    Elysia - Welcome back, glad your electricity is finally fixed. Thanks for the mini challenge
    Esmer - those cakes look delicious, just as well I don't live near you, I'd be huge and have no money left if I did.
    Twinklekat - LOL, have fun on your cruise. :rotfl:
    Habibiboo - Welcome to the thread. :wave:

    As requested here is a guide to Woohoo Bingo. It's not an idiot's guide but a lucky/lazy person's guide.
    • Sign in 2 minutes before 7pm and 9pm
    • Click on play to enter a room then press max.
    • Cross your fingers and pray you win 100 or 150 gold.

    Sorry I'm going to take this serious now. Unfortunately there are no shortcuts to getting an Amazon voucher on Woohoo Bingo. You can only get 200 gold stars by winning them or converting silver stars. You can't auto buy tickets so you have to keep pressing max approx every 5 minutes to purchase tickets.

    Play with points! * Win points & stars! * Redeem 200 gold stars for Amazon voucher in the shop!

    You get given at least a 1000 points per day to play with. Every hour there is a super gold or points game i.e. you can win up to 10 gold instead of 1.
    Star conversions:- * 100 bronze for 10 silver * 125 silver for 5 gold * 200 gold for £10 Amazon voucher.
    Jackpots:
    1pm - 30k points up for grabs
    6pm - 1000 silver stars up for grabs
    7pm - first full house winner gets 100 gold stars
    8pm - 50k points up for grabs
    9pm - first full house winner gets 150 gold stars.
    Other ways to get points: Click on challenges (homepage left hand side)
    Surveys and polls - 300 points (there is a new quiz all about the newsletter every Thursday)
    Woohoo review Quiz - 500 points plus 50 recharge
    Opt in for SMS - 500 points plus 300 recharge
    I usually play in the room with the least players, the only downside to this is that there isn't always a CM on duty so if I'm running low on points I go to a room with chat games. You can win 100 points in the chat games. If you have got less than 1000 points then it is worth replying when the CM says who is low as the winner will usually donate to the player with the lowest balance. At the moment I've got 137 gold stars 60% of this has come from converting bronze/silver stars and 40% from winning gold stars.

    Argh keeping getting screened out of T surveys! Doin my nut in...

    Esmer, those cakes look fantastic, wish I was talented like you!


    Twinklekat - you got room in your suitcase lol?

    I am very snotty and struggling to keep awake, but just watching the end of the football :-)

    Managed my first BP redeem today, I have over £50 in Shop & Scan which I keep forgetting about - I cashed the vouchers in last year for Curry's - may use them for days out this year, or maybe even Amazon depending what I need to get later in the year. Every little helps as they say!
    Bought a JS health grill yesterday £14.99 reduced from £49.99 I asked them to check how many nectar points I had to see if I could redeem and had £15 so didn't actually cost me a penny - result or what!
    Had a little win on BP again tonight so starting to build my points up again.
    And just placed my first order on Vista!!!
    Motto: You gotta be in it to win it!:j

    I couldn't find anything either and was wondering the same

    I contacted them via their online contact form, received a response within 20 minutes! They have confirmed I have only ordered four free items and have not signed up to any monthly charges. I guess the reduced postage was a bonus, maybe as I am a new customer? Hopefully topcashback will track meaning I have been paid to order the lovely items.

    It took me ages to get everything just so but I am very happy with the items I ordered, got a mummy notebook and pen, a gorgeous little bag with a pic of dd on and a banner for her birthday. Can't wait to see what they are like they look like they would be fab presents. I noticed that now I have ordered lots of items have come up as free under my account section too.

    Welcome Habibiboo, the more the merrier hun!

    And funny enough my ipsos voucher arrived too, spooookkky!

    Thanks aspella for the guide, will have to have a read through when I have ten mins x

  • Hi all,
    Everyone is doing so well!
    Esmer - those cakes are amazing, whereabouts are you? No wonder they sell well at your workplace!

    I've just done a vistaprint order for my hubbys business, hope quidco tracks. Also have had a link for if anyone wants to be referred to vistaprint, let me know and I will send you the link.

    Sony backstage - unfortunately can't do referrals but will let you know if they are looking for newbies and will have a look to see if ther eis anywhere to 'put your name down' as well. It is a great site, can only earn £5 in amazon a month but it takes literally 10 mins to do, so an extra £60 a year, can't say no to that!

    Few more days and I will be able to redeem another for BP, so easy to do can't believe I wasn't doing it before I looked on this forum so thank-you for teh great advice everyone.

    Toluna has been down for me too, though have been able to do surveys just can't check points or vouchers. Managed a couple of surveys too, just hope they tracked throgh seeing as site is down.

    Good luck over teh next week everyone.

    Ajg - I'm fine. Thankyou very much for asking. Is the money making going ok? If it's too much at once, just do what you can handle. If it's not fun, or worth your while, you'll get fed up.

    Savvy - sorry I wasn't around to answer your question - I was on Vistaprint. LOL. I made a Special Auntie mug, a pen - to Nanny. A notebook,but I put on the front, My Travels for my sister. She's currently in Goa, March she goes to New York and Boston, and December she's off to Australia. She still lives at home (at 38) and got no Kids, so she's got plenty of money. ;). Anyway, she keeps a journal everytime she goes away, so these will be fab. I also bought DD1 some postcards, for the kids she teaches, Just to let you know, your child worked well in class today - or words to that effect. Should have cost £42.70 and only paid £2.59 woohoo.

    Nicola - I'm glad we've helped. BP is nice. It's something that is regular money, and you dn't have to think too much to do it. Just how I like it. LOL

    Legend - take care hun, we will see you tomorrow.

    Foxy - well done on your first redeem on BP.

    TwinkleKat - You had me going then, I believe anything me.

    Sam - If ever you do win the lotto - don't forget your friends. :D

    Aspella - thanks for tips on Wohoo. I'll have to make a note of that, I usually log in, as they are ending. Grr

    Habibiboo - Welcome to the thread. :) You make yourself comfy, because you'll be here for a loonnng time. This money making thing is addictive. :D

    I'm glad you've read through the first posts. The Feb challenge is on Post three if you need to double check. It's up to you, If you find Dooyoo a bit full on, try and list some extra stuff on ebay. We don't mind - you alter the challenges to fit you. ;)

    Clairylulu - woo hoo -:staradmin a gold star for putting in extra effort. I will be on dooU over the weekend to catch up with rates, so I won't miss you I promise.
    I :heartpuls M.S.E.
