2007 Olympic Challenge

suekjw

Had a result on Bingo Liner through Quidco. Paid £10 which gave me £25 credit. Put All of it on Bingo and won £25.25 but it won't let you withdraw under £40. I went to the Slot machines and won £80 didn't know what I was doing (had it on auto) and by the time I had stopped I was on £77!! Withdrew it obviously!

You have to wait 48hours - I think they hope you will reverse your decision and gamble it all away.

With the Quidco £20 that's £87 profit!

hi, thought i would also post how we've made our total so far

ebay = 750.38
quidco = 95.72
coin = 8
amazon = 8.67

ebay total has been achieved by being ruthless and selling all clutter including furniture that was in our loft and not being used.

good luck everyone

Wow! how did you manage £246.15 cashback with Quidco??

Most of that was cashback from my Home Insurance last year. I seperated Home and Contents insurance and went with two different insurers. The total cost was still cheaper than my renewal premium from my previous insurance and I got:

£120 from Lloyds TSB
£125 from Barclays
Also got a few pence from daily clicks at High Street Web and some cashback from a Christmas present bought from Play.

Lots of people also make loads of money from Quidco by placing bets as part of Matched Betting but I haven't ventured into that yet. It makes my brain hurt just reading the explanations of how it works. I have promised myself to give it a go later in the year when I've got more time! :rolleyes:

Everyone is doing really well,keep it up! At this rate we will need more levels to hit!
Well done suekjw, quite a result you got there with the bingo and slots, I never seem to have any luck with kind of thing.
I have joined pigsback and now have enough points for my first voucher and also joined quidco but keep forgetting to use it ( could kick myself ) I'v managed to save £2.80 today from walking instead of taking the bus, and found 5p for my trouble!

Don't forget that each time you buy via Ebay 'Buy It Now' you could be earning money if you did it via Quidco and other cashback sites instead of directly with Ebay. I think Quidco pay £0.14p per Buy It Now purchase over £3, Nectar.com pay 25 points and so on. Small amount, but something is better than nothing...!

Hi everyone,

My totals have slowed down considerably due to my purse getting pinched a week and half ago, so alongside my id and cards etc I had quite a few vouchers (which were selling on ebay) and some concert tickets (one of which I was keeping for a pal who had bought it from me!) and some new concert tickets which I had bought only five minutes before the dirty deed happened!!

Now the fallback is that I have had to cancel the vouchers on ebay and use my savings to buy replacement tickets for all my pals (x6 tickets = £170 total). To top it all my ebay sales are abysmal.

So I was wondering if anyone could help me!!! I am registered with quite a few 'survey' sites but they are rubbish. You either earn points or be entered into a draw - needless to say I have neither won or received anything from these survey sites even though I have been with them a couple of years and do quite a few a week. Stupid me!!!

Has anyone any idea if there are survey sites where you can earn cash to complete surveys?

Oh yeah and my mystery shopping with Retail Eyes and GRGResearch are both very slow and not very well paid (I've have 4 in total in over a year and been paid about £30)

So not only am I feeling sorry for myself but I need a big kick up the bum to get me motivated again.

Any ideas will be very gratefully received!!

Thanks and keep up the good work everyone

Hi T,

Can't think of any instant ones - but if you are prepared to wait 10-12 weeks, you could get £75-£100 from cashback sites where you only click the free links? There is no spending required.

I am doing this now, started 2 weeks ago, and already have over £26 across all 4 sites I use. This even excludes Pigsback and Quidco earnings from nothing (ie, also not spending anything), so I will earn more than £100 by April, having spent nothing.

This takes 10-15 mins per day and does need a strict routine, so I have an A4 wall reminder thingy, and that way I don't forget anything.

Sorry it's not instant like you wanted but if you are interested PM me and I will gladly help as it was an MSER who got me started and I want to repay this (pay it forward as it were) x

Hello, I have been with quite a few survey sites for a while now and probably the most lucrative for me has been globaltestmarket.com. As I have been told and will tell you, it's not going to bring in wads of cash and especially not within this timescale. Which ones are you with and I will tell you ones you could try.
