Basically rpoints (like greasypalm etc) give cashback on stuff you buy and it's put into your rpoints account. The joining bonus and ebay bonus are similarly put into your account which you can withdraw either to your bank account or via paypal (or voucchers I think - like amazon but I am not exactly certain of the arrangements here). There is a minimum cashout of £25 - so you have to earn a bit more to get the cashout initially. But I did this easily and freely. If you go to "easy points" you can get free money by joining others sites and up to a quid a day just for clicking through to kelkoo, dealtime etc. (If you want to take even more money from ebay then you can even get 4p per bid on an item - you don't have to be the highest bidder). Unlike ipoints, where you have to take your rewards out in gift form, rpoints (and greasypalm) give you cash.
