Consumer Pulse

[ClaireDares]

Consumer pulse is a really good shop and scan site, have had about 14 argos vouchers from them in the last 8 months, so well worth it,

It is only by invite though :(

Any one else with them

I signed up not to long ago but nothing yet:(

[Jules_2005]

Yes I'm with them. They're fab aren't they

[andylaine]

Yes I'm with them. They're fab aren't they

Yes I was lucky enough to get on too. They are really good, had quite a few argos vouchers.

[zoot]

So how can i be invited then?

[jonquil]

I joined up a little while ago and already had £30 worth of vouchers. Points get credited quickly and vouchers are sent out quickly aswell.

[kay122]

Been with them a while very good site had loads of argos vouchers saveing them for christmas
And 8 boots from pigs back

How do you go about being invited? Do you have to be recommended by someone?

[taffyswife]

I've been with them since Feb 07 - it is great - have had £40 of woolies & £40 of WH Smiths vouchers so far.

[Jules_2005]

You can't be recommended for consumer pulse. The only way to get in is by clicking on a banner when they advertise for new members. I'll keep my eyes peeled on MSE as it's normally posted on the freebies board when someone spots a banner

[Jules_2005]

Just found this link on MSE to register for consumer pulse.

[Jules_2005]

oooh nearly forgot, if you can't sign yourself up, try your OH's name

[ClaireDares]

Just a tip, dont ppost all your goodies at the beginning of the month, spread them about every week, i know so many people who have done this and had to say bye bye to consulmer pulse

Also if you have onthing to put in for the week, go on it and tick you have nothing just to get your 500 points

(cant see how no one would have nothing to put in for a week with all the H&B we keep getting lol)

[glorious]

I clicked on the link above for consumer pulse ie the one that said consumer and now i have an email from consumer lifestyle or something similar is this consumer pulse or some phishing site?

[orangelily8]

Just seen on MSE

[Mamzie]

I think you need to clear cookies Claire, otherwise it defaults to T&V site, iyswim. Or try a different browser, that what I did for my sister.

[clareo122]

thank you got approved at the 1st set of questions then when I actually went to register was told don't fit!

Morning all, Just a quick question about consumer pulse. how many points do you need before you can convert into vouchers. I click on the Rewards Centre & it wont load up :0(

[shoppaholic45]

i think its 10000 for a ten pounds voucher

[amandaj67]

Ooh TY. I think i have enough then. I just hope it'll load up properly! I must get broadband, im still on the ancient dial up :o

[princesskerry]

I didn't fit either, ohh!!!!!:(

[Flo]

Consumer pulse is the best survey / shopping site I've found. I joined in Sept and I have had £70 of Argos vouchers already.

[bluetimone97]

I know you get 500 points per week when you complete shopping but do you get any points per item you buy too?

[andylaine]

Yes you get 500 points for each item you enter up to a maximum of 20 items each month

[shoppaholic45]

Yes you get 500 points for each item you enter up to a maximum of 20 items each month


i wondered why i didn't get anymore points for the items ive bought and only got 500 for checkout, its cause ive put in more than 20 already

[Flo]

Roll on Thursday its starts the new month so get ready.

[hometemp]

Is anyone having problems with the points taking longer that 24 hours to show on the rewards page.

[stardancer177]

So its not just me! :o

It started last monday when I put in some items id bought for my weekly 500 point shopping bonus. Then on Tuesday I checked the rewards section to order a voucher but the points hadnt been credited .It says 10750 on the main page but a week on it still says 9750 in the rewards section.

I've contacted them twice but nothing. What should I do?

x

[hometemp]

It does show up correctly on the rewards page just takes a bit longer. I read on MSE that a few people were having the same problem.

[ClaireDares]

There is a 1000 point survey all about buying dvd's ect, they say it takes about 15 mins, but i would say half that time

[kay122]

Yes i got a email did the questioner got a 1,000 points
Kay

[want to shop]

I also had that last week...easy 1000 points:)

[andylaine]

Yes, I got that one too, it was a really quick easy one for the points

[ClaireDares]

I think its all pretty easy points when all you have to do is type in your shopping,

[andylaine]

I agree, its got to be one of the easiest sites for the money. never have to wait long for the vouchers either.

[hometemp]

[angel,dust]

we are decorating the bathroom so im going to go for either B&Q or homebase ones (must go and look properly at their tile range) :clap2:

just wanted to say thanks to you guys I have learnt and earnt so much that has nothing to do with CC points since joining pts.

:N-Worthy:

[elisawortl]

Can I ask when the new week begins for the 500 points. Is it on a Sunday ?
Also , when the amount of shopping for that month's points has been entered, does the next month start on the 1st of the next month? ie, I've entered my total purchases already this month and won't get points for the other stuff I enter. Is my next month start date on the 1st March?
sorry if this makes no sense!!

Not quite sure when the actual week starts, but you do get 500 points on a Monday for your weekly checkout, so I presume the week starts on a Monday.
Once you have entered 20 items for that month you will have reached the maximum and wont get any more points until the first of the next month. So yes your next month will start on the 1st of March. You should still enter everything you buy though for the rest of the month even though you dont get points for them. Accounts have been closed if they think you are only putting in the number of items needed to get the points and not recording your shopping properly ifyswim.
You will still get 500 points each Monday for checking out whether or not you have any shopping to enter.
Hope that helps.

Thanks so much for this, i'll be sure to keep entering my shopping then, this is the best site for earning vouchers quickly. I just wish I could get on to the pine one we're not supposed to mention!!

I tried joining this but the links didn't work for me and I never got any answer to my email.

Last week DH got an email from Toluna inviting him to join. He's now the main shopper in our house. ;)
I'm amazed that we already have enough points to claim a voucher.

[tiger]

If anyone is interested in joining, I noticed this in the January newsletter:

Do you know anyone who is interested in joining the Panel? - If you have any friends or family who are interested in participating on the Consumer Pulse panel please refer them click here (http://www.volunteer4panels.com/)

Oh is the main shopper in ours too ;) the points really add up quickly dont they? have been with Consumer pulse for over a year now and have just 'bought' a dining table and chairs with the argos vouchers and before that it was a hoover. have just spent the best part of an hour listing the boots stuff we got today though as Oh got fed up half way through:(

[Miss Wetwipe]

Might be worth checking your email if you have signed up for Consumer Pulse as I got offered a place today :clap2: - well I didn't, DH did (even though he didn't sign up) ;)

Have the rewards changed on Consumer Pulse?
I've just entered 10 items and it said I would be awarded 1000 points.

Maybe just their scripting having an off-day. I just entered a random top-up purchase and has recorded correct points.

[tiger]

Thanks cyberbob. I was hoping it was just a temporary blip.

tiger, have you already entered some items this month? you only get points for the first 20 items per month after that you dont get anything other than the weekly 500 points until the beginning of the next month. It was still 500 points for me last night when I just put one item on. hth

[tiger]

That could be it andylaine. I have entered quite a lot of items recently as I've been getting clothes for our holiday. Thanks.

[Miss Wetwipe]

Anyone been having trouble logging in? Keeps coming up with an error when I sign in so thought maybe I had got my passwords confused to got sent a reminder - the reminder was the one I had been using though! :confused: Emailed them a couple of days ago asking what was going on but I still haven't heard anything

[Mamzie]

I signed in fine on Sunday hun,

[boysmum]

I signed in today no problem, hope you can get in soon

[markat]

Anyone know where on Consumer Pulse I can see what my registered address is ?
Have had a good search but can't see where personal details can be viewed / amended.

[andylaine]

there you go, taken from the FAQ

How do I change my personal details?
If you need to change you personal details you need to contact the helpdesk, you can do this by either emailing help@consumerpulse.co.uk, detailing that you need to make a change or you can call our freephone number on 0500 77 44 45. Please note we can only deliver your reward items to the address we have recorded as your home address.

[markat]

Thanks, Elaine, can't remember if I joined before or after I moved.
I wonder if the kind PTSer who recommended me can remember when they PM'd me !!

What helpful people we have here.

Can I ask if people take their £10 voucher as soon as they reach 10,000 points ?
With some survey / cashback sites I let my points accumulate whilst others I'm more nervous about the long term future of I take the voucher as soon as I meet the required threshold.

I normally wait until I get to around 50,000 points before I order as I tend to find they mount up pretty quickly anyway.

To be honest I cash out everything (survey sites/cashback etc) as soon as I reach the minimum cashout, apart from the couple of sites where you get more vouchers the higher your points are ifyswim. (eg on Lightspeed you can get £25 of Argos vouchers for just slighly over the points cost for 2 separate £10s)

May just be me but always think they are better in hand incase the companies go pearshaped lol. Having said that I dont think we need to worry about Consumerpulse tho, they are part of TNS which is part of the Kantar group (the one that does the post office surveys some of us used to do) so think they will be fine

[Second Born]

If you're swapping your Consumer Pulse points for Argos vouchers, they come as gift cards that are good for a couple of years. So if you feel safer redeeming your points right away, you can still wait a while to use the Argos vouchers.

[markat]

I'm up to £50 already ! Really impressed.
Going to go for Virgin vouchers for some duty free goodies on our next holiday.

[markat]

Notice on the website;

To maximise your chances of receiving your vouchers before Christmas, please ensure all orders are placed on or before 10th December.

[WHITEGUINEAPIG]

i cash out as soon as i have enough points with everything now
i really like to be "waiting on something" from the postman!
at the moment i have 3 different things on their way (hopefully)

[tiger]

I always draw mine as soon as I can as well.
I received 3 x £10 vouchers in the post this morning. :)
