Any tips for earning on inbox pounds? I've been stuck at about £8 for months probably take another year to hit the £20 threshold to cash out. I've managed to bag myself £10 with swaggers this week.

To be honest i don't like inbox pounds and i am on £7.45 having never cashed out on it. I am focussing on it purely to claim and quit the site. I am logging in daily, doing the paid emails, surveys and a couple of searches. I have tried an offer paying £8 for depositing £5 into a bingo site but i don't even know how to check if it has registered

I might have a look through the other offers and tabs just to see if there is anything else i can do to get there quicker!!

If you fancy a mini inbox pounds challenge to help speed our way towards cashing out let me know lol xxx

Found £1.20 today.

Total so far this month £149.98.
Just 2p away from halfway.

Anyone want to chuck me 2p over so I can hit 50%??

Please Help! I have been reading all your posts and you are all doing really well and that is great, but, I am feeling down. I seem to have lost my 'mojo' this month, my family have serious health problems and so I am not feeling myself but I am trying to keep going on here as a way of escape.

Hey - I was just looking at your signature and my goodness, how well you've done this year. Think you just feeling a bit flat because it's slowed down but that happens on here and not many have a consistently high flow. So don't get down - just keep going forward

Can I ask, how do you manage with several current accounts? Do you have a salary paid into one and then shuffle it through the others to meet the usage requirements? I need to keep my graduate account for the next year or so (free overdraft) but would like to get a Santander account for the cashback.

I don't, thank goodness, have to worry about an overdraft but have a small free one just in case. Basically yes, I have a Santander 123, which gets salary paid in and pays DD to meet criteria and 123 credit card (I buy everything on it to get cashback but it's paid in full every month so no interest).


I had a Nationwide a/c for last year at 5% interest but only get that for 12 months. Set up a S/O to pay £500 from/to Santander 123 every month. Now that finishing this month have opened new TSB account (5% interest on-going) and will set up the £500 back and forth with Santander to meet criteria (they don't require any DDs or anything). You can open 2 of these so when I've filled the first I'll open another. Hope that explains okay.

Get rooting down the back of the sofa! Or in the car if you have one- always pennies lying around there!


Plodding on slowly. Think I will start doing the bingo sites for cashback again when I have built up my pot. Still going very slow but waiting for my first lot of ebay listings to finish so will hopefully have more to add tomorrow!

I also run 3 x 123 accounts :eek: and a 123 credit card.
We have a business account with HSBC which pays no interest so wages are transferred and split between the 3 accounts account no 1 (joint)being the main account from which all the main bills go out of including the DD for the credit card (paid in full every month)

Account no 2 is in my name only and has 2 tiny DD coming out to meet the criteria and is up to the maximum for interest. So this just sits and acts as a savings account.

Account no 3 in is DH name and again has 2 tiny DD set up and this is where any extra money is transferred and we will just try and use this as a savings account.

When they are all full (which will be a while) I will look around at the time to see where I can get the best rates.

This is all thanks to MSE and the lovely people on here 2 years ago I couldn't afford to put petrol in the car or food on the table.
Debts galore and a spend 10 times more than we earn attitude.Its been a hard slog as paid it all off then started overpaying £1000 a month on the mortgage (which is finished with the next payment) :j

So it can be done just keep chipping away and all of you who are thinking you are not doing well this month on this challenge just look how far you have come :eek: You are all bl**dy amazing

Forgot to say I also run another santander old account which is the dogs (his insurance has now gone up to over £100 a month) so have cancelled and am now sticking any extra money I make in here to cover any problems. This is a rubbish interest account and will be swapping to a higher rate as soon as he has enough in it to start worrying about it.lol
