Hi all. We changed our gas/electric a couple of months ago-in fact I'd almost forgotten, but today we received a £25 marks and spencers voucher - going towards christmas 2008!!!!! woo hoo!!! (ok so i sound a bit sad, but I was soooooooo excited when I opened it!!!!!)

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this already but if you're signed up with Toluna, pop on their revamped website. They've added questions to the interest area questionnaires you fill out (I can't remember the exact name of the things but it's categories like money, cars, hobbies, etc) and if you redo them all, you get 500 points per category and they gave me 2000 bonus points for recompleting them all

It was a very nice surprise! I only ordered a voucher at the end of November and I'm way back up into the 51k's worth of points already.

hi pippo im registered with pigsback and quidco but never use them, mainly cos i dont understand! what do you do one pigsback to earn you the points for vouchers? not to sound thick but it confuses me

Hi Noggin,
If you go to the Freebies (no spend require) Board they explain Pigsback better than I ever can:rotfl:
but basically you earn points through looking at their adverts (clicks) or buying through their partners. The points can be converted into vouchers for big named stores such as Boots or John Lewis.

Quidco are a cashback co-operative site so if you buy through them the companies they promote pay them the commission which is passed back to the members.
Last week my car insurance was up for renewal @ £147.87 - I did all the searches that Martin suggested and found nothing cheaper, but via quidco Hallifax would give me the same cover for £149.50.
I bought the insurance via Quidco and in a couple of months time will get £40 back:j .
The site features many mainstream sellers who give back a % of your spend and dedicated Quidcoers 'click' on price comparison sites etc toearn extra money.
I'm sure there is a thread that explains this too, but I AM thick and haven't mastered links yet!!
I was very dubious about these sites at first, but have received £287 back from Quidco in the last year. Hope this helps, rather than confuses you more
PM if you wish,
Pip

Popped in to Boots yesterday and managed to get three christmas presents and saved myself £60 :eek:

Also got lots of wrapping paper which was 75p a roll and had matching tags for 10p :T so I should now have enough paper.

I'm finding things are slowly down now I'm not getting sent any surveys, am only half way to a voucher on pigsback and nothing really on quidco! might pop into boots today though and see if they have any bargains left
