HelenPie's Big Year

HelenPie

Update on the bingo/cashback profits:

I don't have all the figures to hand but am now up about £140 before cashback and £376 after :T:j:T:j

Will monitor what tracks and keep an eye out for new deals. I think I'm now registered with all of the big names though so will be tough to get any more

I hope my big win from Heart will reach my account in the next day or so, which will cover all of the deposits, then anything else plus cashback will go to the credit card (or possibly a new tv as we go digital in 2 months.....;))

Helen, it should have worked now?

HelenPie

I do have £10 now It's a pain as I can't see who it's from but I assume that you've got yours now?

Just a note that the minimum withdrawal is £10 so if you're still waiting for your £5 welcome bonus then I would wait for that before you withdraw (i.e. take out the £15 at once);)

God they are annoying... any way to keep your cash!

ETA: Thanks for the warning though.... I have to confirm my DOB before they let me withdraw though. I notice they don't bother confirming your age BEFORE you start gambling! If the cashback tracks, with the bonuses I've still made £12.80 after my c0ckups thanks

You're welcome! Thanks is really to Kerri - I was her post that made me start all of this

£12.80 isn't bad for a bit of fun. Why only £12.80 though? Surely you should have at least £10 for referral + £5 for welcome bonus + £5 profit for cashback.....? (less any extra you had to spend to get the £10)....

Anyway. Still a good turn out :cool:

I ended up depositing £20 because of the silly wagering thing, I didn't realise til I checked that I could withdraw it again so I was left with £2.80 of my second deposit. So £15 cashback, £10 bonus, £5 welcome bonus is £30 minus the £17odd that I had to wager

Oh I see. Give Tombola a go via TCB, too. That's an easy £10.20 x

Time for an update.

I'm still dragging my heals far too much in relation to my previously stated tasks but instead I have:

*Used the freebe code in Martin's email to order a Valentine's card for OH
*Upped my confirmed bingo profits to £194.16, or £289.56 with cashback already tracked, and £442.88 if all cashback comes good. Also referred a couple of friends/family so will get £10 for each if anyone signs up.
*Transferred our wedding savings to my credit card to reduce the interest payments (keeping electronic schedules of how much belongs to the wedding fund and how much my debt still stands at)
*Signed up to Netflix....think I may have messed up a bit here. I knew that Qi1dc0 had a £15 cashback offer on so started to sign up via them but couldn't see anything about the M&S voucher offer. Re-read Martin's email and clicked on the special link....top of the page mentioned the vouchers and I was instructed to complete my sign up. I'm now not sure if I'm going to qualify for either the vouchers or the cashback for messing around with it (though if I'm really lucky I may get both!!)
*NOT* purchased today's Sun newspaper for the £5 off £40 Mr M voucher as I don't need to spend even £35 this week (and don't have it even if I did )
*Ordered printer ink online and got two cartridges for the same price as one in the shops, plus 10% cashback already tracked.

Total estimated savings/increased income: £435 (including only already tracked cashback)

On the downside, I bought a pizza last night. It came out of pocket money but terrible for my diet Also out to lunch with colleagues today but we're all on a budget so should be ok :cool:

Hi
You seem to have everything well organised. I was wondering about the bingo etc. How does it work?

HelenPie

Hi Shelski,

Clearly it's not without risk but basically you sign up to bingo websites via cashback sites where the cashback matches or exceeds the required minimum deposit/wagering requirement. The risk is that the cashback doesn't track so you have to be able to afford to spend/lose your deposit in the first place. The potential upside is that you can take advantages of bonuses and have the potential to win money too. Also not something to do if you have any issues with gambling/addiction in general. I'm sure there are boards specifically dedicated to advice and risks/recommendations - I want to make sure I'm not seen to be leading you into anything here....;) Don't know if we're allowed to give advice in these forums, as such :question:

First thing I did was to visit T0p Cash Back and Quidc0. If you haven't registered already, you can easily find them via G00gle or the links below are my referral links (I get a money bonus for referring you...):

• http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/member121452906906
• http://www.quidco.com/user/1723510/

Then I just looked to see which offers are on. I've already had tracked cashback via TCB from T0mbola and via Q from He@rt, Mecc@ and P@ddy P0wer but there are many of them.

Make sure you read the t&c's really well though as there are often exceptions.

This certainly was the case earlier in the week but always subject to change: if you use a referral name on He@rt you and your referrer get £10 each when you've spent £10 (must be spent on bingo, not games). The same is true of Fabulous bingo, though I've yet to find cashback for this site. If you don't have a referrer and want one, you can check out the referrers boards, or use mine which is helenpie. The same is true for many of the sites - just keep an eye out for the option to say you were referred by a friend. I've signed up to a lot of the big names with my username but if you want to be sure, just check with me or visit the referrers for another name. Though I of course would love for you to use me so that I get the bonuses too, I have to be honest and say that the referrals board is probably the fairest way of finding a user

HTH

In other news, I've just remembered that I hadn't claimed for my eye test so have just given an expenses claim to work for £20 :cool: (outstanding since November )
