    So from 4th January we have both Collectors Bills (until the 17th) and Search & Learn (until the 8th) - plus, of course, the Gift Card Sale all the way from 1st January to 25th February. Anybody might think they are trying to be good to us! Or maybe they're afraid that our New Year's Resolution will be "no more Swagbucks"...?

    I have just spoken to my friend and she was telling me that she got 55sb for her Birthday, but she can only claim them with in that month and if she buys a GV :( what happened to them just giving it to you
    by adding it to your account I'll wager not many people take up that generous offer

    Happy New Year.

    The sale prices are in for the gift cards and Paypal.

    Check your sums before you cash out - I want to cash out via Paypal, and although all denominations are on sale, it is cheaper to cash out 2 x £25 (3750 x 2 = 7500) than 1 £50 payout at 9000. 5 £10 cashouts at sale price are as expensive as buying 1 £50 at sale price.

    I need some help! I just had a survey not credit, but I didn't write down the survey number before it started. :doh: It was a Global Test Market survey about music, mostly about different moods you'd be in when you'd listen, and whether you agreed with different members of your household about what to listen to. Would you rather give up music or sex. That sort of thing. Does anyone have the survey number please? :o

    (I do have a screenshot from the end saying 'Success! You've just completed a survey!' but I wasn't fast enough to capture the survey ending screen on GTM itself.)

    Sorry I can't be much help for you about this, but it's also happened the same for me with this survey. I didn't get any survey numbers or screenshots, but have put a ticket in straight away and asked if they'll also credit the points against today's total because that's the only survey I've had all day!!

    As far as the Amazon cards are concerned, there is no difference in SB-per-£ for any of the denominations - they're all 150SB per £1. So one might as well cash in even at the £3 level as soon as one qualifies, and be able to use the vouchers straight away, rather than wait to build up a higher value.

    Made me laugh, sorry!
    I think a lot of the unhappiness is their new "stuff you" attitude for non crediting surveys, as a result I am doing less as dont want to take risk that half an hours effort wont be rewarded.
    In case anyone missed it on earlier posts Hello2016 is worth 2sb if popped in before 2pm

    Yeah, I mentioned that when I put my ticket in to them
  • Do they run extra checks on you if you redeem paypal rather than other giftcards? I was looking at redeeming paypal instead of amazon etc, but the blurb said they need all kinds of details linked to the paypal account where as other places just need your email linked to paypal?

    The £3AGC is on sale at 500SB so about 167SB per £.

    On another note £25 Paypal is also 150SB per £ (same value as Amazon), so for some people maybe worth cashing out that instead.
