    Amazon will be in the sale on April 7th!

    Tempting, but I'll stick with PayPal as method of payment. I started this as a way to top up our holiday account, so Amazon vouchers won't help pay for our holiday.

    Then again, will wait to see how much discount is offered for the Amazon vouchers....:o

    Yeah sorry for some reason I thought they cost more o.o. Hopefully I'll earn a lot more though before then as I want to save up for the £25 paypal as it's my sons birthday in May and I want to buy im a playhouse which is £125 and well every little helps <3
    that sounds lovely a little tip that my friend does she gets the M&S vouchers and uses them to buy her milk and some other basics which she says are about the same price as where she normally shops then saves the money she would have spent, as the the vouchers are less sbs than paypal just a thought if your near a M&S

    anyone who is new to swagbucks remember that when you first cash out they usually require you to enter a pin that is sent by post and has caused people to miss out on sales in the past, at Christmas they agreed to honor any sale price cashed out by people until they received their pin but best ask before the sale if you have not cashed out yet to see what will happen.

    That's useful to know, thanks kitkat. Is there a way to request a pin in advance, or do you have to have enough SB and click on the offer you want first?

    I wouldn't be surprised either it they said something like the following


    7th april £5 on sale
    8th april £15 on sale
    9th april £25 on sale etc etc


    they like to give but just a little not a lot hopefully they will soon tell us how much they will be and exact dates of all cards.

    Sneaky Swagbucks! ;)

    I was thinking the same thing about the M&S vouchers, I might use them towards normal shopping and then save my grocery money for something else. Same could be said for Amazon, I'm a terrible spender when it comes to Amazon :embarasse

    its when you order your first voucher they verify you, I send them a message and ask them what will happen sorry cant help anymore as when I started swagbucks they sent the pin to my mobile but they don't seem to do that anymore and it can take a couple of weeks for people to receive the pin by post ive heard if paulshorse is around he often finds out what will happen with things like this so paul if your about some newbies may need your help please

    yeah they can be sneaky at Christmas most vouchers got at least a week for the sale but the amazon ones were only given a long weekend and they only included the £25, £50 and £100


    I like you am a terrible spender but love seeing all my amazon credits in my account

    i got my 1st amazon voucher with no verification code needed and i got it the same day.
    a week later i tried ordering another one and thats when they said i needed a pin verification and they would sent a postcard, which arrived within a week, ordered my 2nd voucher (which took 10 days to arrive).

    Good idea but sadly no where near a Marks and Spencer will not without spending too much petrol and I'd have to pay in a pay and display car park x.

    However I've swapped to Aldi instead of Asda AND my local group on FB told me that The Mirror to vouchers every Thursday so looks like I'll be buying that! I won't read it but I can make brilliant crafts out of it with my little one yay recycling! :D
