How long do gift cards take to arrive? I want to give one to DD1 for her birthday next week. I take it they will be virtual cards, will they be transferrable?? Thinking of I-Tunes or Amazon.

It's impossible to say for certain- it depends on the amount you redeem. Certain amounts are more popular than others, generally the smaller denominations. Amazon are probably more popular than iTunes, so go quicker.

I always redeem for £25 Amazon at the moment as it gives a better rate of return. I only ever wait 2 days at most, sometimes it's there in 24 hours.

Oh, and yes- they are transferable- some like Barnes and Noble allow you to forward the original email code. Others, like John Lewis and Amazon- I've written the code inside a card when passing it on as a gift.

Well guys, I just fixed all my apps again using the apk.

It turns out even though I had play store settings set to never update, the individual app option still set to update. I made sure to untick these options for each app individually.

If anyone needs to go through the same unfortunate process as me, here are some helpful links:-

APKs for the 6 SB apps:

In your my account set the parameters for today... it should say under Answers. Mine does - 4DQ and 1 complete!

ETA: If it does start at 8pm I shall be mightily annoyed as the banner has been up on the answers page since this morning and only says attempt 5 surveys til Sun.

On the Gold Surveys page it says "Attempt 5 Surveys a day until Sunday and receive 75 SB Swag Up!"

I hope we do get this but I don't see anywhere that they are keeping a tally. Today I have completed 2 surveys but attempted 9 but I'm not sure how they will know that! Just realised that question has been answered in the post above mine.

Actually do they mean attempt 5 Gold Surveys or any 5 surveys? I never get offered Gold Surveys but do a lot of PL ones.

btw 10 sb for searching "soul mates"

Assuming you are talking of Android.

I only changed two settings in Play Store:
- Auto update apps (No)
- App updates available (No)

I don't see any other ticks, unless you refer to the notification for each app, in which case you need to go to Setting > Manage Applications > Downloaded.

On my phone, when I am in play store I clicked on my installed apps/all apps, click on the app itself (Sportly etc) and on the right hand corner there is the "three dots icon", if you click on it there is an option to tick/untick for auto update.

Edit: Here are pics

I cannot belive how easy it is to complete surveys today. I have completed 4 already. What is worse is that I am now doing one for 31SB that says 25 minutes.:eek::mad: No matter what I put down it will not kick me out!:eek:
