Help - I Thought 15,000 Points is £15 but I Only Got £10 Amazon Voucher?
Help
Q: I thought 15,000 points is a £15 Amazon voucher but I only got £10?
A:
This picture shows the rewards for the points you earn. At the time of writing...
- For your first 5,000 points you get £5 (total points earned = 5,000)
- For your next 10,000 points you get £10 (total points earned = 15,000)
Once you claim your points, they are not deducted.
In other words, once you have 5,000 points and claim your first £5 reward, you still have 5,000 points. We do not reset it to zero. When you reach 15,000 points, we have already rewarded you for your first 5,000 points (assuming you have claimed it) so the difference remaining is 10,000 points.
You can also see a full explanation for everything you earn points for here:
Plus, in the link above if you're logged in you will see your points log (what you've earned points for).
Please note - you must claim each reward separately. Press the blue "Claim" button under each reward in your Dashboard.
If you reach 15,000 points and you have not claimed the 5,000 reward, press "Claim" on both the 5,000 and the 15,000 rewards. You will receive two separate vouchers for £5 and £10, totalling £15.
Think of it as starting again with points. If it was any other way would be getting bit vouchers all the time
I didn't realise there were larger denominations to claim, thought it was just £5 for every 5,000 points!
Well it is £5 for every 5,000 points just that the gap between claims gets bigger. So after you have claimed £5 and £10 for 15,000 points you then can't claim until 50,000 which is another 35,000. £5 for each of the 7 lots of 5,000 equals £35.
I'm a newbie too...I just went to my Dashboard and clicked on 'Claim' for £5 then same for £15 .... have to wait for them to be processed tho....only just now claimed mine.
BORDERJOE Thank you! I have found the dashboard now, will make a claim when I know I need something from Amazon
Tom Thank you! I found it eventually plus a whole lot of other interesting information!
ohhh i didnt know you could claim like that i thought it was that amount for one option, i completely recommend newbies look here once explained like this its easy to understand
It say I have 335 points but schrolling down it shows all the points I have earned but there not on my total of points why is this please
TracyStorrie App? After all these years I've never used LD's app. Heh.
Then again, I prefer to use the browser for everything that's possible (that includes Amazon, too).
PhilipMarc I prefer the app. Sites that have daily points etc that don’t have an app I often forget about
PhilipMarc I prefer the website as I love to sit at a laptop or computer.
But if you allow notifications through the app there are sometimes a free competitions you can claim through the app, as it gets uploaded as you get notified and you can also get points through the daily streak - which resets on the first of every month or if you miss a day.
I only found out yesterday that you could claim 10 points from Deals Round Up every day...
janphoenix51 10 points+
Day 4 is 20 points, Day 8 is 30 points... The highest is day 28 with 80 points, these are if you continue the consecutive days streak by claiming daily.
DeBunny ...Thanks you,only found it by chance,now I can't remember where it was...58 yesterday!!
janphoenix51 Aww Happy Belated birthday!!
Sorry to hear it was very eventful (just saw below)
If you download the LatestDeals on your new phone, open the app, check in notifications and scroll to the bottom, that is where you claim your daily points, you should get 3-4 To Daily Roundups in the day, and the yellow claim button will only appear on one of them.
I still have my 100000 Points Amazon Voucher to add to my Account from a few weeks ago & as it's my birthday today I shall treat myself ..x
Tom ...Thanks Tom,my phone decided to die on the date I was born so couldn't access any birthday messages from family & friends or use any apps as it just wouldn't turn on!!
I was on a Teams Day,10am-3pm then was supposed to.be on shift till 10pm!
I borrowed mate's phone on our break in the morning to see if my partner had fixed it,couldn't do it ..
My boss let me finish early & was going to retail centre & buy a new phone but my partner had ordered me one,collected & wrapped it for my birthday!
Sugarbabe...Thank you, eventful,getting a lift from my colleague back to work after our Teams Day nr Sheffield United ground a car pulls out & she has to swerve to avoid his car,luckily we were fine & she drove back to work! X
Thank you for explanation. I didn’t realise how the system worked. Didn’t know they were not reset to zero. How do you remember what has been claimed and remainder entitled to?
So it doesn’t make any difference to the actual amount you receive in total whether you claim it in little bits or let it build up?
suevernon1968 that's right. Taking it down to basics you get £50 for every 50,000 points and it really doesn't take that long to build them up. I have a total of 550,000 so altogether I have received £550 since I joined. I am very grateful to the LD team for their help, explanations and rewards and this is the only site I use. I like chat most.
Sometimes I don't contribute much, but if I am saving for a birthday or something I will make a concerted effort.
Lynibis same as me, I get these vouchers and save them in my Amazon total for Christmas, I did £250 last year , hoping to do the same this year
Lynibis when I first started I only thought it was the cheap offers on here and nothing else. Its nice to discover new things!
martinlufc5637 i’m using my vouchers to pay for spotify for the year, makes me feel less guilty about having it.
I know it all looks a bit confusing when you first start on this site. But having re read it I'm sure it is all starting to make a bit more sense now. It's normal human behaviour to read or hear what we are hoping to read/hear. I made exactly the same mistake, so you're not alone.
