    Has iPoints slowed right down for anyone else? I've been stuck on 100 points for a couple of months now. I don't get clickthough emails anymore, there's hardly any polls on the site, the sign-up offers aren't worth doing because they never award the points or reply when I chase them up (and half of the 'new' offers they email about are for things I signed up for with them maybe a year ago so I can't do them again anyway) and I'm barely getting any survey emails... and when I do the links don't work! What's going on? They used to be great, I used to get a free CD every 2-3 months just from the free points.

    I would check your settings on ipoints. I'm still getting at least 1 clickthrough email most days but quite often get 2 or 3. I tend to receive 3 or 4 survey emails each week too. I don't often qualify but I am still getting the surveys!!

    I still get around 2 to 4 a day.

    Has anyone had any experience ordering one of the more expensive electrical products? I ordered the PSP about a week ago but I need it before Friday! I know they said up to 14 days but I hoped they were slightly quicker!

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this so sorry if its not!

    I was looking through the rewards section a couple of days ago and noticed you could redeem your points for a weeks accommodation abroad. I was wondering whether anyone has gone for this? I am tempted but was thinking there must be some sort of catch and when I looked into the company providing the reward it is petchey who are a timeshare company. I'm just worried that if I get there they're going to be trying to sell me timeshare the whole time I'm there.

    It doesn't say anything in the T&C's about this, and if its just a one off meeting I'd have to attend then I'd be tempted to go for it.

    Any opinions??

    I ordered a psp last christmas. It didn't take 14 days, so you may get it in time. I seem to remember it was about 10 days or so. Hope that helps and that you get it in time.

    thanks for this. I didn't know there were surveys. I just did 6.


    how do you get surveys? do they mail them to you or do you have to find them on the website?

    There are surveys emailled fairly regularly, I tend to get one a day although I dont qualify for all of them, and there are 5point polls on site again a handful a week at best.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    Thanks, I'll just have to hope it comes in the next 4 days! I assume they send it out by courier, not Royal Mail?

    I hadn't had clickthrough emails for ages either, and I thought they'd stopped doing them. Having read this thread, I went and checked my account and for some reason ipoints had decided that my registered email address wasn't valid. I've just changed it to a different address so hopefully that should mean that the clickthrough emails start coming again.

    Most of the clickthrough emails I've been getting recently are the ones where you have to register or enter a competition etc. Not many are the ones that only want a click unfortunately.
