    I'm pretty fed up of vista and tcb too lol. Think I'm going to stick with Quidco from now on.

    I couldn't get the free items I wanted plus cashback, as no matter what I tried, including opening up different browsers, refreshing, closing screens signing through cashback again - nothing worked.

    I still think if you use the links and get reduced postage it is still a really good deal. I paid £3.17 for 1 canvas bag, a pen, a notebook and a small banner for dd's birthday.

    I think I will go through quidco and use the offers that come up as free there (postcards, business cards, photo magnets, invitations, Rubber stamp, t-shirt and post it notes) to get the cashback, in theory covering the cost of both orders.

    Where can you see the free photo magnets, t-shirts, postcards and post it notes?
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:

    thanks for your replies. I tend to use TCB rather than quidco as I haven't used quidco this year and most of what I get will go on admin fees. but if I do several orders it will be worth it. will have a look at quidco later.

    When you click through the quidco link it's on the first page that loads up. You may have to make sure you're not signed into Vistaprint first.

    Just read through and rated your review, I liked it, straight to the point and would be ideal for someone like me who wants a quick review to read before taking the plunge. Some people like to put the specs, the equipment you need to use it, games available, price, where you can buy it from, size of the kinect itself.

    I don't really know to be honest. I avoid reviews on anything electronic as there is so much to write about I bore myself :rotfl:I tend to stick to make up reviews, toiletries and kids toys/books/games.

    In fact I'm going to be posting a bunch of reviews on soap and glory later, when the kiddies are in bed so will catch up on everyones.

    Thank you savvy. I didnt put any price or spec info on as when you search a product that info is alreadt there on thing I have seen.
    I was a bit put off the site after the message from another member but will get over it and keep trying to improve.
    I will look at some toys later may be a bit easier.
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:

    Looney is Toluna a survey site.

    Payment when you reach 80,000 points, which is equivalent to £15. The payment is made by paper voucher, and you can choose where to spend it. There’s HMV, love to shop (these can be spent at a variety of stores with just the one voucher), Debenhams, CD WOW, Halfords and Amazon (E Voucher but not instantly). This is the bugbear with toluna, payment can take anything from 8 – 12 weeks, and it’s a bit hit and miss.


    Thank you ! Sorry just thought I was missing out !

    Thank you

    I find it easy to review toys too, that's why most of my reviews are for toys my son has :D. They are only level 2, so worth 300 points, but I can whip those reviews out quickly so it's still worth it.
    I bought a new kettle and microwave yesterday, ready for the new kitchen, so I might have to force myself to review those. I too hate reviewing electrical things but at 600 points each I might have to try.
    I'll try to find your review now :)

    Hope yours tracks at £10 like mine :j.
    I seemed to have messed up my vista orders now. I tried to do the t-sirt with a pic befor I realise it then charged for the pic. Now when i try to do anythig it autmatically puts a picture on it.
    I can delete the picture but then there are still none of the normal images to put on things instead???
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:
