  • I have more than 8k SB sitting in my account and almost a month after requesting verification, I can't redeem them because I have received no postcard.

    Yesterday I messaged SB asking a simple question, they have instead reset the verification, so now I have to wait for another postcard, who know if/when it ever arrives. Postal verification is useless.

    I have lost faith in SB. I am taking a break from Swagbucks because it doesn't make any sense to work for free.

    The phones that have been linked to are PAYG so the answer is no, just make sure whichever one you buy is PAYG and only use wifi and not 3G data

    Thank you!

    I never had to do postcard verification. What prize are you trying to redeem?

    This is probably a really stupid question but do you have to keep topping up the android phones each month with further credit?
    I have an old iphone that can be used with no credit for Internet uses etc, is android like this?

    It would depend who your sim is with, some will deactivate after 6 months of no use. (Using wifi won't count so just make a short call or text every now and then)

    Are you based in UK? Mobile verification doesn't accept a UK number.

    Yes , is this for verifying your account ? I think I did it via Paypal or e-mail.

    Ok, it makes sense. I applied for an Amazon gift card. But then will you be asked for a postal verification if you then redeem a gift card?

    I have redeemed an Amazon giftcard last Sunday and verified my order with my security question. This is also how I verify my Paypal orders.

    Do you have a security question when you look at your settings ?
