    I'm so so happy today, my big research has come through and I received £110 in amazon vouchers! I was really worried I wasn't going to receive this as it seemed very easy work for such a huge amount and I received £10 more than I was expecting! That target really doesn't seem so difficult now. I think its safe to say that I have birthdays covered until around April.

    GunShotResidue my favourite is prolific by far but swagbucks is my main income for amazon vouchers.

    Hiya, Can I join the party?

    I have been doing this since July 2016 as it was the only way I could chisel at the debt, live a normal life and get all the presents for my large family and friends.

    I have already bought about 70% of this years Christmas presents with Amazon vouchers, saving about £150, and have used this to sort the January birthdays so I am sorted until February.

    I currently have £35 going spare in Amazon vouchers, and have £9 in points on Pinecone, but don't usually cash out until I have £15.

    Course you can.

    Sorry for the late reply, I was on holiday for a few days in Rome.

    Quick check in

    Swagbucks - 275 Need 620 for £5
    Prolific - £8.90 Need £20 to cashout
    Yougov - 2125 need 5000 for £50
    Ipsos - 2875 need 3000 for £25

    Today I worked out that to cover all birthdays and Christmas in 2018 I need £650. This will be the minimum amount required which I want to achieve just with amazon vouchers so it means approximately £12.50 in vouchers per week. Going to try my best but I don't think I will be able to cover the whole amount.

    That would be amazing if you could do it!!

    We will all be cheering you on.

    I'm counting some sites already, but because Swagbucks is fairly quick to pay out I'll use anything I get in the next week for this Christmas (still have a few stocking fillers to buy!). After that I will be counting everything towards next Christmas.


    I am aiming for about £400, it wont cover all of the Christmas presents (we have a huge family), but it will definitely help!


    Currently:
    Populus: 13/50 (£50)
    Branded Surveys: 695/1000 (£10)
    Answer points: 75/500 (£5) and £5 on it's way
    Crowdology: £1.04


    I'm really liking Branded Surveys (previously MintVine I think), lots available and you still get 6 points if you get screened out.

    Great start!

    Reached my £20 Argos target and have ordered my niece's present.

    I'm going for £30 in Amazon vouchers next which I'll use to buy Christmas presents for next year.

    Whoop whoop - well done :T:T:T

    We can all take it one gift at a time.

    Yes please! I was thinking of doing this so perfect timing and accountability 😊

    Welcome aboard!

    I'm the same, need somewhere to keep a track so that I can focus more on this goal.

    I'm going to try and update every week too, once we do it a few times it will be habit.

    Have a nice time travelling.

    My favourite site right now is Populus, next week who knows :rotfl:
