Is stoozing still worth doing?

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Even if I only make a small profit, there are some other benefits which motivate me:

    1. As I offset stoozed cash against my mortgage, I see a lower figure on my mortgage statement. Seeing this lower figure gives me a kind of phsycological boost to hammer it down to zero. I couldn't tell you how much I save.... only that I'm saving some money.

    2. I'm required to make minimum payments. This is a great way of saving.... effectively being forced to save each month. If I didn't have this commitment each month, I could so easily have a month off and blow the cash.

    3. Getting one over the financial organisations / improving my maths / sharpening my mind to spot loopholes and oportunities. It's a hobby.

    yup..the credit card everyones talkign about
    Everyone? You were the first to (indirectly) mention the Egg Card on this thread. Even the OP spoke of an Egg Money card. :confused:

    dawnylou said she'd just obtained an Egg Money card (Mastercard).

    You said you hoped she'd got £35 from Quidco.

    I said I thought you only got £35 for applying for an Egg Card (Visa) - the inference being that you didn't get it for an Egg Money card, ie the one she'd applied for.
