stressed.mum

Hi Noggin

If it is your first online shop you will get piggy points with Tesco, then yes you need to get 1000 points to get a voucher

There is a good thread on the freebie board that will tell you where the free sign ups etc are

New totals:

£10 Schuh Giftcard
£25 HMV Giftcard
£10 Leisure Voucher
£5 Sainsbury Voucher
£10 Next Giftcard
£20.06 Pigsback
£20.52 Boots Advantage Card
17850 points Toluna (30000 converted into £5 Sainsbury's voucher - arrived!)
£7.53 Nectar points

£108.11 Approx total

It's been a while since I've posted. I've converted some points to vouchers. I tried to use the Leisure voucher to get a Book token but no luck.

I used some No7 Skincare vouchers recently to get some No7 Men's product so hopefully they'll be useful for some hampers. Need to take a proper look at my current present stash to see if anything can be recycled for Xmas. So far I've definitely got one present set aside for 1/11 people and it's cost free as it's recycled.

Apparently word on the street is that PB will be doing M&S vouchers which should be good.

I'm going away in a week's time for approx 3 weeks so I will be leaving strict instructions for whoever is topping up my phone in Boots by telling to go to the machine to print out some coupons. I will have internet access when I'm away, not sure if it will be daily though! :rolleyes:

Keep up the good work! Only 9 months to go until Xmas!

I called into Boots today to pick up the mag (and managed not to buy anything:j ) to see what points coupons they have in there and what's on the ACM. There's some that are for same product so double points, yey. So I think I'll be popping in tomorrow to get a few stocking fillers/hamper fillers and boosting my points balance too. I'm then considering using some points to buy No7 products to get GWP as i do need some things but should I wait until I've got enough piggy points for a voucher and then I'll earn points instead of spending them?(oh the dilemma:D )

Did a survey with New Vista today and it was worth £4:j . Not too tedious either.
I'm afraid I got bored half way through another with Global Test Market and gave up (the shame:o ) and was v annoyed to get half through one with valued opinions to then be told I didn't qualify:mad: .

I think I may give up with some when I've reached enough to redeem otherwise I fear I might go mad!

I think I'll go back to my knitting, lol.

Hi all,
I have to say it is hard to keep reminding myself that this money is for Christmas when the 'little devil' on my shoulder keeps whispering "you need a holiday" in my ear. Anyway I have £23 from Quidco to add to my total. I think I need about £800 for Christmas - so am almost half way there. :j Now must remember to keep away from all of those lovely budget flight sites.:rolleyes:

How far away from a voucher are you and how much longer is the GWP available?

hi :hello:

I've just done my first survey for global test market
I can't find anywhere on the site tells you how many points you need before you can cash in- anyone got any clues?

HI Noggin

It's 1000MP to cash in. Sounds a lot but normally it's quite quick - I cash at least twice a year. You get about £25 cheque. There is a tab at the top of the page that says Market Points, click on that and it will tell you how many you have got

I'm about 200 points away from £10 voucher, but have been thinking it doesn't really make ant difference really. If I spend the boots points I'll still have the piggy voucher for future. I've not been yet tho,
Might go this afternoon as DS2 is itching to spend some of his pocket money - he got PS2 for £25 from second hand shop with his leftover xmas money and there's PS2 games for £3 in Cash converters so i think he wants to go there. (I'm teaching them well don't you think:D )
