Re: Nectar points being slow to pay out, I think they're having a few issues. I won quite a few points on their spin to win at the beginning of December and they were supposed to pay out at the end of January. Have had to chase them every few days because they still haven't appeared in the account and I keep getting told by CS that it will take 24 hours...🙄Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20172

Gah! Sorry to hear that 🙁 I'm having a similar issue with i-Say, they set me going on a 5-day survey only to stop sending me invites after a couple of days. I queried why and they told me they had had to close it early as they had enough respondents. I have no issue with that, but I would like to be credited for the surveys that I did do for them in good faith! They initially told me they'd get back to me the week before last, but when I chased them last week they said they didn't have the answer yet. Actually, will chase them again now - thanks for making me think of it! Fingers crossed for us both 🤞!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

It turns out I've not heard from them since 26/01 - that's nearly two weeks now, after they told me they'd let me know the week before 🙁 It's worth nearly £3, so I'm not happy about missing out!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Hi Bargainhunter, I have thought about it but I'm so bad at maths I'm just worried I'll b*gger it up. I know people say you get talked through it and you literally can't get it wrong, but I am so truly awful with numbers and my brain always gets them backwards that I'm still not brave enough 🙁
You're miles ahead of me DFOD - I'm on £13.63 😮!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Gah! Here is a real-life example of my dreadfulness with numbers....
Just started a survey and the first question was a screening one with a list of simple calculations (probably about 5 or 6 of them in total).
Question: "Select one of the correct calculations"
Me: Glances over the first two, sees that the second one (13 + 2 = 15) is correct, doesn't look at calculations 3 and onwards, selects the first on the list: 1 + 1 = 1
Screened out.... 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Now of course I could try to pass it off as being tired, but if I'm incapable of reading the questions properly and actually concentrating on the answers then you can understand why I have been reluctant to give matched betting a go 😳!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
