Esmer you have to play 2,000 worth of points over the 7 days.

That makes it 285 points per day, divided by 2 points per ticket =143. So if you play the maximum 24 tickets 7 times OR 18 tickets for 10 games, 6 days a week, you should be covered. You have to post on the forum everyday to get your 1,000 bonus (10 posts at 100 bp's each), so make sure you do the posts while your playing on auto.Hope that helps.

Thanks for this, is there a way to see how many games you have played? I went in tonight, and I played and lost count :rotfl: I also posted on the forum.

Bingoport - I now have 3000 points.
Toluna - 5085
One Poll - No Surveys??

A very long way to go :rotfl:

Esmer - you go into 'Your Profile' and scroll right down to the bottom. You can see how many games you have played and how many posts you have made. I have to double check, because the posting on the forum, is so monotonous (not like this one) that I foget how many I've done.

ETA: On Toluna, on the homepage, there's a section that says personal recommendations. Some of the polls says click to vote - there is varying amounts of points if you vote. I only vote on the ones where you get the extra points as some of them you don't. Quite often you will get the chance of an extra survey when you vote. It really bumps your points up if you do this every couple of days. Don't just wait for the ones they send you, or you won't be able to redeem untill next Christmas

ETA: again LOL. Onepoll, they don't have surveys over the weekends I've noticed, but check regularly during the week. There can be three in the morning and when you check back an hour later, there's another couple. They are extemely quick to do, so you should see your money mount up quickly.

HTH.

Don't worry about your totals - you've made a great start, that's the main thing.

esmer

Thanks again for that!

Hi Esmer the spreadsheet can be downloaded on the first post. It's very helpful for entering all your totals in. I accidently deleted mine last year (oops), so I had to go into each site and figure out how much I had earned. I've downloaded mine again already - it'll be great to see the totals mount up.

Hello Gemini - It's lovely to see you again.

Uh Oh - gotta go - our puppy thinks he's in the andrex ad and is shredding toilet paper!!!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl:

Ah - what have you got, - sorry had a smile at the thought of the andrex ad....... ours is now 18mths old and a demanding diva with everyone twisted round his little paw........if I do any cooking I have to sit down, if I get up for anything he jumps on the seat at double quick notice.... xx

Hi, I have joined Bingoport and already a member of lots of survey sites. Cashed in Global so should recieve a cheque soon.
Look forward to joining you all and having a cost free Christmas 2011, thankyou

elysia2003

Well done Restricted. I'm proud of you for taking the plunge. Every penny earned is a penny less you have to find next Christmas.

Mswan - are there any more survey sites you could join? Just try another one, if you can. Well done on your cash out. That's a brilliant start.

I had saved £105 in Boots points over the year - and yesterday I spent them on Next years presents so totally Neutral!!! I would normally save them for the 75% sale but they were mostly designer perfume sets that wouldn't get reduced any further, so I got them while they were still there. I couldn't believe it - people were grabbing ten of each fragrance. Where do they find the money? The lady in front of me must have spent at least £1,000 and most of it was half price stuff.

I stocked up on half price wrapping paper and ribbons on bows etc too (from Marks online). I reckon I've spent about £15 on that but should have cost £45 - I would NEVER have spent that amount on paper in the first place, but this is nice quality stuff, and I've got enough for about three years with what I already have stashed in the loft. Very MSE.

Sainsburys have wrapping paper for only 60p a roll (was £1.99) if you're passing.

Hello everyone,

Long time lurker, and have bucked up the courage to post here and introduce myself

Little about me, I work FT as a fundraiser for a charity and my OH is in the armed forces. He has a boy aged 7 and we have two boxer dogs. We're hoping to get married this year and have a small low key thing costing about £5-7k ish , move to married quarters and start properly saving for a house. Although we both work we are terrible at saving (I think I have about £2.30 in my ISA...).

I've been doing surveys for the past year or so and this went towards about 50% of the present expenditure this year which is better than nothing! I'm a member of OnePoll, GTM, Valued Opinions, Toluna, the one you get luncheon vouchers for, MySurvey, IAP and Beverage Insiders.

I have also got my own business which I started in October selling soley on eBay at the moment but hoping to have my own online shop soon. It's never going to make me millions but it meant that we didn't have to fork out to put the dogs in kennels for the weekend to go see my parents or to get him the snip (dog not OH).

All in all very busy, but looking forward to getting to know you all over the next year
