    will i ever get that 609SB survey :(

    A lot of people have been mentioning going for paypal recently. Though its £5 less valuable & takes forever i have decided to go for the £100 paypal myself. I was wasting the amazon money on stuff i didn't really need. Money is far more valuable to me. We want to have a small wedding & that £100 would cover 90% of the legal fees. Sadly they dont accept amazon vouchers :p

    It's working for me and crediting. The stupid Sky captcha seems to cause a problem every now and then where the submit button doesn't work, but refreshing the window or closing it and opening a new one both seem to clear it.

    Just checked and it's credited 7 times since about 9 a.m.

    Have you got ad blocking software turned on? Try using Chrome if you're not already. It seems to work better in that than Firefox.

    At the moment £100 Paypal costs 180 SB per £1, but Amazon vouchers are on sale and only cost 165 SB per £1 for any denomination of voucher.

    Even when not on sale, the £5 Amazon voucher costs 170 SB per £1 which is still cheaper than the Paypal cash.

    OK, you can spend cash on whatever you want, but there's always something I want/need on Amazon so I'd rather cash out early than risk losing it all if my account ever gets closed.


    At £100 Paypal the cost is a lot lower than it is at £5

    £5 costs 999 swagbucks and if you multiply that by 20 it would be 19,980.
    However, at £100 in one transaction, it is only 18,000 SBs and the cost compared to Amazon is much better.

    It is worth losing the £5 extra Amazon voucher in order to get £100 cash for me and for many.
    Added to which, Amazon stuff costs more than anywhere else too so it evens out.

    You can't use Amazon vouchers for everything and there is the temptation to spend it if its sat in an account gathering dust.
    I'd much rather have the cash for holidays or bigger things, like new kitchens or new windows.

    Word to the wise, remember Martin Lewis is the guru on MSE and he says to
    CASH OUT AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE AMOUNT

    That is because there is always a sizeable risk that these companies will go bust. I know whose advice I'll be trusting.
