Its funded by a greed for tesco points.

Hi everyone,
This is the first time I have ever posted on MSE!
Glad to know you are all here too. Have been checking PTS on and off all day. Like some of the others its part of my routine, just have to have a quick check of PTS before I can do anything else - so consequently I've done nothing!
Looking forward to finding out how last night went.

I could be wrong but I think its funded purely from the advertising at the top of the pages (if we click on a link it generates income which in turn is used to run site)

That's right, that and some affiliate links. I don't think they've broken even yet, but they've always said they aren't in it for the money.

Hello all... Completely agree, its from the adverts and clicks, along with donations from Giz and odie I imagine.

I'm here too... I need PTS.... I also passed on the thread link to everyone that had pm'd and emailed me.. Gosh I'm missing my pts fix, I actually caught up with all my surveys last night.

Hiya I am soooooo missing my time on paid to shop, I listed some swaps last night and was excitedly awaiting a flurry of PM's offering swaps !!!

I'm not very original and my username on both is the Same - Welsh-dragon - although on PTS I did change my avatar to a cute teddy wearing a welsh t-shirt, shame you all cannot see it.

PS Was going to post this on the MFI thread on PTS but cannot, flicking through the paper today I see that if someone spends £3,000 on a new kitchen at MFI they get a free flip down TV. (There is already an offer for a free Bosch dishwasher if £1500 is spent). For those getting a kitchen (like myself) it is worth looking into.
