Hi shopaholic,

dont want this to be a silly question, but what is factfinders and shop and scan? Thanks

Basically, they are both invitation-only schemes where you receive a scanner and you scan your weekly grocery shopping in return for points, which can be exchanged for vouchers or gifts. I got invited to Fact Finders through a toluna survey, and I put a request in to join shop and scan through a link my friend sent me. I'll see if I can find it, and post it on here if I can. Must warn though it took about 3 months before I got asked to join.

ETA - Link is http://www.volunteer4panels.com/ click on application form, then at the bottom where it says other info, put that you are interested in shop and scan.

Got £60 profit from a mystery shop paid today, woohoo. And two more Amazon sale payments on the way

Gemmzie you are doing really well

Just mailed off my ebay stuff and made £54.05 profit so I am pleased with that .

For the bingo I had a win on Sunday (with the dailyrecord) but used a Visa card for my deposit to withdraw the money . I have checked my Visa Card statement online and the deposit money has been taken out but no sign of my withdrawal money and winnings. Should i be expecting a cheque from them?

Received my £20 worth of Boots vouchers from Pigsback today that I requested at the start of December. Now just sent off for another so will count that when it arrives too

Micky mouse,

You should get it credited to the card you used and get an email confirming that the money is credited. There is a gap between taking your money and giving you it back though - usually a couple of days, so keep an eye on it.

I am up to £331.60 in the challenge now, mainly thanks to getting a £200 from barclays stockbrokers as they were giving away free money in June if you opened a stockbroker account. Had to leave it sitting there for 6 months and finally got around to ringing up and getting my cheque.

I've won nothing on the bingo and not many sites will let me sign up

Still got another £26.58 today in a cheque from a survey site

thanks for that Babs. I will keep an eye on it and check the online statement in a couple of days . I want to make sure i get my winnings as this is the first time i have done the bingo and and want to make sure it is ok before tackling the other bingo sites.

well done on your stockbroker money:D

Well just as I thought that I would be adding nothing else to my total this month a £10 Boots voucher from Pigsback turned up today that I had ordered before Christmas and forgotten about. So I am now on £58:j

finallydebtfree!!

I used my £10 consumer pulse voucher for the cinema last night, treated myself and SIL to an evening at the cinema to see PS I love you (granted I saw it as a free film preview......but I enjoyed it!!:))

Also have £9.48 from using my boots points to buy a couple of gift sets in the 75% off sale to put away for next christmas (look at me being organised!!...........again!!:D)

That brings my total to £23.99
