    Hi Dezzi,

    Be careful if you use someone elses accounts on the cashback sites. I believe that some of them register your IP address (Internet address) and not just the username. If that happens you could have your accounts suspended.

    Hi guys, when do you count the money that you have "earnt"? EG with clicks, if you do a £ worth of clicks today do you count it as today's money, or do you wait until it has been paid to you?

    Similarly with surveys, if you do one that earns a couple of £ do you have to wait until you have cashed in, or can you add up as you go?

    Or are there no rules :rotfl:

    Nerds rule! :cool:
  • Count me in too - I managed the £1k amazingly and much to my surprise.

    I made £265 at a car boot last weekend so the motivation from the last challenge is spurring me on.

    Hi all,
    O.K. today i have recieved a refund from Direct Line Home insurance for £28.84 (apparently I was overcharged when I took it out through Quidco last year) Also have banked £3 from Green metropolis for a book I sold with them. So, I have added these to my total. I have applied for a cash back CC through Quidco - should get £40 for this, although it has not tracked yet. Anyway the plan is to get all of my petrol and food shopping on this for the next three months and get the 3% cash back offered to add to my total. Would not have been disciplined enough to do this last year (would probably have blown the lot on a holiday), but plan to set up DD to pay off full amount each month using food / petrol budget.
    Plan for tommorrow is to fill in forms needed to go onto next pay scale in work. If it is approved will get it from Sept, so working on the theory that what you have never had you never miss :rolleyes: I plan to save this.

    Go to CP and click on edit signature on left hand side :)
    Then type in what you want in your box - but I have just been advised you can only have about 4 sentences before the Forum team delete your whole signature so be careful to keep note elsewhere as well in case it is deleted and yo don't have a record of what you were up to etc!

    :)
