    Finally! Ran out of DS earlier, just gone back and finally managed one on holiday booking websites :)

    Just out of curiosity, what does everybody else do with their SB rewards. Do you take paypal and save towards a holiday for example?
    Before Christmas, i went for Amazon vouchers and saved mine towards all my pressies, which went a long long way to helping afford some lovely gifts. Now that's over for a little while, I'm hoping to save up the amazon vouchers again until i can 'hopefully' treat myself to the Friends Bluray boxset :)
    Just intrigues me what people are aiming for, what spurs you on (apart from the joy of filling in bread questionnaires obviously)!!

    I get amazon, i was lucky to get so many bargains on there before xmas it was unreal, i got toys that retail in argos for £40 each for £10 to 12..... however i want something for me now....

    I have 50 in amazon but am contemplating saving for paypal now..... the difference in bucks is big though...

    I had a Gfk mobile survey that unusually asked my for my first and last name and email addy, I did the same as Paul, initial, surname and spam mail and was told I'd already done the survey. I also keep being told there is a PL survey that isn't there when I try. Need 45 just to target and don't want to do sbtv as I'll be here all night.

    Cath - have you done the Change for Life offer on SponsorPay yet? :)

    Try not spacing the the sections....
    eg, if your code is M37 6HH then type it as M376HH......all one with no gap. That often works for me . Good luck.:)

    Edi realised its because I didnt change the language to UK English instead of USA :D

    I get Amazon vouchers because I'm saving up for a large prezzie for myself this year. I had considered PayPal but I think it would just get used up on other things. Also I can see the Amazon gift voucher balance increasing which is a great motivation for me

    The best thing about SB's is affording things you wouldn't normally.

    Amazon is awesome, i bought some sports sandals that retail for £40 for £3. 35. freepost!

    Also they sell grocery so i can get my pet supplies in bulk for really low price.

    They say cash is king and i agree, but amazon are the best for bargains.
