Hi all,
I am well chuffed today. I logged into I*sos to see how many points I had (over 2000) and only needed 1380 for a £10 amazon voucher. After placing the order I had the voucher in my inbox within 10 minutes, really impressed with that. When I went to Amazon to put it in my account I realised I had £80 just enough for my Ipod dock. When I went to order it out of curiosity I checked the used ones and there was a like new refurbished one with a 12 month warranty so I ordered that. Hope it works out ok as I have saved £26 (£53 instead of £79)
Will it be ok to count this £26 in my challenge as I am really struggling to finish this month by about £69.
So excited though as I will have got an Ipod and dock for doing surveys and stuff.

Welldone on the fiver. You just need another £2.50 of 10ps and you can withdraw!!

Just read your blog post about Fabulous Bingo, but think you've got it a tad wrong.
The wagering requirements are still 1x the deposit + welcome bonus, so £30.
I had a friend pop round this morning and I was telling her about it, and as she'd never played online Bingo before and wanted to make sure she got it right, we did it there and then so I could help if needed!! It was only £30 she had to play before the money was reverted to normal withdrawable money rather than 'bonus' money.
The best thing I would advise anyone to do as well, is watch their balance, and as soon you see it jump by £10 (i.e. when the bonus for being referred is added), go and withdraw it. That way you know you have your deposit back, and it's not there to accidentally play or to be tempted to gamble. So even if you don't win anything, you know you haven't lost any money.

I had to play £40 before I could withdraw: the T&Cs I checked said you had to play 200% of the bonus. I really should read the T&Cs before I sign up for things.

It's possible I accidentally signed up for a different deal or something but I suspect they may have changed it in the last few days. I only checked afterwards because it wasn't doing what I expected, I'd expected it to be as you just described.

Definitely withdraw the £10 as soon as it's available though, then even if you lose the rest you know you're not down at all.


EDITED to add: There is a different referral scheme 'spread the word' where your referral adds £10 as soon as they have wagered £10 both you and them get £10 bonus.... so that would be completely risk free (if I understand the T&C's correctly) but you need to send it through email or facebook. (Can't make up my mind which is the better deal, obviously you get more money to wager on the other one but if you don't get any referrals you may lose your deposit).

don't know what happened to my lappie there!!!!!! thought someone had hacked it! it suddenly locked the screen and would not let me log in at all! kept saying password wrong!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

anyway, well done on getting your Ipod and dock. I wouldn't count the £26 saved as you haven't saved it? If you see what I mean? You have earnt the vouchers, and I presume already counted them.

Thanks for the help guys, hopefully someone will use my referral!

I will do the Facebook thing later too but I came home early from work today with chronic auntie flow pains (sorry if TMI) so not going on facebook at moment, in bed with heated blanket and a cat to keep me company and trying to make some extra cash as might not get paid for leaving early!
