    I've been using gratis points for last few months and I think its brill. Ive had no problems with it at all, u earn points for taking survey's. Ive earned £30 so far and got another £15 on the way.
    2300 = £15 of amazon vouchers of different vouchers. 2500= £15.50 via paypal. theres higher amounts too.
    the 1st time I cashed out I used my points on amazon vouchers(they send u an email with the voucher code on it) and u just enter the code on amazon via check out. 2nd time I used paypal and money was in my paypal account within days. I would highly recommend it, I have to my mates.

    Hey,

    I've just requested Amazon Voucher on here as i'm at 2300 points, does anyone know what the value of the voucher is as it does not say on the website? Is it £5?
    House Deposit: £28,000 and still saving!

    Just found this thread, but I had posted the following on the survey thread on the Freebies forum:-

    The one that's becoming a pain is GratisPoints. I've emailed them a couple of times about my login suddenly no longer being remembered, despite ticking 'Remember me' each time I have to log in.

    I got no reply, though the FAQ says "All queries will be answered within 3 business days" and, on the Rewards page, it says, "We value your feedback".

    Now I’ve not had a single survey for nearly three weeks, though I used to find at least one or two a day, usually more.

    And I received no email confirmation of my last reward, but I unexpectedly just found an entry on the Rewards page of the website with the Amazon code on it.

    Is GratisPoints still going?

    Yes, the website's still up and running, but has anyone had any surveys in the last few weeks? And has anyone received any response to emails sent?

    I agree, Tony, I had found them as good as any, up till the beginning of last month (or thereabouts).

    Over the weekend I qualified for a couple of surveys out of 6 or seven that were waiting for me.Today I redeamed some points and that appears to have been accepted without problem (in saying that it was a bit difficult with ie9 stating display only secure content etc).I didnt receive an immediate confirmation email but my reward is showing as pending in my account.
    Hope this is a help Biggles.

    Just an update on my previous post. all was going well with gratis points until about 1 month ago. I've earned about £60 over the last few months but have noticed recently how slow they are marking off the surveys we do. super slow and whats worse is I earned 2500points which is £15 and they have confirmed they sent the money into my paypal account but I never received an email and its not in there and its normally in about 3 days after they confirm it on there website.

    weather there clamping down on the surveys cause there giving away so much money and maybe they figure if they mark of the surveys slow they pay less money out I dunno but gratis points has defo gone down hill for me. Ive always got about 1000 points still pending and have done for weeks. im not doing anymore surveys for them until the surveys Ive done have been marked off. Ill keep u updated if they pay me my £15 thats owed but im not holding my breath and will stop using the service if they gunna be like that.

    I've recently been paid by Gratis Points. The money took a little while to go into my Paypal account but that isn't unusual with survey sites. They often have a pay day when they pay everyone out. I received £15.99 into my account. If you contact them they're very helpful. Also, if you don't qualify for a survey they give you ten points for trying.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    I have recently reached 2,500 points, which is when I thought I would be available to claim a PayPal reward - although it isn't clear how much you get. Of course I do have a few surveys still pending (one from the beginning of February), and until they earn through I won't be able to claim.

    And then I noticed yesterday that Gratis Points have suddenly switched the PayPal reward from 2,500 (just when I get there!!) to 5,000 points - which means that I would have to earn double the points. I'm really ticked off about this, and have sent them an email asking them to reconsider. I'm not holding my breath, though. I seem to remember them doing something similar with one of the rewards earlier, although I could be wrong about this.

    Grrr. :(
    :A A million thanks to everyone who posts :A
