Wedding Funding!

[The Minertaur]

£35.26 to go when I last posted a full update on last Wednesday morning. Again there's been a bug in the household so it's been a rather tough weekend for getting stuff done! However....

It has actually been quite a successful few days! Surveys at the weekend dried up but I had an excellent Thursday and Friday. Surveys alone have seen me go up by £13.50 - Curious Cat brought in just under £4 while Prolic Academic saw £4.69. That leaves £21.76...

Saturday I was looking through my email inbox to see if I had any offers and I came across a "we miss you" style one from Betway. A free bet up to 50% of your next deposit (Max £25 free bet) - this lead to a very welcome £17.31 profit. £4.45 to go...

Other MBs though came to a total of £15.22 meaning that I am sitting at £210.77/£200. Target hit

That's not including my Leapforce which is currently sitting with an invoice of $71.40 which is apparently just under £55. This is my first month using Leapforce so I've not been including them until I am sure that the money will make it into my account! How long do they take to pay once you submit an invoice?

That's also forgetting the free fiver I got in Amazon vouchers (buy £25 and get a free £5). £215.77!

 

[The Minertaur]

A successful day of surveys galore saw another £6.75 come in despite not having a Prolific survey! I now haven't had any from them since Thursday which worries me greatly. However up stepped I-Say to almost get me another £5 of Amazon Vouchers while One Poll/VYPR and Curious Cat all were generous yesterday.

Special praise to Curious Cat for letting me do the exact same survey 3 times for different amounts (bringing in almost £2!)

October total = £222.52.

[EmmaSalthouse]

can anybody advise what should happen when you redeem your points on VYPR?

within 30 days of sending the invoice

Ok dokes so I should expect one payment in before Christmas. That'll pay for my train tickets home!

 

[The Minertaur]

can anybody advise what should happen when you redeem your points on VYPR?

Hi Emma- everytime I've done it on VYPR my points is immediately taken down by 10000 points and normally within a day I have £5 in my paypal.

Thank you so much for letting me know I didn't get a confirmation email or anything so had no idea if I'd spent the last month or so wasting my time

 

[The Minertaur]

So how would October finish? I was already £22.52 over my target but I was hoping to push on....

I didn't have a chance yesterday to even look at Matched Betting so that was a big fat zero....however a rather good day on the survey front saw £6.89 come in taking me to £229.41 for the month of October.

Curious Cat brought in £2.84 while even QMEE decided to give me some easy surveys to gain £1.32. A simple £1 from Prolific while doing a bit on VYPR and One Poll saw a successful day.

August - £207.59
September - £261.63 (only figure I can find but I thought I was higher than that!)
October - £229.41

Total of £698.63 from the 2 and a half months since joining on here. Gutted to just miss out on £700

November I'll be back aiming for £250.00 as I've no holidays to scupper me this month. I simply need to get back into the Matched Betting and continue with the surveys.

I've still not included Leapforce but I've just submitted my first invoice to them today. $76.53 the total for my first 3 weeks with them. Excited to see it hit my account within 30 days!

 

[The Minertaur]

So we move on to November - just one month until Christmas!

After the successful October it was time to set my target for November. This will be a full month of trying to make extra money and I feel like I need to actually set a higher target than usual to push myself to. So after £200 last month I'll be trying to get to £300 this month. This should be doable with Leapforce helping out.

So I'm setting myself a £10/average a day. How did day 1 get on?

Day 1 - £9.96/£10.00

Well survey wise I managed to make £2.96. Where are all the Prolific surveys? I've managed a couple this week so far and they were for max £1. Not impressed! The heroes of the day were QMEE (£0.98), One Poll (£0.90) as well as Curious Cat and VYPR. A normal day for these sites which was just let down by not getting a Prolific one to take me up a bit.

Matched betting wise I managed to make a nice tidy and round £7.00. Leaving me with £9.96 for the first day! FOUR PENCE SHORT OF MY DAILY TARGET?!

Oh wait Leapforce! Now I'm not sure how to best incorporate their figures into this. I'm thinking just a separate running total on here - $6.30.

Haha, love the gifs! Also very amazed by your dedication and everything you have going on. Good for you

Thanks Skinnylatte! I appreciate the kind words. Your story is one heck of an inspiration - I'd absolutely love to create my own Youtube channel but just haven't found the time.

I also just love a good gif!

November running total so far - £9.96 + $6.30

Well yesterday was perhaps the most weird day I've ever had with surveys. Prolific Academic seems to have disappeared in terms of providing surveys. I've not had any come up since Halloween and it's annoying me greatly! I've actually just noticed that I no longer have a Prolific score on my profile - is that normal? I was 100/100 last time I looked!

So that was a let down.

So which other survey sites would step up? There are 4 sites yesterday that were just fantastic to me.

4th place - VYPR - £1.53

If you saw my post yesterday in the VYPR thread you'll understand why this makes the top 4. At lunch time yesterday I was walking back to work while eating a pie (steak. 6/10 - needed some pepper) and checking my phone. All of sudden my VYPR which was sitting in the mid 7000s suddenly started loading more and more steers. Over the course of the next 3 hours I gained 3060 points which was probably from at least 50 steers. I've never had a spell like it on here. I was feeling pretty good about myself.

3rd place - One Poll - £1.70

One Poll just announced that they are lowering their cash out threshold from £40 down to £25 as I sit now with £29.25 in my account. Of course I now have to get to £40 before I can cash out sadly! However a decent enough day on my longest running site. Boosted by a £1 survey about my gym membership at David Lloyd - a gym I've never set foot in!

2nd place - Curious Cat - £3.32

My old trusty ally is CC. My fiance and I actually set ourselves a little challenge over Wed/Thurs. She had 2 days off and always complains that I do better than here with CC so we set a deadline and set our totals to 0. Highest wins an all expenses paid trip to Costa. Thankfully I ran out the winner with an overall total of £3.85 for the two days with £3.32 coming from it yesterday. I look forward to my Billionaires Hot Chocolate tonight!

1st place - QMEE - £3.44

QMEE WAS USEFUL!

Hard to believe but yesterday was just surveys galore on QMEE. I normally get screened out of them but yesterday was just one of those days where I got lucky with every 2nd one. Twas a glorious feeling cashing it out at the end of the day. I'll probably not have another day like it again!

Overall I managed to make £9.99 in surveys! Not too shabby.

Matched betting wise was also a glorious day. I took a punt with a risk free bet and ended up with £6.67 profit (thank you Marin Cilic) as well as £1.82 at Coral. £8.49 from the bookies.

Leapforce to finish - I was a bit quicker with my reviews yesterday mainly due to having so many repeats. Still $5.83 is better in my pocket!

1st = £9.96 + $6.30
2nd = £18.48 + $5.83

November total to date = £28.44 + $12.13

Let's try a GIF free day....

1st = £9.96 + $6.30
2nd = £18.48 + $5.83
3rd = £4.82 + $5.83
4th = £0 + $5.60
5th = £26.44 + $5.83

November total to date = £59.70 + $29.39

Ahead of target but all down to Bet 365 giving me the £50 free bet on Sunday. I didn't have a chance on Saturday to do surveys - was away at football (Cowdenbeath 1 - 3 Montrose ) and ran out of data on my mobile! Yesterday I didn't manage a survey at all so all the income there was from the one bet on Chelsea v Man Utd.

Still I'm £9.7o ahead of my target of £10 a day. Today is going to be a mental day at work so I'm not expecting to get too much in today. Leapforce proving to be my buffer....

Let's try a GIF free day....

No GIFS?

 

[The Minertaur]

Mainly down to the request of The Reverend it's time for a GIF day!

Sadly yesterday wasn't the greatest. I've got a job interview in a few days time and my night was spent preparing for it. Really finding it hard to get much going with the Matched Betting just now - just means that when the good offers appear I just need to be ready to take advantage of it. Only things I tried yesterday was the £5 free spins with William Hill (3rd day in a row I think) where I once again didn't win anything. My luck has to change with slots soon surely?

Survey wise wasn't too horrendous. £5.13 mainly down to I-Say finally giving me some decent surveys. Sitting with over £100 of Amazon vouchers just now which will probably all be used at Christmas and I think £65 of that is from I-Say. Prolific finally gave me some surveys as well and I'm now up to £31.05 on One Poll. Curious Cat was 67p while the milk sponsored VYPR went up by 1460 points.

Leapforce wise I've no idea what happened yesterday - I'm always around 25 minutes but yesterday I was about 5 minutes slower. Exactly $7 for the day there.

1st = £9.96 + $6.30
2nd = £18.48 + $5.83
3rd = £4.82 + $5.83
4th = £0 + $5.60
5th = £26.44 + $5.83
6th = £5.13 + $7
November total to date = £64.83 + $36.39

Still above my daily target!
