    Yes, it validated after he failed to turn up. I wondered if he was a fellow MSE user who knew I was only doing it for the cashback!!

    Hillarys is still 'Tracked' but I have found with Quidco that everything stays in Tracked for a really long time, so I'm not worrying yet.

    Sorry hypno, another question! is bingo easy? I'm tempted by the money from Gala Bingo but I have never played bingo and don't know the first thing about it. If I sign up, will I know what to do?

    Def sign up for the bingo ones - Topcashback have £30 for Mecca too - you will easily work out what to do. You may even win a bit on top of your cashback. Just don't get caught up in the "game" or you could lose your brain!!

    Aha - I'm in topcashback now cos of ss's work, and I must admit I haven't done any gameplaying at all - the cashback appeals, but the games don't. I must be strong - maybe I'll do it next week when the workmen are doing the porch. You have to keep going on these offers, cos they only let you withdraw fairly substantial wodges of cash, if I understand them right.

    And hypno...... you *are* the fount of all wisdom!!!

    The trick is as follows:

    You deposit £10 bingo money, and get £20 (say) cashback. You also get £10 free bonus money as a welcome from the bingo people.

    You play some bingo and lose most of it, then you win a game and have,say, £15 in your account.

    You think "I'll have that, because I am in profit" then when you go to withdraw it says you can not withdraw because it is below their withdrawal limit of £30.

    So, instead of trying to win more, to get it to £30, when in reality you will lose the lot, just deposit another £15 to bring it up to the threshold, then withdraw the lot!!

    Right, off to bed now!! Catch up in the morning, sleep well x
