Ipsos/I-Say Amazon Redemptions

Silvercloud

I logged in to my I-Say account tonight to check my balance and to my surprise found that the £10 Amazon codes were listed as 1000 points as opposed to the usual long standing 1380 points.

I had a balance of 2560 and had been waiting to claim 2 codes when I reached 2760 but I was able to get both for 2000 points and have 560 left over.

There is also a £2 voucher for 200 now but weirdly the £5 option is still priced at the old value of 690 points.(I'm desperately resisting the urge to use that awful American phrase 'do the math').

Has anyone else noticed this recent discrepancy?

You are right - I hadnt noticed that. Makes it significantly better value then the compliments vouchers! However, I cant but the same range of food so - choices choices.

I hadn't noticed the £10 ones as I rarely get that far but had noticed that I would be able to get 3 of the new £2 ones for 600 points rather than a £5 one for the usual 690. Just need another 25 points to get there.

I claimed 2 x £10 Amazon ones a week or so back at the new stated rate without any problems. They went through and I have not had any emails to tell me I have to replace any missing points

They have to "sell" them to you at that rate. It sounds like its been at that rate for a while.

Just dont go emailing them saying "oi, why is this so cheap!"

No chance of me doing that,the way I look at it is if they made a mistake it is down to them and I love a deal :0)

I'm glad I had a few points banked to take advantage of it if it does turn out to be a glitch though the new £2 code would suggest it's not.

I always thought the 1380 points for £10 was pretty stingy especially as Ipsos surveys are amongst the most long winded and frankly boring.It certainly took me a long while to reach that target though I know some people claim to make quite a bit from them on a monthly basis.

It's not a glitch and it's not quite new. I am interested only in amazon vouchers anyway, so I was thrilled to see this change, although it was implemented just days after I redeemed a £5 voucher. I never have the patience to wait until I have enough for £10, so the x3 £2 for 600 points option is perfect for me. Redeemed them twice since. I get £6 now, every 2.5 weeks or so on average. Not sure if it qualifies as quite a bit or not.

Cheers, haven't used them for about 6 months before seeing this thread, got two screen-outs and then had enough for £6.

(and the codes were received within 10 mins)

Sounds about par for the courses with Ipsos. I dont get anywhere near as many surveys with them as I do from others, but enough for a tenner every so often, which is better then a kick in the goolies.
