ive been trying that for ages but can't resist it haha.. the nearest I got was £35 but then I cashed out for the amazon voucher :P.. i've never ordered a cheque off them.. have you?

I think it's a bank transfer, and no I haven't I am too eager! Back in 2008 they used to charge you for a bank transfer (about £1?) but I don't think they do that now

it's not, unless they changed it a few months ago and I didn't realise? lol I always saw that it was a cheque posted out.. but I'm fine with the amazon vouchers anyway.. I let the ciao payments go through the bank and treat myself with the dooyoo amazon vouchers

Spreadsheet says Bank Transfer.

Took just over seven weeks but it did arrive without me having to chase it and there was no charge. It just popped up in my bank account a week before Crimbo.

ooh that's handy too (though i'm a bit wary of cash payments since I remember someone writing on one of the boards that you have to declare it for tax :S) doesn't seem worth it as its never enough that it's classed as an income.. more as a little treat! lol

How long do ciao payments take to transfer? I am currently on 48p over there... gonna be a long month.

If vouchers and cash cost the same I go Cash is King.

If the differential is tiny I will often go cash.

If the difference in cost is silly, I go vouchers. I opt for those which will replace money I would spend on food first and where I have shops near me, so SB's tends towards M&S and I had the spreadsheet open as I got a John Lewis voucher from a survey site arrive in the post and which I will squander at Waitrose.

If I can't eat or spend it at Boots on prescriptions, I'll opt for Amazon and so cover much of the cost of Crimbo and Birthday prezzies plus some stuff I can't get from the shops near here.

Wise. I always go Amazon, as I figure I can always buy things with the vouchers and re-sell them for cash. Many sites differentials between cash and vouchers are ridiculous, especially considering PP will likely take a cut of it as well if it goes down that route.

I know Paypal must be coining it from dollar payments. The exchange rate we get compared to the money market rates they must get is pathetic.

Cash also avoids the risk of vouchers becoming worthless if the company you would have to redeem them at goes belly up. I would always take a quick look at company health at Bloomberg before taking vouchers from a company I haven't had before.
