    OK, i think i sussed it out.

    There is no minimum deposit required rather than no deposit. I guess you could deposit £5 and if you could make it last £400 worth of betting you would qualify.

    Not that bad a deal if you could do it.

    I don't know if this is the right place, please move if not!

    I just wanted to mention that I signed up to ipoints a while ago and now they send me an email every couple of days, usually rubbish, but 90% of the time they say "Get 10 ipoints when you click through to find out about so-and-so". An ipoint is worth 1p so I get 10p every couple of days just by clicking onto a website. I usually exit out of the website as well before it loads (I just watch the bottom left of my screen and when it changes from https://www.ipoints.co.uk to the name of the website I know it has gone through the referrer) and I still get the points.

    Occasionally as well they send you offers like get 250 ipoints by ordering a free catalogue, or an even larger amount by buying something. I have never done this, but if it happened to come up when I was looking for that particular item I would consider it. Lots of sites seem to accept ipoints as a sort of loyalty card scheme too.

    Does anyone else use ipoints?

    i am a member.10 points is worth 4 pence. If you go to the home of this site you can find the tool to calculate what your points are worth on the right hand side. They have made a mistake though and you need to divide the points by 10 (add a decimal point before the last number).

    I've been a member of ipoints for several years and have received quite a few vouchers from them.

    A good way to boost your account by 80 points each month is by using Webfetch. Type webfetch into ipoints search engine and register at webfetch, using same log in details as your account at ipoints.

    Each 30 searches you do at Webfetch rewards you with 20 ipoints. These can be done really quickly and points are rewarded very fast.

    Ipoints used to be good but they like to devalue them every so often. They usually try to do it by stealth, i.e. last time they increased the number of ipoints you would get by doing a sign up or answering a poll but then also increased the number of ipoints required per reward by more. In the end you are always worse off. They are not worth bothering with anymore sadly.
  • i use ipoints quite a bit for when im buying stuff etc and the clickin through the emails for the 10 points each time, i got just under 8,000 points at the mo.

    Hello,

    Has anyone heard of the online rewards program ipoints? They give you points whenever you go on to purchase from a shop that is linked through their site.

    I've used quidco and rpoints before but not heard of this new one ipoints and just wondering if anyone on here has any experience with them?

    Thanks,

    John

  • Hi John,

    I've used ipoints for quite some time now and find it quite good. I only ever really use the free ipoints through clicks etc. Have managed to get quite a few cd's, dvd's etc from them.

    I'm sure if you put ipoints into the search engine on the forum you'll come across many different opinions.

    I have used ipoints for quite a while now and the rewards you can spend your points on are going to sort a few of my xmas pressies this year!

    Unfortunately I discovered them before I found places like Quidco and Cash Back Kings so have done some free trials and shopping etc for ipoints that I could have got actual money back for!

    I'd suggest looking at what cash back you can get first so you can weigh up if the points are worth it.

    Ipoints is quite good for sending emails and doing polls for free points also you can earn points by doing surveys for them.

    I haven't signed up for many things via them use quidco for cash etc but am over halfway to getting a £30 Amazon voucher which isn't bad for doing some clicking.
