    Well, I guess its after a run like that that you get the most benefit - as long as you keep doing it again!

    I, meanwhile, like the surfer I am :) have been on ipoints collecting this that and the other. Decided to look through the rewards, and almost abandoned the idea of ever returning, but then I came across this:

    for 7,400 points, I can have a voucher for £30 at one of M&S, Boots, Curry's, Debenhams or Woolies. Its well hidden.

    And then, there's this offer for Paddypower bingo: 6,250 ipoints / £10 deposit and wager - EXTRA ipoints this month I already have 2,200 ipoints, for no spend, so if I spent £10 at paddypower bingo (which I'm not a member of) I could get a £30 M&S voucher? My mum likes M&S vouchers :o

    Am I not seeing something?

    looks good to me KC!!

    I have been doing qype all day - have qualified for my £50 amazon voucher, and earned enough points for an ipod shuffle which I have ordered :D

  • must check and see if i am a member of paddypower bingo, that seems a good offer.

    Hello Karma, yep ipoints are really that straightforward - they are really good if you can afford to do some of the paid stuff like bingo. Even doing the free things and surveys adds up fairly quickly.

    Hope it's all going well today!

    I checked with paddy customer service - its the same account as for matched betting ... mind you, spend £10, get £30 .... thats as good as a £20 matched bet, isn't it! I think I'll still probably do it. Might make a fiver profit from the bingo too, you never know. And I'll be eligible for the free bets too, maybe!

  • I think i mucked it up a bit, did the offer and deposited £10 and because i really don't like footy or anything played the lottery, had a look and it doesn't give the extra for the lottery..oh poo!
    Hopefully i should get the Ipoints though because i played the lottery.

    Oh rats, Bob - sorry to hear that - thats the problem, isn't it, this stuff is finicky. I've just seen the ice hockey thing at partybets, and will use the money I've got in there to do it - they nicked £4 off me last week for dormancy, and it costs a lot to withdraw. But its a *really* finicky offer, and I'm reduced to reading through the thread and making notes. OTOH, its a weekly offer, so they say, so it should net a regular fiver or so. And gets me back into matched betting, which I'm not doing - the French accounts aren't cooperating, or I'm not cooperating with them.

    So, projects:
    - French accounts.
    - party bets ice hockey.
    - qype.
    - continuing trading.
    - online banking/finance summary.

    Thats a few days' work, actually. And there's minor things like, oh, having a life. And looking after my house and garden. Still, the accounts are genuinely urgent, some stuff has to be in France by 28th November. Off I go.

    Aaargghhhh! I've been obsessed by the s*dding qype challenge, and completely didn't realise that I have to sign up for the amazon thing separately. I'm a ninja and I still have to do 50!!!!!!!!!! Can't do anything now, but no way I'm going to let *that* get away! Arrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
