How does rewardTV work for points/vouchers?

You can only get vouchers from RewardTV by being fastest finger first on the shopping spree. I'd only recommend RewardTV if you have a fast broadband connection.

Points - answer questions on programmes that have been on ITV1, Channel 4/5 & Sky1 between 6pm and midnight. You get 100 points for each correct answer. At the start of every month there are surveys worth 2,500 - 7,500 points plus 2 movie surveys every weekend for 10,000 points.

Shopping spree (click on reward tab) happens once a week between 9am - 3.30pm where you can exchange points for vouchers. There are only 30 vouchers up for grabs so its fastest finger first. 75,000 points for £5 voucher, 100,000 for £10 and 125,000 for £15. The vouchers come in the form of bonus bonds so don't let the fact it states Mothercare, Signet etc put you off claiming that voucher.

My tip is to set an alarm so you don't forget, close any webpages you have open, clear all your cookies and log on with 1 or 2 minutes to go. Watch the time countdown, then hit the redeem button that appears under the name of the store. A new page will open, scroll down and fill in 4 character code. If you are successful it will ask for your password and you'll be able to confirm your details.

You can get paid for joining RewardTV via various cashback sites.
£1.70 Quidco, £1.23 Topcashback, £1.20 Getpoundsback.

Another drawback is that vouchers are sent out in batches so it can take 3 to 4 months before you receive the voucher.

I keep getting emails from survey network with out of date surveys on them, anyone else having this issue?

Annie - I don't get any survey emails from Survey Netw0rk - I just work down the list on the homepage.

Hi everyone - I've been sat at my computer for hours, but the internet is playing up again. I'll read a couple of posts and it'll go off again. Theres a loose connection somewhere - not sure if it's inside my computer or the actual broadband. Hey ho.

Michelle - how lovely to have a new computer. Mine is only just 12 months old, but it hasn't half had a bashing. I did start to save up for a new one - but I've so many big birthdays this year, I might have to get one on the CC too. The tablet is no good for surveys.

Rufus - Oh No - I feel your pain. I can't do anything with him here. I thought DD was back to school on Wed too, but she has teacher training so it's Thurs. I love them really.

Forgot who said what now - my comp has played up terribly. Oh Aspella - great Idea about the referral bit. I'll do that while I remember.

Elysia- maybe turn everything off including internet, unplug everything then put it all back again. i usually do that and it works fine again something cables might be loose or it might just need some jigging about xx

Thanks hollie, that really has helped, i think i'm going to get my draw on tomorrow and really get these done up. I really wish i knew how to use a paint programme like gimp, corel or photoshop etc but i get so baffled :eek:

Ach i feel optimistic and then i feel so stuck, like i'm really want to get going and can't (if that makes sense) I was put into a medical menopause and really feel like i'm having a mid life crisis,

I was getting bullied at work but some of the girls and one of the bosses :mad: and was in a predicament. Didn't know whether to stick it out (and make money) or tell them to stuff it (as i never let anyone speak to me like that) Eventually i quite.

So i feel panicked now about that, I have chronic health problems and really hate not working (the injections i get have given me my life back so to speak) i hate feeling like 'disabled'

So there we go, enough about me and the 'hole' that i'm in. :rotfl::rotfl:

I wanted to ask, have you all made your own spreadsheets or downloaded them from somewhere???

Evening all!

Had another busy 9 hour shift at work, went really quick so cant complain. I work at mr T's and they reduced lots of the christmassy bits by 75% today so along i went to the seasonal isle on my lunch hour. There was quite a few bits i liked when they were 50% off although i was just hanging out as i knew it wouldnt take long for them to be reduced futher.

Anyway i managed to get about 8 gift bags, 3 packs of christmas cards, snowflake tissue paper and organza bags and some tags for about £3.50 then i got my 10% discount on top of that so paid just over £3 for about £12 worth of gear, thats me all sorted in that front for christmas 2012 :j i already have tons of wrapping paper left although sure i will end up buying more, its like an addiction!

Finally got a day of work tomorrow so apart from taking the decs down hoping to make a start on getting some stuff listed on ebay to make my first £50 of the year, did very well on ebay last year so hoping for another sucessful year. Im going to empty my paypal so i can start fresh for the new year. Ive got mums birthday on 8th feb so would be great if i could make enough money to cover her present - not that i actually know what it is yet.

Just done a few rates and going to do a few more then try and get another review wrote tonight, ive really got the bug :rotfl:

Hope everyones had a nice day

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all having a positive start to the new year.

Sorry about your computer probs Elysia, hope you get sorted.

Welcome to all the newbies today x

Have had my first redeem of the new year through for £5 amazon from SB, only ordered it Friday. Alread have over 300sb in 3 days so won't be long till my next redeem.

Have also put 5 items of clothing on Ebay and will try and list another 5 tomorrow. Does anyone know if there is a limit as a private seller? I have listed 11 items so far but they are all old either dvds or clothes.
