Advantages: Free shares.
Disadvantages: Shares are worth very little in themselves

Themutual.net is now a mere shadow of it's former self, but is still pumping out 1,000 new shares to those individuals who are inclined to join. What's the story ? Is it worth it ? And what could I get out of it ? Well, at the moment the shares are worth very little, in fact, nearly nothing - if you sold all your 1000 free shares you MIGHT get 30p !! (Before dealing costs !!)

Alternatively you can choose to build you points into cash. If you choose this option you check fewer points for shopping and as soon as you reach 3000 points you can cash them in for £20 which is well worth doing. There are around 500 shops on the site now so something for ... Read review

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: poor useablitiy and flexablity, and shares worth nothing

I have been a theMutual member for a couple of years now. Initially it had very good access and connections were reliable and fast. Recently like the rest of the web it has been less consistent. Problems. Email. However, the worse point is email. I have accoutns with other ISPs and I check emails from which ever has the best connection. This has been easy to set up for these accounts by simply checking SMPT and POP3 settings. For theMutual ... Read review
