@Soontobeoap - Welcome and go for it, which you seem to be doing! 😋🤗😁😂

Tattypud

Morning everyone, hope you're all having a good weekend and enjoying the sunshine.

Congrats on your win @Grumpy_chap 😊

This month I've managed to go over the halfway point for the challenge and I had my very first sale on eBay!

I mentioned before I was following someone on FB who had set a challenge for themselves and said I would share their suggestions. Most of them were survey sites, many of which I haven't heard of, but here is the list:

Bulbshare / Eureka / OnePoll / Attapoll / Curious Car / Social Tip

Checkoutsmart / MSR / Askable / Respondent / User Interviews / Consumer Pulse

I am not recommended any as I haven't had the chance to look into them but let me know if anyone uses them.

Aprils Stats

eBay £15.00

Vinted: £8.00

TopCashback: £57.93

Total: £80.93 / Overall Total: £1,117.80

I do have a few things in the pipeline:

Market survey £80 / TesterUp £13.30 and now I've cracked eBay I just need to make a start on Etsy. I think I will still be saying that in December 😂

@ Tattypud - Congratulations on your over halfway £2026 mark - AWESOME! Depending on what you're selling, you may want to consider Vinted too to sell your unwanted items. I always sold far more on Vinted and managed to fully declutter the whole house last year 😉 completing the make £2025 in 2025 challenge nearly 5 times over whilst cluttering up my additional Emergency Savings Account at the same time.

I too haven't heard of many of the sites you have mentioned in your post, but will probably take a look at a few some point as every little helps with this challenge. However, I'm very wary of sites that may hide spyware working in the background, it's been known before. Fortunately, I have good spyware programmes in place, so any site having anything untoward, will automatically get blocked and kick me out of any attempted access of the site - I'll share any here, if any pop up 😉 but hopefully, not!

For April my total is £315. This includes £100 for a market research online interview It is the first time I have done one of these but would like to do more on the future if I can. I also had a small competition win - a book valued at £20.

I have just signed up for the Discount for Teachers website (I am educational admin staff) and am looking forward to seeing if I can earn any cash back through there going forwards.

@ BrisbaneJane - Great going for April 🤩😎. I know they'll be discounts available through the Teachers website, but I found at times that there were better savings through discounts / cashbacks available by using a discount voucher(s) codes; easily available online & using TopCashBack for cashback at the same time.

Almost there, and it's always the last few pounds and pence that takes the longest to get 😅😂🤣.

@Tattypud Thanks for sharing, I love seeing other people's suggestions and trying out to see what suits me so I'll enjoy browsing these over the weekend!

I use Askable, Respondent and User Interviews and get reasonable amounts back from each of them. Askable has an app where you apply, and new ones crop up daily depending on your profile. I have good success with the AI ones here, usually £5-15 a go.
Respondent is a more typical application process for market research and will only pay to Paypal under $20, with others being given through an e-voucher. I've enjoyed some lovely takeaways as a result of these and Deliveroo being one of their options ;)
User Interviews are often quick tests, and pay between $1-8 for me
