Okay, so I may have mentioned already that I am a rewards point junkie - but I thought I'd share with you all my latest reward point junkie-ness since I'm officially stopping it from tonight onwards. You may have seen the Persil promotion where you collect points towards rewards off every box of Persil. Well, I was sitting around bored one day and worked out, that to get the 75 points for a $60 Toyworld Voucher, you would need to purchase 8.3 boxes of Persil. I then worked out that Woolworths and Foodtown had Persil on special for $5.99 a box last week, and that worked out as under $50 worth of Persil for a $60 toyworld voucher and a heap of washing powder which I use anyway. Needless to say, my cupboards are absolutely packed with washing powder and I now have $180 worth of Toyworld vouchers which don't expire until June 2007....that seems to be the boys' Xmas presents sorted....and the washing powder situation fine until 2008 or so.... One question - does washing powder expire?  ------------- |

how many points would you get off a code? I don't know if it is worth starting to collect them or not!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have just redeemed my points for th $60 voucher and smoch, have got my SIL and MIL and my mum getting me their codes so I am hoping to get more by the time the promotion ends. Anything for free and as you say always needing washing powder - considering two kids and a hubby whose into sports doesn't last long. Got it on special at New World this week and so will go and get more to start saving for the next lot.... so Ia m with you all the way emeldee ------------- Ann

The 1.5kg box was worth 9 points from memory. I ended up having 3 lots of the $60 voucher and smock reward - seemed like a better deal with them paying us $6 to use their washing powder ($60 voucher from $54 worth of washing powder with the Foodtown/Woolworths special last week). The one thing to watch out on is there is a limit to the number of rewards on the promotion - check out the terms and conditions http://162.61.225.205/dirtisgood/prizes.php - Persil prizes ------------- |

Yep have seen that when I redeemed points last night there was only 59 of the $60 voucher plus left. More of the other ones though. I have just asked at work and Boss uses it so going to get her codes too. Oh this is great fun!! Saves at christmas. ------------- Ann

I had an idea for the powder... You could buy a bucket with a lid and pour it all in there, lid on would mean safe from kids and also dry... I think it would probably last longer being dryer than just some open boxes??? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'll have to take a photo. We have cupboards quite high on the laundry room wall which are stacked full of re-sealed (with packing tape) boxes of persil. If the worst occurs, we can always use them as insulation.... ------------- |

I am like you emerlee in that I have 8 boxes of persil re sealed with masking tape in the laundry (I don't think DH knows how much I have brought haha)I have just got some codes off my mum and low and behold I am 3 points short of getting the $60 voucher again - soooo here is my plea if anyone reading this is not taking advantage of the persil points would you PM me the code on your persil box so I can use the points - I only need one to make it up. Sure helps at christmas when baby arrives and not working.
