    As it turns out, if this comes up for anyone it's well worth doing. Not only did I get the Swagbucks but they sent me a $50 amazon gift card code for 25 minutes work.

    This was via the Dashboard surveys so watch out for those.

    Have you tried to redeem this yet?

    I just have and it won't let me on UK amazon :( - I don't think it's possible because it's in dollars not pounds

    I also didn't get the swagbucks from the two surveys through which I clicked through to do it. On one I was in the waitroom for ages past the appointment time and just clicked to get the $3 .. and once i did the full interview - at the end of both there was no redirect to SB. 300 SB not credited. I have so many thing to put tickets in for it's exhausting.

    Great the bonuses went in early. Noticed my total went up & i was confused , then checked and there it was.
    Normally get 720ish however like i said a bad month so only got 416 however so far hit the second target everyday so far , so i am on course :)


    Also cashed out another £25. Made £115 since 22nd march on swagbucks. Not bad for just over 3 months worth of work :)

    I got the swagbucks for qualifying for the survey immediately. I did notice, like you said, for some daft reason they've given us US gift card, but my other half assures me I can still use it to order stuff, just using the US site rather than the UK one. As the $ to £ ratio is so good at the moment it actually works out more than the £25 they promised us, so I figured what the hell.

    I also noticed the bonuses have gone in. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw my points had gone up by over 1000!!

    Surprised to see the June bonuses added. It is my first but thought they were credited on the 5th. Now I can claim another voucher. I am claiming the £5 Amazon vouchers each time I reach the target. My thoughts are the sale may end & I would be annoyed if I had saved up & had to save more. Can you see any problem with this other than the smaller denominations take longer to show in the gift area?

    As you say, they take longer to credit and they often end up waiting for 2 weeks plus before Amazon sends them new codes.

    They went on sale earlier this year and were cheaper than they are now and then after the initial 'sale' ended they kept them on sale but upped the price slightly to what it is now.

    If we were buying something with real money, then they couldn't keep them on sale as they are doing but because its only point redemption, they can keep them on sale forever if they like and it is beneficial to us too.

    Personally, I don't redeem £5 for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I don't want loads of voucher codes to keep track of when one code will suffice and second, I like the challenge of hitting a higher target quicker each time. For example, I might challenge myself to hitting a £25 target in one week, just to give me a push to do that bit more but I guess you could do that with £5.

    Oh, and I'm glad to see bonuses in too. Yay! :T

    Under the Special Offers tab there used to be a box you could click that showed offers you had clicked through, and how long you had to wait for the offer to credit. If it didn't credit within the allotted time you could put in a ticket. The box has disappeared so I'm not sure if I just wait an hour and then put a ticket in myself?
