Wonder if this will work,

Have submitted two posts over the last couple of days, one disappeared, and the other timed out :mad:

MSE is having server problems, it's not us or our devices even though it feels like that.

Quick question to those who use multiple survey sites,

Do you spend one day on one site and get alot of money, or do multiple sites in one day to get a little off each?
Sorry if that doesn't make sense.

There was a buy 1 get 1 half price on my chewing gum in B**ts so saved myself £11.50 today :j

Lynn, do you have the boots app installed on your phone? I assume you have a boots card? They have done away with all the ACM (advantage card machine) and if you have a smartphone, you can install the boots app, input your advantage card details. Then weekly they give you offers, different ones. You choose the ones you want and they automatically load them upto your card.

Then when you are shopping, the offers kick in automatically, ie triple points when you spend £10, 150 points if you buy Boots own brand face products, etc.

Sometimes you get freebies on the app.

a bit on each, depending what sites they are and how much I get screened out.

I have some books/cds/dvds with one of those buying sites, and haven't sent them off (need to acquire a box), but if they accept everything it will come to about £22 (there are some items I am chancing due to condition, but i would just be putting them into charity as want to just get rid).

did you go through a cashback site first before putting your items in? forget which but some are on topcashback/quidco.

No haven't been through a cashback site, I don't do much online shopping nowadays so didn't think it would be worth it

JustStartingOut, it does depend on who you went through. most aren't on cashback sites, but before doing anything, I always check as you never know. Like Amazon, it comes and goes on topcashback, some things you can get cashback on occasionally but always worth checking.

My mantra is to always check all cashback sites before I do anything, I have been surprised at what is offered these days.

£5 amazon giftcard from mobile expressions. Using this for some new earphones

I have built a spreadsheet to keep track of my earnings so I know where I'm at with things. If only I could fill in the expenditure one as easily

I opened this account years ago when my son was born, but at the time it was very new and unknown, and I never used it.

Someone mentioned the other day Amazon was on there, so next time I purchased from Amazon, I used the cashback part.

Anyhoo, I was reading the t and c, as you do, AND you don't have to have children to used Kidstart. You can donate the cashback earnt to charity if you wish or save it for yourself.

So another cashback site to consider.

I'm in, although slightly behind myself mainly cos I'm away next week and I'm having huge outlay at the moment with the new kitchen so savings aren't really savings. £100 and $40...
