    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.

    Excellent, thanks for all the feedback everyone. I think I'll stay with cashback for the time being but we'll see, I don't want to start spending any more than I have to!

    could someone tell me a bit about ipoints and give me a few tips
  • basically signup and go through all the Free Points you can get first, i would recommend opening up a different e-mail address for ipoints as most of the stuff you sign up for would come through as spam.

    the points will be added between 10 and 30 days ive found, usually after about 5 days they add onto my account.

    after youve done all the free ones, start looking at claiming ipoints, this can be done whenever you buy something online, just click on the retailer your goin to through ipoints and just buy anything like you normally would and the points will register.

    its easy really, especially if you by alot online.

    o whenever you sign up for something to get points it has to be the e-mail address you used to signup through ipoints aswell, else they wont register.

    They also do surveys as well. I've been with them for several years, at first they never sent out surveys to me, but the past year i have been getting surveys every few days. I don't always get to complete the surveys, but my points have built up much quicker now.

    They also send you emails that if you click through them, you earn 10 points for each email link you click through. Not sure if i get all this because when signing up i requested to be in on all of this!! So, when signing up, just read it all carefully. As a result i have collected loads of ipoints.

  • I get ipoints every week by doing my grocery shopping online through mysupermarket.co.uk. Works out 1 ipoint for every pound spent. It takes about a week for them to show on your account. It is a really quick way to build them up - I have only been doing this since the end of June and have 1200 already.

    Sign up to https://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Administration/Registration.aspx

    Pick your supermarket, (currently available Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys & Ocado)choose your stuff. My supermarket.co.uk will suggest cheaper alternatives, better deals, or stuff with lower calories. Most weeks I save the cost of the delivery charge (around £4) with the suggestions.

    Happy ipoint collecting!:D
  • I exchanged some of my ipoints for a Nintendo DS a couple of months back, it's well worth having.

    I collect ipoints for everything I can. If you're buying something online, check with ipoints to see if the seller is registered with ipoints. I bought a portable aircon unit and got over 400 ipoints. I also do my weekly shop through mysupermarket.co.uk, complete surveys etc etc. It all adds up, I've over 9,000 ipoints at the moment.
  • I've just signed up for ipoints (via a survey website) but to be honest, for online purchases i think quidco is better value (£135 in the past 6 months).

    cheers

    if u mean the 150,000? then probably not . im guessiing the total points would be a % of the commission they earn .. so if your advertising a minimum wage job .. you'll get the minimum points while a £250K per annum job woudl get the 150,000 points.

    although im just guessing!

    remember spending is not saving. Going to run these deal thru the cashback maximised and see if they are better than normal cash back now but even on ebay you sell £180 amazon vouchers for at worst £160 for £49 profit.
