Paying for a trip with "Free Money"

I always like to save where I can, and get things from free when I can, but I have set myself a pretty hefty challenge...

The sport I play has some massive tournaments in the USA, and I want to pay for a trip, flights and accomodation, to go play a tournament so that if I don't cash it wont have cost me much!

I don't mind making small amounts at a time, so am wondering if you guys have any ideas of making a few extra quid here and there online?

So far, I have several webised set up with adsense adverts, and have saved a little over £300 from that.. I also have adverts set up on my youtube vides which makes a little money. I was doing a little online gambline on "pretty much dead cert's" but that makes only a few pense here and there..

Finally, I recently signed up for a tesco clubcard, and will buy everything and all my petrol at tesco from now on!

My plan/hope is to be able to pay a large chunk of the flight with clubcard points (I think so far I could get about £10 off a flight haha) and then pay the rest of the flight plus about a week's accomodation with "free money"..

I know everyone is looking to make a few quid here and there, but any ideas or suggestions you guys may have would be great :)

    ....tesco?
  • I don't follow at all.. Are you implying I get paid by tesco to use their name?? You realise how stupid that sounds?

    Or do you mean google adsense?

    Are you suggesting using either of these company names is against forum rules??

    Perhaps you could explain?
