  • With the help of a few Fisher tasks I was able to get my 75 SB and my first Monthly Master.

    Hope it wasn't all in vain as it's 3 weeks and no verification yet.

    Anyone understand all this nonsense about gift card 'sales' being posted on Facebook? As usual SBUK can't answer the question about whether it applies to the UK or not, even though they posted it!

    The New Gift Card Discount Changes are Fast Approaching
    by TeamSwagBucksUK on Fri, February 27th, 2015 at 9:30 pm

    This is a friendly reminder that our exciting new Gift Card discounts go into effect Monday. March 2nd
    Here’s a quick 3 point recap of what that means:

    1. Starting March 2nd at 4pm GMT, you will be able to redeem one $25 Gift Card every month for only 2,200 Swag Bucks. This amazing deal applies to ALL GIFT CARDS BRANDS with the exception of PayPal.

    2. We will also be introducing a new $3 Amazon Gift Card (for 300 SB). So now you can redeem SB for Amazon Gift Cardsget them in nearly half the time.

    3. To accommodate these benefits, the $5 Amazon Gift Cards will be priced at 500 SB, the same as all other $5 Gift Cards. Additionally the limit of 5 redemptions per month for Amazon Gift Cards will be lifted.

    First time hearing about this? You’re probably wondering why we made these changes and how they benefit you. The answer to these, and many more questions, can be found in the original announcement made by our Chief Rewards Officer, Eron Zehavi.

    I think that only applies to the US and Canada. I'll try and find the post that said that and will link to it. I think it was on the blog...

    Yes, but it's all in dollars. A £25 UK Amazon gift card costs a whopping 4199 points! Will we get 1 at half price, unlikely I think.

    Our £3 costs 525SB
    Our £5 now costs 849!

    I think you are correct. Just read the original blog 30th Jan and it talks about smaller denomination cards all in $. Aimed at people being able to get rewards quicker or cash in their pockets I suppose. I would always go for the best value.

    Why SBUK have re-published it god only knows. Cannot see it being done with £ cards.
