5 BEST Sites offering daily clicks

If you don't know, daily clicks are simply links on cashback sites which you click on, and get paid to do so. Usually you have to search and click through to a retailer. Each site will let you know what they want you to do. You should delete cookies inbetween starting each site's clicks, because otherwise they won't track.
I've only put the ones here which are worthwhile - a few only offer 7p a day in clicks, which isn't really worth your time. These ones have more or less the same ones, but if you delete cookies, they'll count. The one to watch for is Highstreet Web - this site knows how often you're going, even if you delete cookies.

FREE SNACKS

Paid to sign-up/trial/request catalogues etc

Most cashback sites also offer sign-up bonuses. Most of them are on every site, so it's best to choose the cashback site you like the most, sign up to all their free offers, and then go to the other sites and see if there's anything you haven't seen yet.

Free Ad sites which pay through cashback sites

If you click through some cashback sites and place an advert, you get cash for registering, but also some cash each time you place an advert. It's worth remembering this if you are selling or looking to buy an item or a service. Most won't pay you for placing a personal advert.

GUMTREE
Link to Gumtree through Top Cashback - 10p per lead

Survey sites

GLOBAL TEST MARKET
Link to join - referral code to add - use referral code 17942571
Averages about 200 points a month, but you can't even look at what you can redeem it for until you have 1000, so I can't say more on this at the moment.
TOLUNA
Link to join - referral by email available - i can invite you to this one
You seem to get a lot of points quickly, until you realise that 60 points is ONE PENNY. Some rewards you get more for your points, but for a £10 amazon voucher it's 60,000 points. Probably doable in a year at the rate I've been getting points.
YOU GOV
Link to join - referral
Not a great site, but now and again something interesting comes up, and I've made £2 in 2 months hardly doing anything.
LIGHTSPEED
Link to join - no referral - no referral
Points for a survey, which works out at about 1 point=1 penny. For example, £5 through paypal is 545 points. I've made on average £4 a month with Lightspeed.
VALUED OPINIONS
Link to join - referral by email available - I can invite you by email
A good site, with a steady stream of surveys. Not huge money, but interesting.
MY SURVEY
Link to join - no referral - no referral
2000 points = £10 amazon voucher, making it 2 points for a penny. I've managed 455 points in 2 months, with hardly any surveys being sent. It's OK.
ONE POLL
Link to join - no referral - no referral
A bit rubbish to be honest, as the surveys aren't emailed to you, and you have to keep logging in and checking. I've got about 95p in 2 months, because I keep forgetting to log in.
OPINION WORLD
Link to join - referral by email available - I can invite you by email
I really like Opinion World, as they are usually quick, easy surveys, and you get a lot of them. However, I haven't found any way to check my point balance online, and a lot of surveys are to donate to charity (which also gives you entries in the prize draw) so if you're looking to make lots of money, I wouldn't bother.
PINECONE
Link to join - no referral - no referral
The queen of all survey sites. £3 in luncheon vouchers in the post within a week of completing a survey. Excellent. I've also had products to test as well. So far I've made £6 in 2 weeks.
IPSOS
Link to join - referral
Again, I've had products to test through Ipsos. 1380 points means a £10 voucher at Boots and other partners. I've made 1000 (nearly a £10 voucher) in 2 months, so it's a good payer.

Ok, so I was up at 5am and I had time to do this, but I saved over £30 on Ocado today with a combination of offers - they were all on Martin Lewis' website, so if you're not on there already, then here's how I did it

1. Register with Top Cashback

Join Top Cashback here

2. Register THROUGH THEM with My Supermarket - you get £4 for doing this when you make your first shop

This is the link for joining

TOTAL - £4

3. Go to My Supermarket and choose to shop at Ocado - if you haven't already registered, it will give you a link later on. If you are already registered REGISTER AGAIN with a different name at the same address.

This is the link to Ocado on My Supermarket

If you haven't used my Supermarket, it's really easy. It shows you at the top how your basket compares with other delivery services. Don't worry if your basket is more expensive at the moment - just use all the 'swap and save' options, and make the basket as cheap as you can, as long as it's at least £60. If it's less than £100, that's fine, but to maximise your savings just choose something else you usually buy anyway to make it up to £100. 

TOTAL - £14.70 (I saved £10.70 using swap and save, and Ocado was the cheapest anyway

4. Register with iPoints if you haven't already - you get 100 points just for joining, and then get 1 point for each £1 spent through My Supermarket. Obviously this continues each time you use MSM in future, so it's worth doing anyway.

Link to register with iPoints - just change Ian's email address to yours, I couldn't work out how else to do it

TOTAL - £15.70

5. Log into iPoints on My Supermarket - you get 1 point for each pound you spend (I think it's a maximum of 80, as mine topped out there). Check the bonus iPoints section to get more if there is anything you usually buy.

TOTAL - £26.50

6. Checkout through My Supermarket - this is the bit where you can register with Ocado if you haven't already, and it will let you choose delivery time. Some slots are free, so choose one of them if possible. It will put all your items into the Ocado basket and you checkout through Ocado

7. When checking out use voucher code 'VOU5979278'. This is why i suggested a £100 spend, as the voucher saves you 15% on your first order, up to a maximum of £15. 

TOTAL - £31.50 saved

So I spent £109 altogether for a fortnights shopping, and I have enough cat food to last a good long while because I used a good offer on cat food to make my total over £100, whilst saving money on something I have to buy anyway. Score.

Of course if you don't usually use online grocery shopping, you also save time, petrol money, and exasperation by having it delivered to the house.

cashback sites

Because of my OCD, if I see a cashback site I'm not a member of, I have to join it. Things is there are loads of the damn things. So I'm now a member of 56 of them, as well as all the survey sites and mystery shopping sites.

If you like these sort of things, leave me your email address and the names of the cashback sites you're already in, and if there are any you aren't a member of, I'll refer you. Some of the ones I've found will give you money if you're referred, as well as giving money to the person doing the referring.

Also, if anyone wants to get sent 'paid to read' emails, which don't pay much, but need no effort whatsoever, leave me your address for that too, and i'll invite you. 

CBT today - was very straining. I need to write up properly about it, but I'm too exhausted.
