Today, I'm going to share with you a quick and easy method of Doubling £15 to over £30 in just 30 minutes. This method, however, has the potential to earn you a lot more (hundreds of pounds) in the same amount of time.
All you need is a credit card, an email address and a little time to spare - oh, and because my journal has an international appeal, I must point out that you also need to be a resident of the UK.
The method involves simply signing up to a cashback website and playing a bit of bingo. It's remarkably easy to do but I'll walk you through the whole process and I know that it works because I've done it myself!
What are Cashback Websites?
Companies are always looking for new customers, so sometimes they will offer third parties a set sum of money to point new punters to them. If the consumer makes a purchase, the third party is paid. Cashback websites play the part of the third party, but instead of keeping all the money for themselves, they share some of it with the consumer.
Join The Cashback Website
First things first, click on this link to sign up with the cashback website. In the fields on the right-hand side of the homepage, fill in your email, first name, surname, username and password. Read the terms and conditions, tick the corresponding checkbox then click the 'Join Now' button.
Congratulations! You've just earned £2.50 simply for joining up. Unfortunately, you need at least £25 to get your cash out of the account, so you need to take advantages of some of their offers to pump up your balance.
Bingo Cafe
The first offer to take up is the one from Bingo Cafe. In the 'Search for' box at the top of the cashback website, type in 'Bingo Cafe' and click the 'Go' button. You will see from the Bingo Cafe company information that they are offering £20 when you deposit and play through £10 or more in their online bingo rooms.
Click on the 'Visit Bingo Cafe' link and you will be taken to the Bingo Cafe website. Here, click the big 'Download Games' button. The Bingo Cafe software will then be downloaded to your computer. Once downloaded, you'll need to install it on your computer and double-click on the 'Bingo Cafe' icon to run it. Next, fill in your details and login to Bingo Cafe. Click on the 'Bank' button followed by the 'Purchase' button and deposit £10 in your account.
Then enter one of the bingo rooms and play bingo until you have spent the £10 you deposited. At this point you have fulfilled the requirements needed to get £20 from the cashback website. If you're lucky, you might even win at Bingo, in which case click on the 'Bank' button again followed by the 'Withdraw' button to get collect your winnings.
At the time of writing Bingo Cafe are also offering a 100% matched bonus, which means that when you deposit your £10, they will give you a further £10 to play Bingo with.
If you need help using the Bingo Cafe software, take a look at their useful 'How to Play' guide and FAQ.
Back to the Cashback Website
Having finished your first stint of bingo, close the Bingo Cafe software and go back to the cashback website. You'll now have £22.50 in your account (note it takes a day or two to update so don't worry if it's not showing up yet) but you need a minimum of £25 before they will post the cheque so it's time for another game of Bingo to fulfil this requirement.
However, before doing this you will need to give the cashback website some more details so they know where to post the cheque! Click on the 'My Account' link (on the left-hand side under 'My Info') followed by the 'Update Account Profile' link. Then fill in your personal details and click the 'Submit' button.
Now, type 'gala' into the 'Search for' box and click the 'Go' button. Gala Bingo should be shown in the results and by looking at the text, you'll see that they are offering £10 cashback when you deposit and play through £5. Not as lucrative as Bingo Cafe but a nice little earner and enough to get your cashback balance over £25. Click on the 'Visit Gala Bingo' link and you will be taken to the Gala Bingo website.
Gala Bingo
You don't need to download any software to play Gala Bingo. Simply join up and deposit £5 into your account. Then click the 'Play Bingo Now' button and play through your £5 to earn your cashback. At the present time Gala are also giving an extra £5 to new customers, which is added to your account after you've spent your first £5, giving you extra chances to win. If you do win at Gala, Congratulations! The prizes are all pretty good there, so cash in your winnings. If you don't win at Bingo, don't worry because you've still made a profit.
What Now?
You'll now have £32.50 in your cashback account - £20 from BingoCafe, £10 from Gala and £2.50 for joining up. As I said before, don't worry if it hasn't shown up yet because it can take a day or two to update.
You've spent £15 (£10 on Bingo Cafe and £5 on Gala) so you've made a profit of £17.50, more than doubling your money in half an hour. In a month or two, the cashback website will post out your cheque and you can do whatever you want with the free money.
If you were lucky enough to win at Bingo, then you've probably made even bigger profits.
It is worth taking a look through the other offers on the cashback website to bump up your profits even more. There are plenty more Bingo offers to try as well as cashback offers from a wide range retailers.
The important thing is to not deposit any more cash on the gambling websites after you've played through the initial requirement to get the cashback. The odds are stacked against you so once you've got your cashback, move on to the next deal and retain your profit.
This is a neat little way to earn a bit of extra spending cash so be sure to have fun and Good Luck.
