    #I thought I was on a go slow LOL

    i got 25 free bet with BF
    plus 25 cashback

    then Ive done coral - so that was 50

    then sporting odds & sporting bet - one freebie each at 25.00

    I got 12.50 from greasyp for sporting odds ( or bet they confuse me!)

    and there is some pence from arbs, as all my bets are arbs bar one :j

    theres something missing isnt there. Ive gone blank. Its in one of my many speadsheets LOL

    Have you done the CHIP Coral code Lynz? I made another £30 doing the CHIP, NINE (had to wait for an invite in the post for this one) & game of the month (last month's - can't do this month's game risk free, hopefully august's game will allow it) - Coral are just giving money away! :cool:

    Sorry Dr Hoook, can you post any links on these for me?

    Hoping everyone is hunky -d.

    NOt long to go now so lets step it up a gear :D

    Im doing some MB this am ( hopefully) and then later on im off shopping - any underspend from this weeks shopping budget, will be added to total. Better get creative. Altyhough we have got 2x clubcard vouchers we could spend ( wathc welshy go mad ;) ) in store which would mean a furthewr 12.50 for the total. tesco vouchers really are not much use to us tbh, its the money not the treats we need :) although we were thinking of going to a theme park later in the year, :confused: Welshy, do you know when the next voucher run is? Must go to Mr Ts as I have a stack of receipts, some wombled ;) needing to be added.

    tomorrow is ebay-a-rama this end. We have stacks to get rid of.

    Im wondering whether we sould start an ebay book sale with everything on a BIN of 50p or even less? :confused: if we ensure the P&P is right then we should do OK? Ill wait for a cheap listing day tho in case they dont sell?

    Anyone doing any genius things this weekend to make money ? :D

    Have a look at this thread for info on the CHIP code & how to extract the most out of it.

    You should get a coral welcome pack through the post soon(ish) which will have a playing card with a code on (AFAIK it's always NINE which gives you another £10 bonus but it's invite only so you'll have to wait for it to arrive in the post). Use this code the same way as the CHIP one.

    Keep an eye on the loopholes board for info on the game of the month - I'm sure once Coral have announced which game it is one of the knowledgable peeps on there will post with info on how to get the bonus out with as little risk as possible.

    I've made just under £220 so far through matched betting, should have my last bonuses credited at sporting odds & bet on tuesday which I'll turnover & withdraw, then I'm on the lookout for a new bookie to fleece :D I'm thinking Bet24 but I haven't really looked into it properly yet.

    Which bookie(s) are you working on at the minute?

    Im just waiting for the other x3 sporting odds/bets to come through so theres another 150 there over the next 3 weeks.

    I did get my welcome pack through from coral yesterday, but the NINe code seemed only for games ( blackjack etc) are these what you are meaning?

    Ive done my first bet24 one, but sickk of trying to find decent matches , everytime I look they are miles apart from betfair.

    Hi. I've just joined and have been reading about the challenge avidly. Too late for me to join now so maybe I'll get in on the next one. I've decided this year is the one I take back my life and get control of my finances. Been reclaiming bank charges, selling like crazy on Ebay and claiming via cashback sites and it's adding up!

    Anyway, just wanted to say to Lynzpower - I also don't have much use for the Tesco vouchers but by chance I saw they were being sold on Ebay for about twice the voucher value. you will need to claim the reward for your winner and send them their reward vouchers after they arrive with you. I sold last quarters £23 voucher for £54!

    I was worried about the fraud thing too. I ordered the vouchers (MOT/Servicing vouchers) for the chap who won and sent him them recorded after a few days when they arrived with me. The vouchers are anonymous so to speak - there is no name etc on them. Some of the deals are for the named card holder only so you wouldn't be able to sell them anyway.

    I've managed to get almost £40 worth on my current statement thanks to this and other sites so I'll be doing the same come end of August.

    BTW after reading through this forum I joined Quidco this morning and made a cool £39 already via Gala and a couple of magazine offers for £1. Just about to switch utilities for another £35.

    Also bought a Gucci bag from Ebay in need of a repair to the handle for £3.21, sent it off to Gucci and got the repair done for £30. Made £115 profit back on Ebay so I've had a good week!!:T

    Still got about 3k debt between my partner and I but witha few reclaiming charges cases under way (credit cards) and some more money saving should be all sorted for 2008...

    I never sell my tesco vouchers on ebay although others do. I do believe that Tescos will be clamping down on them, I once did bid on a lot which included tesco vouchers and someone Pm'd me to say that they worked as a tesco manager and what I was doing was fraud so I tend to steer clear now. I think it all depends on the individual, my comfort zone may be different to another. For example if I used Mr Bloggs clubcard points vouchers in store and handed over my card sayins Mrs Welshy then in theory the SA could refuse them as the names do not match. One way of avoiding this is to use a keyfob showing no name.

    But if you are talking about the blue clubcard vouchers which can be converted into deals then I know many people have bought them, I just would be cautious.

    Well done on the Gucci bag - my moneysaving today consisted of:

    Buying 3 copies of the Daily Mirror - each had a 60p x 3 money off voucher (will use at tescos off my shopping) and inside each paper was a voucher for a free nail kit worth £9.99 at Tescos so I collected 3 freebies from Superdrug and will sell them to make some money for this challenge.

    Welshy x
    ;) I am the only Voucher Queen in my village LOL ;)
