I'm so so happy today, my big research has come through and I received £110 in amazon vouchers! I was really worried I wasn't going to receive this as it seemed very easy work for such a huge amount and I received £10 more than I was expecting! That target really doesn't seem so difficult now. I think its safe to say that I have birthdays covered until around April.
GunShotResidue my favourite is prolific by far but swagbucks is my main income for amazon vouchers.
Aw amazing! So happy it all came through, I worry sometimes with things like that too.
You are going to smash that target :j

I have been doing this since July 2016 as it was the only way I could chisel at the debt, live a normal life and get all the presents for my large family and friends.
I have already bought about 70% of this years Christmas presents with Amazon vouchers, saving about £150, and have used this to sort the January birthdays so I am sorted until February.
I currently have £35 going spare in Amazon vouchers, and have £9 in points on Pinecone, but don't usually cash out until I have £15.

You're doing great already.
It feels so much better when you can pay for it with surveys doesn't it!

Super happy with my totals so far.
I got a £100 amazon vouchers as I emailed Amazon to ask for a refund of my Kindle Unlimited (that I paid for with surveys) as I didn't realise I could read books with my Amazon Prime, they refunded me no probs!
Also got an invite to download an app on my phone, stays on there and picks up radio signals so lets them see what you are listening too on radio and watching on TV. £20 first month then £10 each month thereafter. Battery runs out quick but its worth it to me :rotfl:
That will be a nice little guaranteed amount that will help chip away at the totals.
So I haven't been posting much as I was in Rome for a few days, not very MSE but I had a great time, we absolutely love it there.
Back to the grind today though, been so busy in work!

I didn't think to include my nectar points in Dolly, I used some of mine this year in the Sainsbobs nectar double up and managed to get some bargains for presents for this year so I think I will be doing that again for next year provided they offer it again. I'm currently a few pennies below £40 on my nectar card.
I have split my target up slightly, DS has asked me for a new bed, he rarely asks for anything, so my plan for his birthday is to have enough to buy him the bed he wants plus all other birthdays. I have a lot of birthdays fall in this period. My original target didn't cover this so I may have to increase my target for the year.Change the way you see things and the things you see will change0 -
I used some this year to buy my husband an X box game, £20 nectar points doubled up to £40 then paid the £7.99 cash - bargain!
Just gonna do that every year now as I always get him a game for his birthday.

Yes if there is something you would be buying anyway then it is definitely the best way to use your points IMO.Change the way you see things and the things you see will change0
