Ipoints- Get Rewards Just For Shopping Online - UK Only (Sorry U.S.)

Ipoints is an online points reward system that, yes you guessed it, rewards you for shopping online. On the whole, we think ipoints is a good website. You can get various prizes for, essentially, free. "Hang on," I hear you say "but don't you have to buy stuff - as in SPEND money to get the rewards". Well, yes, in general you do but we would still say that you receive the rewards for free. Why? Because (and this is just us) we would never buy something online simply because we get ipoints for doing it. We shop around and buy at the cheapest price we can. The lucky thing for us is that we mostly buy DVD's and similar things online and the shop that most often tends to be the cheapest we find is Sendit.com. As luck would have it, they offer 10 ipoints for every pound spent. So, this means that we're buying exactly what we would normally buy but after a while (maybe 6 month!?) we earn enough ipoints from buying at Sendit.com to spend them on the reward we really want - a £50 voucher for sendit.com (about 12 free DVD's). Of course, sendit.com aren't the only merchant that we find we can earn points from; there are several. These, for us, mostly include Amazon, Play.com and Sendit.com but there are hundreds. You don't always have to spend money to earn ipoints. You can be awarded ipoints for a variety of actions. Some ways include:

Shopping Online
Completing surveys
Playing Online Casinos/Bingo/Gambling
Grocery Shopping
Clicking though to links in emails
Referring friends
Signing up for free things

...to name a handful.

We think ipoints is definitely worth signing up to as long as you keep your head on your shoulders and don't spend when you normally wouldn't have. Before long, you'll be earning enough ipoints for some quite good rewards (not always GREAT but still good). Ultimately it's up to you to keep an eye on what you do with your ipoints account. Beware of signing up to things that will end up spamming or sending junk mail to your home (just read the small print). Keep this in mind and you'll love ipoints. We do!
