Advantages: more ways to collect ipoints and the website does pay fast

Disadvantages: the value of an ipoint is too small

Ipoints.co.uk is an internet-based rewards programme with over 600 partners. It mixes paid to click, paid-survey, loyalty card and cash back styles in one. So the website may provide more opportunity for a member to get rewards.

There are totally 7 ways to collect ipoints as reward.

1. As soon as you register you will be given 50 ipoints as a welcome gift. If you complete a survey about you another 150 ipoints will be given.

Personal experience

I joined ipoints.co.uk via Ecasher website because I wanted to earn the signing up offer on my Ecasher account.

However after signing up I did have a look at ipoints website and I found I disliked it.

Partly I felt the website is not user friendly; too much partners' information on one webpage made me confused.

Mainly I thought the reward per click or per survey was too small. I need to collect 1200 ipoints to get £5 voucher. It seemed to take ages to reach it.

Then one day I noticed I had earned some ipoints by completing a few surveys via surveys.com. I logged on ipoints.co.uk and found I had more than 1400 ipoints. I spent 1200 ipoints for a £5 Odeon voucher and in 7 days I received it by post.

So despite my earlier comments I can now say at least the website does pay the members efficiently.

Summary: every point adds up
