    4 Stars Ipoints 2007! 06/11/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Getting something for nothing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages time points take to credit

    I know that there are a lot of iPoints reviews however most of them are years old and none seem to take into account the new points system. So here are some of my thoughts on iPoints. ~Overview~ Firstly I am a big fan of loyalty schemes and survey sites; I am a member of quite a number and have a dedicated email account so as not to block my normal one up with the dreaded SPAM. Basically iPoints is a reward scheme which gives you points for shopping on the internet and completing various offers; points can then be cashed in to claim almost any reward under the sun! (The same idea as Nectar ... more

    4 Stars Jill Does Ipoints Diamond review 24/09/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free stuff, not time-consuming.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bad customer service, temptation to spend and gamble unnecessarily, spam in your inbox.

    I'm not really big on all those loyalty schemes y'know, I get bored of all those dutiful things you have to do: clicking on links; waiting for pages to load; thinking of new things to "search the web" for; signing up for interminable spammy newsletters; remembering which smelly email address I used for which scheme. But Michael, my husband, is big on them and he's got the kind of organised brain that remembers to do all the clicky things that have to be done, remember what comes from where and all that jazz. And he does get quite a lot of vouchers and free things from the half hour long frenzy ... more

    4 Stars Free Stuff 07/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Get stuff for free

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Takes ages

    So many of the pay-to-do-things sites have died their death recently. What do I mean? Let's look at the list shall we. First we had some big names going bust, including that ill fated clothing shop! Then came the downfall of the ad bar schemes, with Alladvantage leaving a lot of people bitter. Then came the whole acrecby scandal (who owe me £30), and not long after swapitshop closed their doors too. Next up was the reward scheme sites, with my favourite WebRewards currently on its death bed! So what's all this got to do with iPoints I hear you cry! Well, I got my iPoints from two such sources ... more

    5 Stars Points means Prizes!! 15/08/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free stuff!!!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can take a little while for points to be added

    I noticed that Ipoints.co.uk had got over 200 reviews in the past but hasn't got any in the past few years so I thought I would write a review that will be more up to date than those. I really like Ipoints, for the pure fact that it's always great to feel like you're getting free stuff!! ***What is It?*** Ipoints is an online loyalty scheme where you can collect points to spend on different things (a bit like Nectar or the Boots card but purely online). ***How do you earn points?*** The main way you can earn points is to buy things from online shops who will pay you a certain number of points ... more

    4 Stars Earn Extra Incentive For Shopping Onlne 08/01/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free Points

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Takes A While For Some Points To Be Added

    I since Christmas last year have been looking for a few survey sites in which I could make a few extra pennies and some gift vouchers to help save for a few extra little luxuries for Christmas this year. I have narrowed my initial twenty or so sites down to around six for which I now religiously fill out surveys and two where I write reviews. Although I don't make a fortune from any of these sites I have managed to earn quite a few Argos vouchers and have managed to accrue enough money to put a few pounds into my Christmas savings fund. This particular site allows you to accumulate points from ... more

    5 Stars A reward scheme that actually rewards 12/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free stuff, really!!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Attracts junk mail, ipoints slow to be added at times

    I have been a member of ipoints for about 6 months and in that time I have earned over 400 ipoints (which I will explain later) for doing not a lot! I was very sceptical when I joined but you dont need to give many details when registering if you dont want to. I went the whole hog though and gave my name, address etc and also filled in a questionare listing my interests so they could email me relevant information. For this I was rewarded 20 ipoints. One tip when filling out this and other registration forms I have found is to use a hotmail address and not your home email address as it attracts ... more

    4 Stars iPoints - A Great way to get a free PS3 20/11/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages huge range of offers and rewards

    Disadvantages Disadvantages slow tracking time to receive points

    iPoints is another cash back website, similar to Quidco, however, as the title may give away, instead of directly dealing in cash this site deals in iPoints. These are virtual credits that you acquire from shopping on the internet and signing up for offers, which can be redeemed for items off their website. To put these points into perspective you can buy a brand new Playstation 3 for 60,000 points whereas most DVD's cost around 1,000 points. Unless you are going for one of the huge expensive items, where the points count for more, roughly 100 points is the value of a pound. But the range of ... more

    4 Stars Quote Free unquote DVDs, CDs and gifts...updated 01/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good value, wide range of rewards, relatively easy to collect ipoints

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Still have to work for your ipoints-they're not technically free

    Yes, it's yet another of those web reward schemes. It's also one of the best. Ipoints rewards you for shopping online, visiting sponsors, filling in surveys and even entering competitions! I place Ipoints at the top of the table, even though the rewards are not technically "free". The idea is this: you register at the Ipoints site and are instantly given a few ipoints (which are apparently worth 10p each). You earn ipoints by signing up with sponsor sites, e.g. LineOne, clicking on banners, filling in surveys about yourself, and shopping with ipoints partners. If you do a lot of online ... more

    2 Stars THEY LOST SOME OF MY POINTS - Updated 02/09/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Earn points for rewards

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I've only earnt 34 points since January

    I joined ipoints on 3rd January 2001 - and since then I've earnt a magnificent 34 points! WOW! Is it really worth it? As far I can see the answer's definitely "NO"! The idea is similar to the Beenz concept, which went under recently. Registration ------------ The registration process is quick and simple. You enter your details, indicate your preferences for 12 questions (saying if you're interested, not interested or indifferent) and then 18 questions to say if you're bought over the internet (have, expect to or will not). By doing these 2 parts you will earn a total of 20 points to start off ... more

    4 Stars Money for nothing and your trips for free 24/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Yet another way to earn while you surf

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sometimes slow to credit your account

    Ipoints is yet another internet site where you can receive rewards for online activity, but not in cash as at Ciao, but by points that you receive as a reward for participating at the site. You can then use these points to buy various goods and services online. You earn points in a number of different ways. First of all you are rewarded for registering. I joined up via the link here at Ciao, so that hopefully Ciao will also earn some extra kudos as a result. Registering couldn’t be easier. All you need give is your name and email address, that will in future be your username at the site ... more
