The 2008 Olympic Challenge thread

Wow, everyone is doing so well! :T I've got some catching up to do! LOL.

I have been accepted to do the Elections for our local council, so even though the cheque won't be with me until 1st May, I'm going to add it on to my total if that's okay- just to make it look better! So that's £108 less tax= £81.
I also won £3 on a scratch off my mum bought me, so I am adding that on as well :j
(couldnt have just won the whole £1000 to make it easier for myself could I!) :rotfl:

The penny has finally dropped with Retail Eyes... I have to go on the website to check for assignments...! I wondered why they'd not emailed me with any, that will be why then!

Also registered with another mystery shopping site, but have forgotten the name already. Might have been Gap buster actually...

There was something else but can't remember what... (my memory is obviously not good today is it... )

Hi,

Just a question about mystery shopping. Are there any opportunities for surveying customer service over the phone? Meaning are there any companies out there needing people to make phone calls and then rate the customer service received?

PS waiting eagerly to get my first Bingo winnings on my account so that can officially start this challenge :j

Fantastic panda you forgot to add the archerfish big wins lol

Oh yeah! But then since I only add things to this challenge when I actually see the cash arrive, I'll probably have to wait until the 2020 Olympic Challenge to be able to count that! But I'll have to remember to count it in the £10 a day - I'm up to 41p in my account now and have won the 0.1p about 5 times! So that'll mean you've got at least another 0.00000000004p in your account for the referral!

Another £83 to add for me today - sold some old jewellery, mostly odd earrings and chains but a couple of rings and gold bracelet I got for my 18th (not worn it in years though). Took my wedding/engagement/eternity rings too but brought them home as I couldn't face parting with them (how sad is that?!)

Think the car boots out of the window guys, weather forecast is cr4p for the whole weekend so I doubt we'll be doing the boot now
Don't know if anyone else is around the same area as me but its blowing a gale here! (Sheffield)

On the plus side, I have a few bits I am thinking of selling at cash coverters (Okay, I know they can rip you off with stuff), but I've got an old 'phone to sell whats just sitting around and I probably wouldn't get much for it on a car boot anyway.

NOggin - have you tried envirofone fr you old phone? Go via quidco and have a look, I've always found them to pay a reasonable amount (and you get even more if you take it as argos credit)

sweetpeas_2

chick, ill have a goosey's at the tomorrow. Have you used them before? Ive never heard of it to be honest.

Do you send them your phone then and then they credit your account or something? or do they pay it into your bank account?

sorry for the questions, its just ive never heard of it before!

They recycle phones, I've used them a few times. You put in your phone details on the website, and they tell you how much they'll give you. If you agree, they send you out a freepost envelope and you send them your phone.

Once they've checked it over, they either confirm the amount or if the phone is faulted in any way they revise the amount, but you get the option to accept or refuse. If you refuse they will return you phone to you.

My last phone was worth £18 odd in perfect condition. It was totally wrecked, kept switching itself off and had a crackd screen. I expected them to give me a fiver at most but they gave me almost £13.

I'd recommend them to anyone. If you go via quidco I think its about £4 cashback for a first phone, then £1.49 for each subsequent one. They're recommended by Martin, along with another couple compnaies who recycle, but these are the only one I've ued personally.

I've used Envirophone twice and they've been great, really easy to do, quick, great communication - emails to confirm they had the phone and how much I'd get etc. - no more phones left here atm as I've been very good and haven't had my upgrade yet as my phone work's fine still (cue for it to break now :rolleyes:)
