    What shop was it? Might be worth an email to complain - they shouldn't be upsetting you for using coupons :(

    I telephoned them as soon as I got back and have a reference number. They said they would get back to me by the end of today. Still considering complaining by email too.

    Thanks nat21luv & fracturedsun your advice is appreciated. I will potter away at sb for the rest of the month to get the hang of it and will join the Nov challenge once I get an idea of how much it is reasonable to aim to make every day.

    beccie, your shopping experience sounds horrible :( I hope they deal with the complaint properly and give you a big gift voucher, you should not be treated so poorly.

    I used to come out in a cold sweat when using vouchers but have got a lot more brazen and i'm happy to let the supermarkets pay someone to argue with me or put all the stock back on the shelves. In fact I love it when a company messes up as it gives me the opportunity to complain (politely of course) and get some freebies :D

    Be a little careful about downloading things under the special offers tabs though. Never had a problem myself but have heard some people have... I just avoid the offers which download software onto my computer.
    Totally second that - I've seen people on the SB challenge thread saying they were prevented from entering some pages via special offers by their antivirus software and the same happened to me a few times. Keep your eyes open :cool:

    OOh Nat, I'm glad you said about the X-Factor survey, I had that text today and totally forgot about it! Signing up for it now, hopefully :D
    Gone through mine and OHs emails today, as we are rubbish for checking them properly - important things get opened and looked at, but everything else just builds up and up, including things like Surveys etc that we don't have the time to do! So I did searched on both for all the Superpoints emails with the points in, and Maximiles ones with free points etc, and clicked through all of them, so have given all those accounts a good little boost :)
    Baby steps, but I feel like I've achieved something!!
    Few surveys done too, got quite a few nearing redemption levels so will focus on those more and try and see what pennies I can get in time for Christmas.

    £30 Consumer Pulse vouchers to add in the mean time today though.

    And Oh no, I've just remembered I had 2 Ebay parcels I was meant to post today. :( Whoops :( Will have to send them tomorrow instead. I think I changed my dispatch time from 2 days to 3 days not too long ago since I've been busier so technically is ok, but I do say I usually post the same or next day when I can, and I don't like to be slow in posting.

  • Hi Guys :hello:
    I have been away so I haven't had a chance to post for a few days but things are going well on the money making front. I can report an extra £13.90 from an extra hours work today at the gym, I saved £2.50 by using a voucher in Tesco's last week that I forgot to add to my total, I got £100 euros (just going to count that as £100 cuz can't be bothered to work out the conversion, hope you don't mind) as spending money for holiday (I know, I feel very lucky) and I got £49.78 in ebay sales :j
    Soooooo....I make that £166,18, WELL on the way to target, fingers crossed...Got an item i'm still waiting for payment on and I have listed some more ending this week too :)

    I will catch up with everyones posts really soon, Hope I haven't missed too much

  • OOOoooh just had a thought that yesterday at some training for L*sh I got some prizes for being a swot, they were products and would usually have cost about £27 in total, I wouldn't have been buying them so its not a saving, but do people count prizes as part of the total or not?
