IPoints - Is it worth it?

Hi,

I have been registered with them for a while now and keep receiving emails. I have only accumulated about 500 points so far and was asking myself whether it was worth it. Any comments are much appreciated.

Sorry if posted in the wrong place.

Thanks.

  • I havent bought anything through ipoints but now have nearly 4k in points, if you can be bothered to get the emails and click the banners/polls it's worth it cos you're going to get free stuff for about 30secs time each day.
    I've had 2 twice the spice vouchers and given them to my family. Just saving the points at the moment til something takes my fancy.

    I've managed to get 390 or so in the last few days, I just visit the site and go to the free points section. They haven't emailed me about anything since registration though...

  • The site is playing up at the moment and once I log in it doesn't register that I have done it,so have to do it again..........and again. Contacted they and they said try going via internet explorer for the time being so off to try it now. I have 1276 points and want to redeem them to get a 12 month subscription to 'glamour' magazine ...wish me luck.

    I managed to get up to around 5000 quite easily without spending a penny. I got a 12 month magazine subscription with it.
    Now I've just reached 2000 again!
  • I have been doing it for about 2 years and am up to 3,700 points, but there doesn't ever seem to be much I can spend them on. I don't buy anything. Just do the surveys and click throughs.

    I joined in sept and have had over 4000 points since then, I mostly do surveys and clickthrough and a once monthly shop through mysupermarket but the points are accumulating really fast imo shame I've not had the cd I ordered at the end of Jan but they are looking into that with their supplier apparently.

    I have just accumulated 6000 points and traded them in for a £30.00 Butlins voucher .
    Only took 2 months to get that much .
    Prefer them to some other sites .
