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??)

Jamtart - Valued Opinions (survey site) gives M&S vouchers - pays out once you reach £10.
Hope this helps!

Hello:santa2:
Have been away for work and stuff so haven't had time to sort stuff out much yet, think I will really go for it when this christmas is out of the way.
However, I was sent a link to www.freebieGB.co.uk today which looks like it might have some good voucher opportunities!

Another £5 for the challenge

I had a girlie day out with my daughters today and took them out to lunch. one of their dinners was not very nice so when asked if everyrhing was Ok I said NO. They didn't charge me for the meal so that's £5 saved!!

I have decided to only count cashback and survey money when I cash it because I will get confused!! Have a few survey sites nealr ready to cash out - GTM just need another 50 points then that will be about £24

What survey sites do other people do?

I'm trying to get to grips with the daily clicks but not doing to well - can't find some of them and still trying to negociate my way round the sites but hopefull will make a few pounds form these this year

I did a list of all the ones I'm signed up to here - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=7163747&postcount=98

You can find most of them by googling the names of the sites but if you want any links just let me know!

Thank you for the link Red squirrel - I'll look through them later some of them I'm already signed upto. I lost most of my login details when I my computer died, and I changed my ISP so I am trying to contact the ones I know I joined to see if the can let me know my details

Which ones do you find payout best? I have some success with GTM and IPSOS but not much with many others

Just out of interest - this is from the post where I first thought a free Christmas could be possible. It's what i redeemed between Jan - October this year from various sites. I have had more vouchers since from Pigsback, ipsos, pinecone and valued opinions but haven't counted them. Also, I redeemed £25 from pureProfile but it hasn't gone in the bank yet - it took me a year to get it, OH joined up a couple of months ago and has £20 already - obviously they want to know more about him than me! Also I will be ready to cash out fairly soon at Cashback rewards and Mutual Points and OH and I both have nearly enough for more vouchers from test and Vote.

Anyway, here goes...

Cash

Ciao £19.20
Cashback rewards £102
Free Fivers £98.31
Mutual Points £60
My Shopping Rewards £45.56
Quidco £192.15
RPoints £6.47
TopCashBack £45.34
Home of research £20.75


Vouchers

Lightspeed (OH and I) £70 Amazon / HMV vouchers
Test and Vote £36 HMV vouchers
Pigsback £40 Boots Vouchers
Pinecone research £20 luncheon vouchers
Valued Opinions £30 Argos vouchers
IPSOS access panel £55 Argos vouchers
Ipsos TV survey £20 Amazon e-voucher

I've had most from Lightspeed, Valued Opinions, ToLuna and Consumer Pulse. Ciao used to be good but you now seem to have to do a lot more survey for your money with them!
