Morning Fellow GiffGaffers,

The payback is an absoliute win in my book.

does anyone use this as a main source of income (Or a massive chunk of it)?

Just interested!! 🙂

@scottytewks I personally doubt it , as the max you can get in any month is £100 making a max of £600 for the 6 month period of payback if you are lucky enough to get it

scottytewks

That is still £14,400 per year. a pretty good chunk if your a stay at home mum or something 🙂

Sorry but the maximum of £100 per month - which very few people achieve does not equate to £14,400 per year - only £1,200 per year, nor is going 6 months between payouts easy if it is seen as your main salary!

Payback is a nice bonus at present, but the rules can be changed or it can be withdrawn at any time, so it should never be relied upon.

scottytewks

that was some terrible maths on my part 🙂 read it wrong haha yes £1,200 is definitely not enough to support anyone.

its enough for a weeks holiday abroad @scottytewks if you put the work in

scottytewks

aint that the truth £100 a month pays for my Harley Davidson haha

I believe you can earn a lot more if you can enroll new members. Once heard of a student earning £16k, I think it was!

Super recruiters are where the big money is. Especially if you have your own mobile phone business or work on a university campus, having access to international students etc.

Remember, all payback should be declared to the taxman, especially if you already earn over £11800 from other sources.

Payback has been a very useful bonus to me as a stay at home mum using the forums. I’ve not got into recruiting though. Payback has been a nice bonus for Christmas and summer holidays

But it’s not going to be a ‘career’ ... for a while I kept track of how many hours I’d been in the forums and how much payback each month ... it always worked out at somewhere between 70p -110p per hour !!!!

Yes, and this here). I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Open Day in 2013, and his methods of recruitment were quite straightforward actually. But giffgaff didn't rely on advertising so much back then, so if members were prepared to put the work in, the rewards would have been more generous.
