This little piggy went to market...

I discovered PhonePiggyBank through OnePoll, a survery site with a high payout of £40, which I do every now and then, but Lightspeed is much much better!! Anyway, enough about surveys, what todays blog post is about is PhonePiggyBank.

What PhonePiggyBank do is take cash for your old mobile phones, I recently sent off my old Sony Ericsson W810, which had a huge crack on the screen, they offered me £20 for it. Which isn't bad considering the state it was in!

What you do is go onto the website, select your phone model, they will give you a price for it. Then just accept this price, and you will receive a letter in the post. Mine came within 2 days!!

You then just put your phone, fully charged, into the jiffy bag, and put on it the FREEPOST label provided. So no need to even pay for postage! Then just send it off, easy as that!! I would recommend recorded delivery to prevent any damages, this came to 75p for my moible phone.

They will then send you a cheque in the post once they have received your phone, all in all a very good website for students who have old mobile phones lying around gathering dust. A nice way to make a bit of money on your old mobiles!!

And most of all, its free!! (apart from the small payment for recorded delivery should you choose to send it that way)

So, get on over to PhonePiggyBank now and trade your mobile in for cash.

Are online surveys worth it?

In the case of Lightspeed, the answer is simple, yes!

I have tried out many survey sites in my time, very few actually are profitable, or have a high pay out amounts. But Lightspeed are different from other survey sites in that they reward you with points instead of cash, and what do points make? Prizes! (cheesey =P)

I joined Lightspeed last week and have already accumulated over 500 points and today I received my first payment of £3 through PayPal, this may not seem like a lot, but in a week, for half an hour of my time each day, I wouldn't say no.

So, for students looking for that little bit of extra cash to help, get onto Lightspeed now, as they will stop recruiting very soon, and earn points which can be redeemed for various prizes, such as HMV, Amazon or MP3 vouchers, and physical prizes are available too!!

It is the only survey site that I have joined so far that have actually paid out. So hurry on over there now to start earning a little bit of extra cash!
