    Hello all! Yes will update this link on "our" post on C&S too!

    You lot seem well into your surveys and cashback sites. Can I ask - where are the best places (survey sites etc) to earn

    a) Marks & Spencer Vouchers
    b) HMV online gift vouchers
    c) Argos Vouchers (is this Nectar points??)

    As these are the 3 I seem to shop at mostly for Christmas anyway. I use pigsback for Boots and CDWOW.

    Thanks in advance for any helps :D

    :ABeing Thrifty Gifty again this year:A

  • HMV - Lightspeed (550 points for a £5 e-voucher) or Toluna (60,000 points for a £12 e-voucher - sounds a lot but it soon builds up).

    Argos - I've had lots of £10 vouchers from IPSOS (Only cashed in one two weeks ago and I'm halfway to the next one) and Valued Opinions.

    M&S - sorry can't help you there!

    Sea78 has a link to many of the sites in her post on page 1

    I get Argos vouchers from Consumer Pulse but they aren't recruiting new members (as far as I know.) You can also earn Nectar points (use at Argos) from TNS surveys.

    You used to be able to sign up to TNS through the Nectar website. If not, there is a thread on the referrers' board as current TNS members can refer people to the site. :D

    Checked Nectar points today - £30.50p.
    Mortgage and Debt free but need to increase savings pot. :think:
  • Oh can I join in please!!

    So far I have:
    Pigsback:1389 points (£13.89)
    Paypal acc from ebaying: about £20
    Greasypalm: £22.39
    Saving £10 a week into non-accessable account: £70
    Probably points somewhere else but can't remember at the moment

    Total so far: £126.28

    Also about £45 worth of nectar points but they are earmarked for new kitchen bits when I get a new kitchen so they don't count

    That looks ok already but if I can do christmas 2008 without touching the £10 a week savings that'll be brillant!

  • Wow we are already getting prepared for Christmas 2008. Martin will be proud of us. I have stored a nice amount of cash in the sealed tin challange already and start my Christmas savings for pressies end of month. I do not do surveys etc but will save my Boots points and will do 'top ups' at Mr T's at least one a month. I also take part in the shopping challange so any cash I end with when I am under budget will go into tin as well. Looking forward to a free Christmas next year. :T
  • Blimey, some of you are doing fantastically well and we haven't even had this Christmas yet!

    Ches, thanks for that, will give it a try.

    ClaireJones - welcome and I'll add you to the list!
