    Forgot to add - Cornish. I wrote a review last night. I was trying for half an hour to add a photo, and then Chow kept having server probs, but I finally got it added at 12.03am. Just missed the deadline by the skin of my teeth, but I'll do another one today. I'm just a smidge under £73.00. :D One today and one tomorrow should do it. ;)

    Elysia do you mind if I use last years Spreadsheet as I dont understand how this one would work with the sites that collect points? I like to write down how many points I have each month so I can see which sites I have been working hard on and which to make an effort on? Is that ok?

    You could add a new section to show your ponts or add a new page/tab which shows monthly points totals?

    I have added a few pages to include other information I used on my own spreadsheet last year and saves me having to back up several files. I have put in gifts received and given, sites that I am joined up to as I end up forgetting about some of them etc

    I have decided my aims are,

    Post four reviews per week - would hope to do more but this is the minimum - currently have 19 to post onto DY from C so good headstart.
    Check SB, OP and T everyday
    Check Viva at least twice a week
    Keep up with surveys from ips, MS and VO
    Only post on C when there is a good promo

    Hopefully the rest will slot into place somewhere!!

    Morning all! Just a quick question for Savvy or anyone else who is on Sony! What is going on with the point system now! I have completed loads this morning and only got 19 points! Have they changed it all again! I am so going to struggle t hit 50 points by tomorrow on 3 accounts if its only 1 point per quick thoughts and seems brainstorms dont get you any points? Anyone fancy giving me the low down?


    Same problem for me Legendmum. Email the sony email address at thats at bottom of every email they send and tell them. Its a problem on the website and they had to add my points for me manually. Really annoying tho :mad:.

    Hi everyone. Lurked all year and made a tidy sum. Xmas was money neutral :T and very luxurious for once thanks to this thread. Iv come to join in for 2011. Hope thats ok? x

    No points are the same. 5 points for brainstorm, 2 for polls, 1 point for quick thoughts and I think 1 point for voting on the mymix tape thing.
    The points system has been down since they changed the site, hope they fix it soon. However I emailed and the next day all my points were added on both of my accounts. x

    In the supersonic bit there is often a 5 pointer that can be watched a nuber of times... you have to go out then click back on earn/special offers/supresonic/vids and it will reappear a number of times.. in the case of the scary one that is there at the moment, it can be watched about 4-5times before it vanishes totallt.

    However it has reappeared for the last 3 days for me so ive had 25pts a day just off that.

    Also do random searches for a few minutes.... I often get 2-4 'wins' a day by doing that... any random words can generate a win xxx

    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.
