    Claire - did you email them and ask them for cash on collection, that's what i would do too! It's better all round.

    Giggles - I'm glad you're all sorted and at least you got your money back.

    Aspella - thanks for helping out

    Bunbun - don't be downhearted. Check to see how many points you've spent on Bingoport, in the 'your profile' bit and scroll to the bottom. Add up all the points used yesterday and keep a note as the week runs from Thursday morning until Wednesday 10pm. You can play all 2,000 points in one day if you like, but as you have to go to the site to post everyday, it's easier to do them then. HTH

    Legend On no to DS. It'll happen a lot now he's mixing with other kids. Make sure you use separate towels etc, as it spreads like wildfire.

    Twinklekat - I made werthers toffee vodka at christmas. It was nice, especially icy cold, but it nearly blew my head off. LOL

    Tranmere - well done on quidco paying out for holiday cahsback. I had one payout this week from May! My lovely Radley purse, I bought three in the sale, and they were on buy two get one free, so I ebayed the two for more than they cost me, and kept the freebie. ;)

    Oooo I don't know what to do? DO I email back and say you can have it for £?? if you arrange to come and pick it up before Tuesday morning, cash on delivery? Can I wait that long to take the listing down? Once there's bids, can I take the listing down?? (There isn't yet, but there's 12 people watching!) It's currently due to finish 3pm next Wednesday......

  • Thanks to Espellas help I am now away on Bingoport! I have done my first 10 posts on the forum so thats me done for today :D. Just to make sure I have got it right...

    You earn 100 points per post up to a maximum of 1000 (10 posts) per day, so ideally you need to do 10 a day but this isnt a 'have to do.'
    To be able to redeem the points you have earned doing forum posts you have to have played at least 2000 of them per week. This is a 'must do.'
    The week runs 00.01 Thurs till 23.59 weds.

    Please correct me if I am wrong :D

    Once there's bids on it you'll have a job cancelling it. I did it at Christmas, and I wouldn't ever do it again!!!

    Just email them asap and get to pick it up asap.


    Susie - LOL at your OH getting addicted to bingo - My OH would too, if it made him some more money. :)

    You don't have to post at all, but this is how you make your points.

    If you didn't win, sooner or later you'd have none left, so as you can't redeem until you make 10,000 points AND play 2,000 bingo it is best if you do.

    You are trying to make some money, if you were just playing for fun, there wouldn't be any need.

    For the benefit of the 2,000 points spent on bingo the week runs as you've posted above, but you need to redeem by 10pm on a Wednesday in order to have the Amazon voucher processed that week. If it's after 10pm Wednesday it'll be done the following Thursday - not a great hardship, but it motivates you a bit ;)

    ETA: For speed, it's best to play 18 games on auto (top right hand corner) and do five posts. Then repeat it over again. :)

    We all meet up in one of the rooms, and have a natter between 8-9pm as the jackpot is higher. Once you got the hang of it, you might like to join us. :)

    Oh yes I know I just wanted to make sure I knew what HAD to do and what I was doing to try and maximise how much money I could make. I may not have time to post 10 posts every day so I just wanted to make sure this wasnt essential like playing 2000 points is.

    You can close a listing anytime. You have to give a reason - I always click "item no longer available" tbh.

    mayfair - that made me chuckle, hugs in a non weird way :rotfl::rotfl:


    Been out to charity shops today, its our local one and ventured in when i went to change my library books, got a new quilt set for DS whos off to uni in september when he decides which one. It was £2.99 , great really as this was my first attemp of collecting things for him

    Got a squirrel badge/pin for OH (he loves them) for his birthday 25p, so put it into a gift box looks more, and some bath bombs for 10p so pleased with that.

    Had a redeem on Bingoport which was ace.

    Am currently doing a survey for T on wrinkle cream, need it to the state of my wrinkles.

    Elysia - tried to get my OH on bingo, hes totally confused and thats justthe registration details
