#BlogLife947 - Playtime app, Close to £10 redemption

Yowser had the app installed since August 2024 and only now close to redeeming £10.

But actually when I got the new phone (5th March 2025) the A16 I started fresh and reinstalled it on that phone, there didn't seem to be a way to transfer the points over.

56000 for £10 Amazon credit. 11200 for £2 credit and 28000 for £5.

For Google playstore and Paypal it's different but I'm only keen on Amazon.

It's become easier as I really like the Monopoly Go, it has various tournaments and things solo, or as a group.

Then Phase 10, which is a complicated rummy game is actually fun but buggy.

6.5 months it's taken. I could install new games and bump the points for a bonus, but I haven't seen any that appeal.

Every day they rotate the games but it's just 2/3 games, mainly the same, it's a horrendous system.

Just list all the games available, dodos!! Would I recommend it?

I'll update you when I redeem to tell you the process and if I actually receive it.

It's a slow burn. Mistplay was faster but then that was slowly collecting all your personal details so that felt icky towards the end.

Name, email, phone number and photo. Yuckity. There is no reason you need all of that identity theft information.

You have to really enjoy gaming daily for it to be worthwhile. As I genuinely enjoy the games, it's just earning on the side, for having fun.

If your patient, it will work out, if you're expecting millions straight away, this is not for you.

I like simple ways to boost some extra cash so that's why I'm sharing the reality of these apps and my experiences with them.

It might suit or it might not but these are the reviews I would like to read before I download the app.

Ugh Evri is being so slow with the toothbrush charger, no updates since the 11th when it was picked up.

Cripes it's now the 16th. 4 days of nothingness and my toothbrush has died completely.

Bloody cleaners, stealing or binning my stuff! 

Ok it's just gone 12.30pmish and I answered the door assuming it was the Postie.

But nope, it was that follow up appointment, he just showed up and I just felt vulnerable.

The annoying thing is, he's so polite and he kept asking if I was alright but I felt bewildered.

It's like someone has taken advantage and then you've willingly opened the door for them to do it again..

I mean the job is completed, the progress seems finalised. I'm so glad he didn't take the dvd/vcr player.

But there wasn't an apology. It's like he's trying to appear nice but has no issue mucking customers around routinely and lying about it..

I hate confrontation so I couldn't even speak much and fear gripped me but he's gone and I have to stop punishing myself.

I make the decisions that I think are the best and that's all I can do.

I can't see the future, I don't know what will happen, it's just guesswork and now he's gone, it's ticked off my list.

It just kinda seemed like insult to injury when he said, if you need us, you can can get in touch...

No thank you. I wanted to give him a hard time but I couldn't, what if he retaliated, he's a tall strong guy..

Anyway, it's done and I don't have to deal with him or the company any longer.

Just going to add this final thing as I saw a letter addressed to me on the floor next the postbox, What on earth..

Good job I was taking out the bins. Of course DWP waits ages and then gets back to me.

Let's check the date for the last correspondence or call.. It was a letter on the 17 June.

June!!!! And now it's September. Do you know how ridiculous that is?

Two whole months and what does the latest letter say? Not a conclusion, not a fine......

Altogether now??? You can guess it.... It is due by the 24th September so hopefully the buses are running by that time.

She wants...... Drum roll please...

Yet another Paypal statement....... What a tedious predictable bore she is!!!

It's going to be the same as all the rest, I mean I should count how many I've sent. I can't be bothered though.

What makes me laugh, is she has sent instructions but not listed a date range.

But this time the DWP nitwit, asks for pdf. I don't give a toss really. This is ongoing harassment.

I've provided the same answers all the way through this 11 months of being hassled by her.

And so will do it all again, provide yet another duplicate paypal statement report and send it on Saturday or Monday.

I will use the library, print it out and pay for it, then she provided a prepaid envelope so that's easy.

Let's predict how long the response will take? Christmas, December.. I think..

Or even January for a change.. I think she'll say the same bs...

Oh you're not co-operating, even though you did what I asked. I'm not happy so throwing an adult tantrum, wah wah wah :(

Like I said due to her power bullying trip, when she finally gets around to fining me, my balance will be near zero, with the bills and expenses..

*Shrugs, another day, another Witch to deal with..*

Still no sign of the boiler maintenance guy. I'll update with her bs response when I get it...

#BlogLife744 - Mistplay alternative - Playtime app

I was just gaming on my phone and saw this cash app and thought hmm, which led me to the Playstore and then this recommended app popped up, Playtime.

I used this and was a big fan of Mistplay until they started being predatory and demanding more and more personal information.

Aka email and phone number and the last thing was a photo? What the hell for??

Anyway uninstalled that because it's too much like identity theft and you have to be careful these days about what you share and with whom to avoid scammage.

I read some reviews and what I liked was that the minimum payout was £2 and you can choose Amazon, Paypal or Playstore.

I downloaded it and got a welcome bonus but there are only 4 games to choose from and none of them appealed that much.

Then I allowed the setting, to share what games I downloaded so they can track and reward me and 4 different games showed up.

The other 4 left ha. But I still need to download one of them, to open up the gallery to hopefully see a whole load more.

It's kind of annoying but I suppose that's how they get you to engage with the app..

I'll let you know how the cashout process goes and if I find a game that appeals.

It's one of those things where, it tracks how long you are playing the game and then rewards you.

My sneaky tip would be, find a game with autoplay and if you can spare the battery life and don't need your phone.

Or like me have an alternative phone, then it's more convenient.

Actually I should have probably downloaded it to the Samsung but then again, that doesn't have a memory card, so it's always on the full side.

I decided on Word City Connect, those games with the roundy grid, where you twirl and make up the words.

Ahhh they cap your coinage at 600 daily. They say there are daily challenges but don't tell you what they are.

After downloading that one game, now there are only 2 listed options.

Not really keen on the setup. Basically you download these crappy games and then get a trickle more options available?

Why the hell don't they just say, Hey You, here is our entire range, pick for yourself..

And the games are always riddled with adverts, that I just refuse to watch.

I press the home or minimise button and then click on the app to restore it and boom, no commercial.

To cash out for £2 I need 11200 coins, my balance is 4289. I think I will cashout once and then uninstall, there are loads of alternatives.

For these things, you need a game that you actually enjoy playing, otherwise it's uninteresting.

Effortless gaming, you'll lose interest and not get rewarded otherwise.

Surely there must be an app with endless games to choose from??

Oh after downloading the 2nd game, more games were available but still, it's a small variety.

The bonus challenges, are just climbing higher levels. Hmm actually found 2 cute games.

One is Thief Puzzle, you play a thief trying to bend your hand and arm to pilfer things.

Basic graphics but funny images. Play might be unlimited, I'm not sure.

The other is a competitive game, Horse Shoe 3D, where you toss it and have to hit the score thingy.

I don't know if you're playing against the computer or online players but once you get the hang of it, cute.

Overall I'm not sure if I recommend it or not, it's too early to tell. At least the cashout is low and there is 3 methods of payment, that's something at least.
