£10 a day thread, January part two

I'm so happy to see the thread has been ticking along with so many new people joining us Grin

It's been a shitty couple of weeks for me. I started out the new year with an awful sore throat, and it turns out I have glandular fever, so I've been too exhausted for any serious money making.

I'm actually really enjoying Chip! It's proving to be a great way to stash all the little bits of money from profilic etc. so I can see it actually adding up to something.

This morning I've switched bank accounts (£100 for joining, then £100 if I leave unhappy in six months) and managed to reduce my life insurance policy by £9 a month, and get £85 cashback for doing so via Quidco, so I'm trying to be productive.

Hope everyone is having a good January.

@lilmishap
I've just uninstalled Honeygain, I only had $3.86 on after about 7 weeks!!
Tell me I've done something wrong on Honeygain?!! Confused

if anyone wants it

You should sign up to Freetrade! It’s this app you can use to invest for free. Plus, when you sign up, we both get a free share - might be Apple or Tesla!

moneysavingmama · 17/01/2020 17:43

Also if anyone wants £100 to switch to Nationwide i can do a recommend a friend link :)

MoreMoneyPlease · 17/01/2020 17:49

@Starlight2004 I've got a free share code if you still need one?

Whatsmyname2019 · 17/01/2020 17:51

Whoever used my free share code never put a £1 in so it doesn’t seem to be letting me have any more codes

lilmishap · 17/01/2020 17:53

@Frenchdoors1 no idea. Reddit users are the same some of us love it and some are getting naff all out of it.
But as it doesn't affect anything I've got fluidstack, packetstream and honeygain on laptop and honeygain on mobile as well. Honeygain is the only one that makes me any decent amount but none of them cost me anything so I leave them on!
It peaks and drops regularly 1 week it'll earn £3 & the next £7/8.
Tbh I don't even know what it does, I could be supporting crime for all I know!

lilmishap · 17/01/2020 17:56

@Frenchdoors1 Check settings, it updates regularly and you have to select share and earn after every update, it doesn't tell you it's updated but there was one about fortnight ago. I had it sat idle for weeks after it updated as I didn't realise.

SimplyBlue · 17/01/2020 17:56

Just a reminder to anyone else who uses 20cogs, don't forget to cancel any subscriptions you start before they move on to full price. I set Google reminders in my calender whenever I start anything that will need to be cancelled.

Frenchdoors1 · 17/01/2020 17:59

@lilmishap
Oh, so it doesn't work for everyone!
Thought I had done something wrong not that I'm forever doubting myself
I hope you're wrong about the latter.

Frenchdoors1 · 17/01/2020 18:01

@lilmishap
Really!!
I didn't know this, so I was right.. that I was doing it wrong Grin
Thanks! Off to check it now I've reinstalled it.

SimplyBlue · 17/01/2020 18:02

I seem to have a referral for freetrade again - this will be my third! Confused I don't know if this means my second one wasn't used, I know my first wasn't. If there is anyone who will use it and will deposit at least £1 please pm me! I will give my code to whoever PM's first - but please do use it. I know a lot of people want one but I can't seem to give mine away! Smile

MrsWombat · 17/01/2020 18:19

If you take the Banner test on Appen, check your list of "I am qualified for" projects. It appeared there for me as a green button I have to press.

MrsWombat · 17/01/2020 18:20

I've asked a question about the rate/hour for Meadow in the chat if anyone wants to +1 it?!

Lougle · 17/01/2020 18:38

OK, so I've passed Banner, which was a relief.

I've done my voice sample for UserTesting, but now I'm worried that it was too short? It was only about 4 minutes. I've since read that they are usually 15-20 minutes. Also, I saw a price on the website but didn't realise it was for a supplemental service, and that their main service is free, which means that my comments about the price were irrelevant...Oh, well, wait and see.

I still haven't had a request for a voice sample for UTest but I suppose I just have to be patient. My payment for the initial sign up has been approved, though.

Lougle · 17/01/2020 18:40

My free share link is still showing on my FreeTrade, so whoever took it hasn't done the top-up yet.

0htooooodles · 17/01/2020 18:40

@simplyblue I used the one you sent, and deposited, so not sure why it's showing I hasn't. The deposit hasn't cleared yet though, so might be why!

justtheonethen · 17/01/2020 18:54

Can't wait to see what my mystery share is!

SimplyBlue · 17/01/2020 19:02

Oh that's weird noodles because after I sent that I noticed I had a free trade pending - I guess that's the one I got from you using my link so thank you! But I still seem to have a referral link so if anyone does want to try it let me know

DuchessMinnie · 17/01/2020 19:10

Yes please to anyone who can send me a link!

Lougle · 17/01/2020 19:10

I've been accepted by UserTesting!! That's very exciting.

SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock · 17/01/2020 19:14

@lougle well done. I love UserTesting :-)

Don't rely on them emailing you though. I just keep the dashboard open on my computer and they ping up quite often.

ZetaPuppis · 17/01/2020 19:15

Well done @Lougle I don’t think I’m going to go for that one.

Has anyone heard from Rev?

SNISR · 17/01/2020 19:39

I have done 1000 of the transcription project on neevo. 1000 was my target and I will be doing no more as it took me 3 days to reach that. How many has everyone done? So time consuming!

bookgirl1982 · 17/01/2020 19:40

Another free trade link below. Please only use if you're going to top-up.

freetrade.io/freeshare/?code=XUE52C7NIS&sender=qKQ81Don You should sign up to Freetrade! It’s an app for investing in the stock market with no fees. Plus, when you sign up, we both get a free mystery share!

Lougle · 17/01/2020 19:44

I haven't got anywhere with Neevo yet.
