    Today I have;

    Used the £5 off a £35 spend voucher on the Lidl facebook page. Bought some cheap croc shoes for hols from their weekly deal. Bought a pair of imitation converse boots they had too for £7.99. Also got 2 lots of diced chicken breasts 30% off.

    Entered above shoe purchases in CP.

    Onepolling & Nectar adpointing.

    Redeemed £5 Amazon voucher from MySurvey.

    Put some petrol in having looked on Petrolprices.com to find my local one is cheaper than the supermarket ones at the mo.

    Ripped up some old pjs to make some dusters/rags

    Moved some money to ISA and just need to top it up on Monday with some of my current account money but need to do the Halifax shuffle first :)

    Food from freezer tonight and possibly some homemade elderberry wine from last year :)

    Plodding away at Swag bucks, it such a bore..

    £2.45 MoCs on a £20.00 Tesco shop..

    Hi usa1,

    I ve noticed in a lot of your posts on here that you manage to redeem quite a bit on various survey/swagbucks type sites. Would you mind me asking which ones you would recommend? I do a few (swagbucks, ipsos, panelbase, myvoice, mypaidopinion, mysurvey, p!nec0ne, onepoll, yougov, VO) but would like to join a few more if its not too time consuming :)

    Many thanks :D

    Hi Linz

    Thanks for the post. I do most of the sites you do too. I probably spend more money on electricity as many of them are wrist-slitting tedium:rotfl: . And takes forever to pay out.


    If you don't belong to Shop & Scan , Petrol Panel, Food on the Go and CP, sign up on the below link.


    http://www.volunteer4panels.com/


    http://uk.vivatic.com/refer-a-friend/31330

    Vivatic pays about a £1 for surveys and £1.50 per month for 50 internet searches and pay out is via pay pal at £25.00


    http://www.maximiles.co.uk/

    Try Maximiles for surveys, click-on ads and short surveys, Its the usual vouchers: sainburys, asda, m&s and Amazon

    For American sites:

    http://www.surveysavvy.com/?m=2243039 pays out in cheques over 2.00, its about 2.00-5.00 per survey.

    http://www.rewardingways.com/how?ref=usa123 pays out right away over 1.00 to pay pal or Amazon codes.

    http://www.surveymad.com/?refid=19544 - like Rewarding Ways,


    I will never be a millionairess, but it helps kill a couple of hours in the evening and I cant make large mortgage over payments, like others on this forum. So it all helps.
