I got a KitKat on the last day of first year in secondary school for not missing a day.

Take Your Pants Off

I got a inflatable arm chair from my primary school after raising 200E for charity.

I rewarded my son a new car after he got very good results for his LC

Has to be the giant galaxy easter egg I won in primary school. Close second would be the medal from college for graduating top of my class. Definitely the sweet sweet egg is first though.

Not a story as such but I try to do at least one good deed everyday. I don't get a reward out of it, I just enjoy helping others. Did I mention that I also love 40" TVs??

helped someone out who was involved in an accident a few years ago and a couple of days later I got a nice box of chocs.. was nice that they acknowledged the assistance, even though there was no need to

As a loyal Electric Ireland customer I've been rewarded with consistent price rises despite falling costs and pay levels elsewhere in the Irish and world economy. How I laughed to read about ongoing pay rises at ESB, no relation to Electric Ireland of course, although the deals were probably negotiated before the break up! But the best reward of all is getting to see Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin prancing around for no particular reason to mark Powering Rewards! No doubt the cost of rewarding her for all her efforts will be passed on to me too!

Virtue is its own reward!

Captured Flynn Rider  and collected the reward

I painted the neighbor's fence when I was a kid, got a lovely five pound note as a reward for my troubles. Its far harder finding kids to do it these days for a fiver, half of them have set up their own painting business by ten.

Gave a fairy cake to a very sick relative who was so sick he could not communicate very well. all my baking efforts were rewarded with a big smile and a gesture for another bite.

In such a sad situation it was a small moment of delight for him but a massive wave of happiness for me to see him enjoy something I had put a bit of time and care into making.

I won a lovely pewter medal in an art competition when I was in primary school, not an amazing thing but I recall how proud I was when I see it now.

As a reward for doing my work well, I get more work. I've decided to stop that.

Sadderday

when the old couple were shocked that i gave up my seat on the bus so that they could sit together... the nicest reward is that it was appreciated and the couple said it restored their faith in good people.

Rewarded with a door slammed in my face after finding and returning a lost purse, would do the same again though.

Got the greatest reward of my life just before Christmas 2013 when my son Alex was born!    I couldn't imagine my life without him now:)   He's always smiling and laughing.    I can't wait to sit him down in front of the new TV and show him all of my favorite shows like Breaking Bad and Game Of Thrones!

Got two free gaa all ireland tickets at work two years ago, for the Mayo V Donegal match and they were as usual hard to come by! so there was one for me and instead of giving the ticket to a fellow Mayo supporter I gave it to my friend a Donegal supporter, she was delighted, and even more so when they won!

The reward I received once was a medal back in the good old 90s for community games.

My 5-year old son asked for a reward for eating all of his dinner. I told him the reward was he'd grow big and strong. He said it was a stupid reward and that he wanted a jaffa cake. I said no.

I was rewarded a gold star for doing well in my homework in 3rd class. Not a day goes by I don't think about it

I was told my rewards for my efforts in life so far would be in heaven but to be honest a 40” TV would be great right now. 

A few years ago on Christmas Eve I found a set of false teeth on the ground in the smoking area of my local pub.  I handed them in to the bar staff and when I visited the pub a week later I was handed €20 by the bar staff and a free drink!

The lady that owned the teeth collected them on St Stephens day, the owner of the bar had a fair idea that they belonged to her and phoned her earlier that day to let her know.  She was thrilled to be reunited with her teeth so she left a score for me, I was delighted!

I remember as a young fella, I was short a penny for the price of a lollipop, but the shopkeeper gave it to me anyway and told me not to worry. 
I ran as quick as I could back to my dad to get the penny and ran all the way back to the shop. When I gave him the extra penny he the praised my honesty and gave me an extra lollipop.

Got rewarded a new sponge for doing the dishes lol

A few years back, I was a technician in a company fixing computers / servers / printers / etc when one of my co-workers brought a boxed Xbox 360 into me.  I thought I was supposed to fix it when I noticed it was brand new and unopened.

Turned out I had won it in the Xmas work raffle, which I had no idea existed or that I was even in it.

I didn't get much jealousy off others considering another co-worker won an insanely priced TV.

Was a great surprise.............until the console died a short time later (It was well outside of it's warranty since they had bought a long time before Xmas).  I managed to fix it but then a friend borrowed it and completely killed it by dropping it.

Just wasn't to be :pac:

After pulling a cracker at Christmas last year in work, I was rewarded with a One-4-all voucher.

can't think of a specific reward story, so here's a great song on the topic (ESB - use this song in your ads, you'll sell loads more leccy):

My granny used to reward me by letting me bring the Coke and Fanta bottles back to the shop and keep the 5p (or was it 10p) deposit.
