    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.

    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.

    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.

    I received my bonus a few days after hitting the 849sb target (target on 13th, bonus on 16th). If you still haven't received yours, I'd recommend contacting the help centre (the link is at the bottom of the Swagbucks page).

    How and where did this bonus appear ?
    Thanks

    In my ledger, on the 16th of this month, having earned the required 849sb on the 13th.

    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.
    thanks
