    Hi MollyMop, has Quidco already paid you the money into your bank account? I'm not sure how this works as the mistake is theirs but if it's an obvious mistake then I think the onus is on you to query it. If I was you, I'd bank it safely and wait to see what happens in case it's a bit like the tax credits overpayments and they get charged back next time around. Have you clocked up any more since the payment transaction and are you sure it wasn't some sort of bonus system they had? Greasypalm sometimes offer double cashback at weekends. Good luck, anyway, I hope it's a genuine payment, although I'm not entirely sure that it'll be tax free - seems to depend who you are speaking to at the tax office and I know mine was classed as earnings for tax purposes last year and I've been told I should now start counting in my vouchers as these are seen as equivalent to income! Hmph! That's why I had to change my totals about to keep this challenge (for me) completely tax free.

    I've managed to get back on to Gala and claimed some free tickets, so their earlier problem must have been resolved. Not holding my breath waiting for a win, though! What's everyones' opinions on the National Lottery? I stopped it as I saw it as a waste of £1 a week.

    Edited in: I'm back again, I have managed to fit everything into my newly updated signature and have split the homebased enterprise from the interest beater (just to confuse everyone and keep me right.) The homebased part is going to be through business account and the interest beater is the completely tax free part but I'm not counting in vouchers or cashback, as they will be classed as 'other income'. Hmm... now I really do need to catch up with my paperwork and accounts as I'm not sure what I have sold since start of new tax year. Have I made & sold or bought & sold anything? :eek:

    I had my free bets on betfair and just won £17.40 on the Oaks when my little 'place bet' horsey came in 2nd. I've withdrawn the £10 already and left £7.40 for the Derby tomorrow, so I am a happy chappy and my interest beater challenge fund just increased 6.6% - gone to update my signature now. :D

    Hi Nyk it was my home insurance.should have been £90 cashback which meant I'd get a years free insurance as it only cost me £87.37 lol.
    It paid out x 5 though :o

    It is safely banked and if it hasn't been requested back by xmas then it will be spent.
    lost my way but now I'm back ! roll on 2013

    HI,

    I am on a roll!!!!

    I just transferred £85 from bingo to my account on Monday, today I was able to transfer further £40 from another bingo and also I did this:

    "Originally Posted by consumers_revenge viewpost.gif
    Mine went like this so wait till day 7

    friday - sign up and download software - DONT DEPOSIT

    Monday £10 offer - just leave it alone
    Wednesday £20 offer - do nothing
    FRIDAY got another £20 email offer.

    Dont take any of the offer or put any promo codes in.

    Select play for real from the software you downloaded earlier

    Deposit £25 of your cash ( visa debit would be best ) just dont put in any offer or promo codes !!!!!

    Play a 1 dollar game of something then logout.

    When you log back in you will get a £50 bonus.

    Go to withdrawals, then take the lot out ( £74 ) ( cheque or via visa debit )

    It really is that easy......"

    It is for pl@y b0y casino. I started this last week and today I played my pound and while playing it actually won £9.- so I am £58 better off which I have also transferred to my bank account today. Will update my signature after I reconcile my bank account. That is £183,- in a week!! HAPPY DAYS!!

    This one I will HAVE to try. I could do with a boost in the tax free zone :)

    I found an offer to sign up to Blackpool Bingo today. I went via cashback site offering £25 when you deposited £10 but before I even deposited, I was awarded a £21 bonus. I played a few games and won a few pounds, so deposited my £10. That instantly credited me with a further £10 bonus. So, I quickly withdrew £30 (my £10 plus their £20) and it appears to have gone through, but says to allow 21 days for a bank draft. The bonus dropped to £5 but it's playing through now. IF this works, it will be £20 profit on the games plus £25 cashback! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the bankdraft comes through soon, making another £20 for this challenge :) I'm just trying a few of their options for playing the Bonus at the moment.

    Thank you Nyk SO much for this.

    I also signed up to them (unfortunately not through cash back site) I didn't deposit but played with the £21 they gave me and won so I am up £33ish now. Then stopped playing as wanted to find out if I can cash it or if they have some wagering requirements but hadn't got around it yet as I am neck deep in the world of betting. Can you please keep me posted as then I know that I can just deposit and then pull the money out? Thanks!!!!!

    Marru

    PS tonight my wish is that Italy scores first and that Holland wins as then my day would be perfect!!! Either way I will win but this way I would win a tad more as I gambled with some of my SNR free bets. (Going now to the corner to hang head in shame :o as true matched better don't gamble)

    Have PMd you the details, just in case I'm not allowed to link to it here. Good luck! Oh, and the free £21 bonus doesn't show up until you log back into your account, it doesn't automatically refresh - just in case you think it hasn't been awarded :)

    Thanks for letting me know,but I actually already had an account with them.When I went to check them out...as I haven't touched them in ages they had taken my previously accrued cashback.I reckon I had about £8 there.Oh well.
    But that really doesn't matter...thanks to you NYK I have won £16 and £114.Now I owe you.So I'm gonna PM you an offer as thank you gift,I hope you accept.
    MSE and the members here have made and saved me £100's.
