    Bit of a lurker here... I've started on page one and I'm gonna read through the thread but I was wondering - when you register to the survey sites etc do you use a specific email address - it's just I don't want the ones I use to end up full of junk mail?

    Welcome to the thread PepPop :D

    I just use my same email. I've not noticed an increase in junkmail since starting up though :)

    I got £10 thorntons voucher from CP yesterday.
    £5 amazon from BP
    £10 amazon from MS
    And I'm now on 75,000 on TL - I can almost smell a redeem coming!

    I contacted mysurvey about my missing amazon and the lady very kindly sent me a detailed email explaining where to access the code (you can basically see it on the website once they've sent it). My voucher must have gone to junkmail.

    There are a couple of sites I'm not on yet - maximiles and sony? Can anyone refer me to either of these?

    Also, does anyone have an idiot guide to what I'm doing on woohoo? I've been reading FAQs etc, but sometimes an explanation helps. Thanks to those who figured out the best way to do BP, not playing til I'm back over 5000 now :D

    I did a Vista order yesterday and it tracked today. Those doing them, the way I get it to track (well most of the time) is I go to TCB in Chrome (or a different browser to what you normally use), then I clear cookies before actually signing in to TCB. This means when you go to Vista through it they know where you are coming from and know where to pay the cash back to. I then open my email in the other browser (Firefox but could be any) and click through to get a freebie, go right through to the end then close the page and go back through my email again and so on until I have the four things in the basket. Then I go back to the other browser (Chrome) and look in my basket and there are the freebies and it tracks. Hope this helps someone.

    My ExMil asked me to knit a baby cardigan for her Great Grandaughter, she gave me the wool and pattern so didnt have to pay out for it and she is going to pay me for knitting it. Started it last night while watching tv and I have finished all the knitting already, just need to stitch it up and sew on buttons. Not sure how much I will get but I will add it to my spread sheet.

    Managed to put another £6 in my £2 coin tin today. I used some last week to buy some fabrics (some for a present and some for myself) but think I must have about £20 or more in there at the moment.

    Surveynetwork is up to near the cash out level which is really good. Just need to do a couple more surveys, think its on about £18.

    Still nothing on Toluna for my opinions. I have given up writing them now until I get something for them.

    Need to sort out a Doou review but dont know what to review lol. Will leave it until tomorrow morning and see if I can come up with something. We are in the middle of watching a film so if we finish that off tonight I can do that.

    Just ordered a Notebook, Pen, Mug and stickers with Home-Made by Kimberly on them :) Mug is for my friend Sharon, so is the notebook, it has the horse design on it. Cost me 4.39 and I went the TCB. Hope it tracks. Then I got it for nothing :) Quality. Im only going to do one a month. I hope to get Notebooks, Pens and mugs for everyone. I think I will order lots of stickers on each order and I can put them on my stuff when I make them for gifts.

    The Canvas bags are nice as well. :)

    Welldone Rufus,

    Im not getting anywhere with the sites, Seemingly a single mum of a 3yr old that doenst drink in scotland is no use to any survey :rofl: so im not fussing over it. I enjoy the BP and if I can get 10.00 a month on that for amazon, that will do a few gifts :)

    There is a new video for 5 points on Maximiles today. I won twice last night on the Bedtime guaranteed pots which means I'm on target to redeem again on Wednesday as long as I don't get carried away playing bingo on BP. I'll be back later to do an idiot guide to Woohoo.

    Thank you so much for the vista, got myself business cards, postcards, a banner and a bag all free, did not see the notebooks or labels until too late but will order again, they have also tracked at £10 on quidco!!! All for my new plans to start my wedding jewellery business adventure :-)

    I have joined woohoo too, won a few times but wish you could put it on auto, should get a redeem this week on bp, did anyone get the 10,000 points on looney for the skin cream test? i never got the cream to test yet!!
