    Wrote my Christmas cards today and the good news is apart from needing a pack for DD's class I won't need any cards next year either!

    hi everyone, my points with toluna are adding up nicely at the moment. got 28000 so far and only started doing surveys about 2/3 weeks ago.
    also been doing some for mums opinions and got up to £3.50 on there so far, they pay out at £10 (tesco or boots vouchers).
    not really got much to update on my total at the minute, but keeping look out for more mystery shops this week!

    count me in....I will be giving personal gifts to a lot of people...I have bees so I have jars of honey and I make jam, marmalade, pickles and relishes etc. I label them up and put them in something like a shoebox which I cover in xmas paper. I have an allotment and have loads of stuff over....I make the stuff all year and then pack up hampers for xmas.

    how do you get so many points on Toluna? I've done the "interest" sureys at 500pts and the sponsored polls at 15pts each - and am only at 9000pts

    Toluna seem to send loads of surveys by email. i don't always qualify but they soon mount up.

    Cashed in £25 with cashback rewards today. I like that site as they credit you with £2.50 when you cash out so it's not like starting back at the beginning. Will add the £25 when it's received.

    I love the sound of this and I think I will try for it, if no one minds me joining in?

    So far I have £12 in Paypal, £20 in Christmas/Birthday savings and £9.53 in piggypoints!

    So running total is £41.53!

    I also have some lightspeed points but I'm not sure what my total is. Not a bad start is it.
    Current debt - £16,300 :(
    Debt at worst 17/03/2011 - £18,067.62:eek::eek:

  • sashacat - they sound like fab gifts, wish I knew someone like you!

    Lucy - welcome, sounds like you're off the starting blocks already!

    I can't believe how well people are doing when we haven't even had this Christmas yet!

    well... just wrote right long reply and my puter decided to frizz out... so here we go again...!:mad:

    jamtart, toluna send alot of email surveys ranging from like 1800-4500 points (this is what ive had so far) sometimes you dont qualify but for the ones you do qualify for, the points do soon add up like chocaholic says.

    ew, i checked nectar site yesterday and weve got 3900 points on there! i didnt know anything about this, so bit of an added bonus! (500 points= £2.50 off at argos)
    so i shall add this to my sig! :D
