    May help people who have a 25SB swag up to use but are also trying to build up SBs to take advantage of the December 'sale'

    I have just looked on the rewards store and can see a £1 Amazon voucher for 175 SB.
    which would be 150Sb after the swag up goes back onto your account,
    (and works out better value than the £25 one for 3999SB which comes out at approx 160SB per pound )

    Using the swag up that way may still give a good chance of reaching the amount required for the sale?

    what do you mean getting the run around?

    if you need to verify your account, you need to request a postcard which normally takes around a week to get here from the US

    if you just need to verify the order, that just means you need to click on a link in the email they send you

    HTH

    I requested the postcard option (since the mobile doesn't work) These are the emails I've had in response:

    Hello,


    We are writing to inform you that we are unable to deliver your requested postcard. This account verification option is being phased out and will be replaced by our ID verification option. At this time, we have reset your verification options. You may now choose to complete your verification options by mobile number or by ID. If you wish to choose the ID verification method, please write back to us with a copy of a government issued ID(ex. Identification Card, Drivers License, Military ID, or Passport). The copy of your photo will be stored on our secure system and will be accessible only to our Compliance Department. We will promptly delete the photo after we review it.


    Regards,
    Compliance Team

    So I opened a case in the help centre and this is what I got

    Thank you for writing in. At this time we are requesting that you verify your account by government issued ID. We apologize for this requirement. Please provide an attachment of a picture of an ID showing name , picture and address. You can cover or block out any sensitive information on your ID, as long as we can see your picture, name and address. The photo copy will be stored on our secure system and be accessible only to our Compliance Department. We will promptly delete the photo after we review it

    Great stuff - thank you! I never knew that existed, because it doesn't show up in the Denominations section of the Rewards - I see you have to go for All Rewards and then scroll through them. I'm going to bookmark it now - if anyone else wants to, it's at http://www.swagbucks.com/p/prize/32880/1-GBP-Amazon-co-uk-Gift-Certificate.
