bully game is the house closest to 50 will win the points. It does take some getting used to, but I'm sure you will get there in the end, and if you haven't a clue - ask! There are enough of us on here that go on BP as well I'm sure someone will be able to help x

Aspella - thank you for the referral xxx

thanks foxy! I am so glad I can come on here and ask questions! also yesterday the game I was playing was donate or keep. does anyone ever keep the points or do most people donate. everyone in the games I played donated. I wouldn't want to keep the points (if i EVER win) and appear mean. Oh so much to learn:rotfl:

Well Bunbun - that's a new one on me, It must be for the Blake fund. Any questions please don't be afraid to ask.

Twinkle - My friend had that dye. One thing that will cheer the kids up - sorry if too much information - but in some people it makes your wee blue. That'll give something for the kids to brag about at school.

Hi,
How did you contact Toluna?
I sent a message via their site when I successfully completed a survey for 10,000 points. But the completed survey failed to return me to the Toluna site afterwards and is not listed under my points pending. They did not reply to my query and it still has not be credited some weeks or more later!
On the other hand I was impressed with Surveynetwork today. A completed survey was paid out at 0p rather than £2.24. Sent them an e-mail and got a reply within 5 minutes and the amount added within 20 minutes! Thats the way to do it!

cheers

Id love to know if you get a reply. I didnt get get credit for that 10,000 points survey too. Have kept the email as proof of where I was directed to./ But it does say it can take 4-6 weeks although thers have been instantaneous. I did the 10000 survey about 2 weeks ago.

Yes members do keep if they are running low or trying to reach redeem i.e. they will say keep ss low (ss stands for so sorry). Most members do donate points to other members though.

Good evening everyone
I have missed you all so much! It's been over a week since I was here last and I've been feeling so lost! We are now back home and all the building work is done. The wall has been knocked down but the kitchen has not been fitted yet. All I have in the way of cooking is a microwave and a kettle, so lots of unhealthy microwave dinners for the next week or so then!

I had a free vistaprint order this week. I got 250 free postcards. I chose a blue and green starry picture and put WELL DONE in big letters on the front. I'm going to use them at school to give to the kids when they do something fab, I think they'll really like them and I'm SO pleased with them, they've made my day

I went though that last May. I've never been so glad to eat vegetables after all those micro meals.

Thanks for the tip off about the postcards. I'll have to get DD1 some, she's doing teacher training. All the schools by us are single entry into reception, but they are all being re-built and going double entry. The school she's doing her work experience at (not local) is going from four to six reception classes. :eek: They are struggling to recruit new staff.

I did today exactly what I did last week and didn't get a reply then!!! Very odd.

When you get a survey invite, right at the bottom is a contact us tab. You click on that and they want to know what the problem was. I said non payment. You add the date, how many points, the title of the survey, and add the link to it. You tell them a brief message what's gone wrong and that's it. I got a reply to say it was in the queue, so to speak, within 5 minutes, and had an email probably about two hours later.


I've done well with surveys today. I had almost a pound on Onepoll. £3 on consumer opinion, £2.63 on Mums the word panel, about 12,000 on Toluna, 70p crowdology and they're just the ones I can remember. It seemed everytime I checked my emails there was another one - not that I'm complaining.

Did it track at all Kelda? Apparently sometimes they track incorrectly, and they update them when the money comes in. This is the reply to two emails I sent this morning. At first I thought they didn't track, but then they did, but only as a prize draw entry. It was one survey which I had to take in two halves, yet I completed them both.

I inform you that after a survey has been closed and no new participants are entering, we have to wait until we obtain the file for payment from the client who has previously analyzed the data. When the list with the participants who qualified for a specific project is sent by the client, we post the points into our members' accounts. Sometimes during this period of time, the participation status in your account may be incorrectly displayed as "Prize Draw Entry" instead of “Project Open”, even if you have successfully completed the study.

Therefore, please don't worry; if you have qualified for this survey, you will be credited for it, even if at the moment you cannot see the right status for this in your account. I kindly ask you to check your account again in a few weeks and let me know if the payment is still missing.



If you go to the points in my account bit, and click on it. It will firstly list all the polls you've taken. Scroll down further and it will be surveys. Check on the date and if it says survey open, they know about it and will give you your points soon. If it says prize draw entry, wait a couple of weeks to see if it changes and if not let them know by the contact us bit at the bottom of the email. HTH
