Brilliant day @CMD79. Who do you use for mystery shops? I tried some once many years ago, but they weren't much good.Making the debt go down and savings go up

Got the payment for my OH's FD bank switch today - woohoo! Not heard about mine yet even though I did them at same time - though I didn't have any DD's on mine so hoping that didn't affect it - couldn't see DD's mentioned in the details so will have to see.Make £10 a day 2026

£5 this morning cashed out from SB. Fingers crossed I might be back with more later.
Just adding another £2.03, from a cash out on Curious Cats...they are long and slow but pay out with £1 minimum and it all adds up.
So £7.03 in total today.Making the debt go down and savings go up

Got my first £6 paid into PayPal from Prolific - so far they seem great, and I've got another £6 pending

Mine paid out almost immediately after my DDs came out with First Direct. I'd have a look again if I were you, to make sure! Most I've seen say something like you have 60 days for 2 DDs to go out xx That's good on the ProlificHollie_Hobbie said:Got the payment for my OH's FD bank switch today - woohoo!

Oh heck! I can't find anything which says need the DDs but maybe it's assumed. I'll have to set up a couple of DDs on the account and hope it does the trick. At least they'll be set up the for the next switch.CMD79 said:

Good morning all!
We have 8 days left in October
and I am quite a way off my £20 a day!! But I have been earning it, so it'll give me a head start for November! I've not done as much activity this month either to be honest because we have lot going on at home.
I've totalled up and am at £99.78 altogether, so, 8 days to get £520.22 paid in is probably a little unlikely!! I'm going to try though!
@holly_hobby - I might be completely wrong of course about those DDs!
