    I've made about £270 in cashback websites so far in 2008
    Only bought one present so far (well half of it between me and mum) - that was £2 as we already had part of the present
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155

    Thats not just from free clicking - it includes necessary purchases which I have made through cashback sites too:

    Two train journeys booked through Pigsback = £70 back in vouchers
    I won one of the daily Pigsback quizzes yesterday = £20
    Car insurance: lowest quote found through Quidco + £70 cashback
    Signed up to Gala Bingo through Moneyback Madness which paid out £25 for a £10 deposit (and as a bonus I won £19 on the site too)

    The rest were clicks and a few little purchases

    pigsback has gone right down the pan. best advice is set up a spreadsheet of all the newletter sign ups you do. open a new hotmail account and register on PB with that as you get lots of spam from companies who you sign up with. you get 10pts instant a week and 2-6 click throughs worth 5p each. im not trusting pigsback to shop and earn through them at the moment, quidco are more reliable, so i just do sign ups/offers/instant point quizzes etc. used to be able to get £1 a week ish, now its about 20p - does build up eventually!

    Thank you, think jut attempt to get to one payout, the thing is Greasy palm has lost a alot of its daily clicks, gone back upto 7p a day, unless you get an ins policy etc, think there concentrating on them.

    Cheers again x

    I signed up for cash back rewards - seemed to long winded.

    These are my main ones
    favourite - Mutual Points
    Quidco
    Greasy Palm - loseing the will to live with them
    Pigs back - dont think its worth it unless you spend a lot with them

    One Poll - seems ok
    Toluna - Not to bad, just fill in mini surveys - do them weekly
