    Amazingly, I had an email today saying that Dooyoo had sent me a gift voucher for the £30 they owed. I really thought I was hounding a lost cause - annoyingly it arrived precisely five minutes after I returned to the office after my lunch break, during which I purchased items I could have used the vouchers for on Amazon....grrr! But still, they are redeemed.

    And there endeth my Dooyoo era. Good luck to all those still chasing payments. Don't give up!

    Glad you managed to get a voucher!

    Hoping to get to cash out amount by churning. I've got a couple of tips that seem to be working if anybody needs to add reviews. I've found that I always get the 404 error if I include a £ sign in the body of the review. Replace that with the word pound and it seems to get accepted. It may be coincidental of course.

    I still can't keep track of the amount of miles being awarded per review. I've just posted a shoe review which according to the now difficult to find site map should be a level two item but still seem to have had 100 miles added?

    I've also spotted on the all categories listed that absolutely loads of items are now listed as being worth no miles at all! Most of travel/Uk categories are now no miles according to the list and previously well paying topics like vacuum cleaners, cookers and most other household appliances are showing as no miles! Has anybody else seen this?

    Anybody posted in one of those categories and received miles? Pointress, I think your review yesterday should have been non-paying if that list is correct?

    Well done on getting your voucher. I replied to Dooyoo nearly 2 days ago with my user name as requested and I haven't heard anything yet. I really hope I haven't lost this £50 cash.

    Dooyoo admin if you are reading these pages please please can I have my payment, I worked hard for that!

    Thank you

    Damn! That makes sense - I wondered why there was no change in my miles! Thanks. Will take another look and bash something out. I just want to get to £50 and claim out.

    That's a shame. I was hoping your miles were getting added and the 'no miles' categories were another glitch! Doesn't look like it then.

    I've just had a new kitchen fitted too - all those lovely new appliances to review. At least Ciao pay a decent amount for appliance reviews.

    Thanks for the tip about '£' signs.


    Just added two reviews - one seems to have disappeared and nothing added to my total for doing them - they were skincare.


    My proposals still show I have reviews to write on some proposals of mine - but they have been done and listed before all this fuss.


    Hate the way you cannot et any layout apart form a huge block of text - and when reviewing I forgot to put the number of stars and the error message was in German.

    I think it's other symbols too, even apostrophes if they are the slanting type rather than straight. To be safe, I'm taking out accented letters, hyphens, the lot!

    The miles listing have now randomly disappeared from the site -since this morning- so there is now no way of knowing how many (if any) miles each topic will earn!

    Books, health products and fashion all seem to be paying out at level 3 if that helps anybody.

    Anyone know why I would still get a 404 error when posting a review? Others have no problems, and the category that I am posting in, has had reviews done recently.

    It still happens all of the time. I've posted several reviews on the new site but still get the 404 error regularly. I've found that removing any £ symbols seems to help. I also find that book reviews post more consistently than other topics. It is trial and error mostly!
