Netflix is excellent, we watch it a lot and the package we have is just under £10 a month. Much better than Virgin tv which was much more expensive and full of rubbish we never watched. I've never had SKY. Mind you we don't watch sports.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Regarding Qmee i have just checked and there is no refer a friend feature its on google play or itunes etc.

The app you basically register and link your paypal account too it. Once you have updated your profile questions they will send you notifications on your phone when surveys are there. The surveys range from anywhere from 3-5p upto £1.00-£1.35. The benefit of the app is once you complete a survey the moneys there too drop either instantly or sometime you have too wait upto half an hour they charge no fees for draw down, and some surveys if your booted you get a partial payment.0 -
Ahhh - OK, that rules it out for me then, not comfortable linking my PayPal app to anything really. Also not a fan of surveys on the phone. Sounds like it's working well for you though!
HH no we don't have any of the sports channels currently - the only sport we really watch is rugby so not generally any need. Still debating what to do but need to sort it as the devils have nicked £72 off us this month and I'm not letting THAT carry on!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Copied this from there site Essex i have never used it as i prefer pound signs too vouchers, you can also do the surveys on Qmee.com once you are registered I use both phone and site.
As well as being able to cash out to your PayPal account or donate to charity, you can now use your rewards to buy an Amazon, iTunes or Starbucks gift card.
The minimum amount you will need to cash out to a gift card is £5/$5 – perfect, just enough to get you and your friend a coffee! Don’t worry, there is still no minimum cash out amount needed when you cash out your rewards to your PayPal account.0 -

OK - quick update:
YouGov - nice 150 point survey first thing today so now only 300 odd points away from the prize.
Prolific - not remembered to open it yet today - oops! £2.86 on there though I think.
OnePoll - £2.45 - still awaiting the last Cashout.
QMee (thanks Scott!) not totally sold on it yet but I am over half way to my first £5 threshold in only just over 24 hours so...
Populus now at 40 points
Power Of Opinions a little over half way to next cashout.
Secret Survey Site: cashed out £6 yesterday, paid today and transferred over already.
Need to get the CC money shuffle done tomorrow - the statement cut-off date should have been today so fingers crossed by tomorrow everything will show on it. I've just done the food money as there's nothing more to go on there.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

I've got £8.75 on PA and I've been waiting for ages for two surveys to be approved so I can cash out when I'm over £10 (just a personal foible).
You were lucky to get a 150 point YG survey, that's rare! I'm halfway to cashout with OP but seem to be getting screened out more than I used to.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Not sure I've ever seen a 150 point one before HH! Got another 50 point one today as well - 280 points to go then I can cash out and get rid! :rotfl:
Money shuffle done for the CC this morning - although I'm waiting on MrEH transferring his bits over everything else is done and fingers crossed there will still be a small joint account surplus this month too.
About to get my plan together and ring Sky I think. need to get a solid idea of what I *don't* want to agree to - we've agreed that we don't need the box sets package, and we're not bothered about the HD channels either as we'll still get the basic ones anyway.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
