I agree that CP is a good site but I often have weeks when I only get the 500 points.

Likewise! Mimi's post made my eyes water!

I only ever seem to get the 'Update your details survey' and the 'Telecoms survey' just wondered if there are any others? Thanks

Do you really buy about 20 items a month from Boots that qualify for entry? Is this mainly make-up or have you found other items that are accepted?

I agree that CP is a good site but I often have weeks when I only get the 500 points. Still not complaining as the points soon mount up with the other surveys. Just wish they would offer some other vouchers than the current ones.

If I can find skincare that is reduced (normally shed loads on the clearance shelf) that either I can use or one of my family can use, I will buy it. Plus you can put stuff like hand cream + body lotion in the skincare section, lip balms + lypsil in cosmetics.

I tend to buy a lot of singles on Itunes too, and you can put these on, 5 downloads = 2500 points if you pay as you go. Books you can get from charity shops are cheap and equal 500 points.

My nephew has an account too and his Mom is a complete clothes tart and will buy numerours garments each week. They don't know how to use CP, so they bring all the receipts round each week and I help them to put their stuff on.

Totally agree with you though. I think the voucher range is very limited, hence my huge accrual. My nephew tends to get Next or Pizza Hut vouchers, it's a nice little treat for him.

IIRC, only purchases of new goods are supposed to be recorded, so be careful.

Enjoy your vouchers when you do apply for them!!

I have not put any books through recently. I know rules have changed. They don't let you put dvd rentals on anymore either I think.

And thanks duck, I will enjoy the vouchers.

@ mimi

Yes, DVD rentals can still be put on - it's under Film/TV.

Can you put them on even if you get them from a library? If so, quids in for me. I work in a library and can rent them out for 20p each. LOL.

Well the question asks 'What shop/website did you rent this title from?' but I suppose you could put 'other'? Guess you could try it and see what CP says, if anything. Don't see why not, you are still renting a film and it is irrelevant what you end up paying for it - or not, in your case

I think people need to be careful and not take the p***. Consumer Pulse definitely don't want stuff from charity shops entered do they, I mean if that was the case you could take a book from home and say you got it from a charity shop for 50p! (I know you said you don't do it now, but you should never have done it). It's when people start getting greedy that companies take the heavy hand and people have been kicked off panels such as these, and I don't blame them for doing so. Just stick to the rules and you can't go wrong and if in doubt, give them a ring and ask if such and such can be entered.

If anybody has an invite link and would be so kind to PM me it, i'd be forever grateful. Thanks in advance.
