Further to recent postings regarding the commencement of rewards and the nature of the MSE extra reward advantage.
I have seen conflicting suggestions and info about what should/can/does happen
After receiving a news email from MSE I saw the recommendation to join Swagbucks and get an extra £10 added (included?) to a £5 for points earned within 60 days if signing up before 17th June.
I joined on 4th June and quickly achieved the minimum points for the £5.
I have continued to gain points and as of today my points are 1,510.
I had not received an advice regarding the extra MSE points so decided to attempt to claim the £5 and perhaps "kickstart" the receipt process of the extra £10.
Today on searching around in my "account Details" section I found a Pink Highlighted pane which said :-
Account Verification...a postcard with a special pin has been sent to the address you provided "Please enter your pin below",(box for number and an Authenticate button)
Checking my addresses I have provided an e-mail address and my postal address here in the UK. My problem is to where should I expect this Pin to be sent in order to monitor and advise if not received ? There are 2 addresses ! I have not given any telephone numbers.
None of my points have been set aside (apparently) at present, after my attempt to claim the initial £5.
Any clarification and plain explanation of the newbie first payments, (Amazon voucher) process would be very welcome.0 -

You don't send anything.
Swagbucks will send you a postcard, to your physical address, which will have a verification number on it.
When you receive the postcard, you enter the number in the space provided and then your voucher can be claimed.
The postcard takes about 5 days to arrive from what I saw written here yesterday.
As for your bonus £10 someone else will be able to advise who has gone through that process. BargainHunter is one such person I believe.0 -

Here is my breakdown from the signup bonus from MSE
You will see they gave me 1,648 instead of 1,698, then I wrote to support on the same day, and the next day they credited the extra 50SB.
I didn't request any funds repayment to "kickstart" the process.

How and where did this bonus appear ?
Thanks0 -

As with loranius and BargainHunter, mine was initially 50sb short. This was corrected promptly after sending a message via the help centre.
Thanks Stourie this is the sort of detail that helps compare.
On the morning of the 13th I checked my total and it was 860SB.
I have now checked my "ledger" (from 6th June till 18th June ), all my entries for my participation are there but no large amount for " MSE Bonus" , in the MSE it said it could take 10 days to "appear", its now 6 days since I qualified, I will give it another couple of days and then chase it as you suggest.
