    There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word which means more to me than any other. That word is England.

    If you shop on-line through PB then the sky is the limit, but just on clickthroughs, sign ups etc I reckon you will get £50 - £100 in a year. Pretty broad estimate because it depends on your activity + you may get lucky on a quiz or 2.:T

    Gosh!! I think I will be pretty active daily..do all the click throughs each week...
    do they have new sign ups often? can you earn regular points for quiz's or is it a case of "if you win...." rather than automatic points?

    I was hoping for around £30 in a year so anything more than that is amazing!!!

    I too recently bought something from StrawberryNET and was charged £19.22 to collect my parcel from the post office (£15.22 & £4 post office fee) which i wasn't expecting and has added to the cost of my item! I also bought something via E-bay that was sent from Hong Kong & didnt incur charges. :confused: When you contacted StrawberryNET what did you say for them to issue you a refund for this charge as i'm thinking of trying to do the same!

    StrawberryNET will cover any customs whacking, but understand that they don't have to. You need to fax/photograph/scan your receipt and send it to them.

    You get customs whacked when the cost of your goods are over £18 (£36 if it is marked as a gift). It is also a bit of a lottery, so you may not get whacked when you are meant to.

    My friend signed up about 8/9 months ago, she only logs in a couple of times a week to do the points quizzes, clickthroughs and points sign ups and has purchased 1 cd via the old reporo offer. She has had £40 so far this year and has today reached 2000 points so she has earned herself £60 for not alot of time per week.
