Receipt hog.
What is the point, it's taking forever to get anywhere......
Do people bother with this one? I much prefer shopprise that ssm talked me into.

Yes I do receipt hog. I tend to load the bigger value recs at the start of the week and then when I get over 100 points I load the low value ones later in the week - you can have 3 receipts from each shop per day. They divide the month neatly into weeks.
My only complaints - very slow loading the points, can take days sometimes and they don't do things in date order - hence why I do bigger receipts early in the week or you might only get 5 points for them.
I also find it logs out on me at regular internals :mad:
It takes me about 10 to 12 weeks to get enough points for £5 paypal - I've got 8 since October 2016 - £40 worth, OK its not fabulous riches but paypal tends to be treat money and I use the receipts anyway for shoppix,shopprize and Big DL

£50 cashed out a couple of weeks ago.

Hog takes much longer than the others as usually only manage to accrue around 150pts per week which over a year with bonus points is approx £35, whereas Big D £50 and Shoppix £60, but Shopprize £130 so all in all about £275pa.

If you put that into reality and divide that £275 by the time taken to snap receipts it works out as pennies per hour.

But then again it's money for nothing except your time.

I just treat it as a hobby.
I'm new to it really and only joined shopprise as it lowered it's rewards points.

Initially about £175pa could be earnt from Shopprise, but the last round of points changes reduced that to £130pa.

BigDL has a spinning wheel you get one spin per day plus if you share an offer eg via twitter you get a 2nd spin. You can win entries to a monthly draw, an extra spin, bonus e points and once I won a £1 amazon voucher Last year though I won 2 very nice salad bowls.
Also you can upload receipts, one per shop per day - 5 points for each receipt unless you have won a bonus and then its 25. I've only drawn down once on this

I've managed 3 x £1 Amazon, a solar power bank, DJ style headphones and some charging cables on the instant wins, but nothing on the prize draws............yet

Sadly the M&S premier club seems not to be taking new members at the moment - if you want to torture yourself have a look at what you have missed.
I've been a member forever. it costs £10 a month as I don't have the travel insurance bit. it more than pays for itself though

As for Sparks - you have the app on your phone and you check it on a Thursday for new offers? You can also see your account online and your offers - also worth checking that your details are complete and correct - mine hadn't got my mobile number.
If its yes to all of the above I would message them to ask why you are not getting any birthday treats - my email came about a week before

Thanks all my details are correct, but I didn't put a phone number in - is there any bonus to putting a number?

no idea but my phone number wasn't in either ...
You might have to message them to get to the bottom of why you are being ignored on your birthday ...
