    Amazon vouchers are added to your account on amazon but will expire 10 years from the time you redeemed them. If you look in your account on Amazon, there is a list of the expiry days alongside the redeemed vouchers and they will alert you in your account balance pages if one is coming up to expire.

    I was under the impression that the vouchers lasted 10 years.

    When the money has gone onto your account, its there forever.

    7. Previously Issued Gift Cards
    Gift Cards issued on or after July 1, 2013 may be redeemed toward the purchase of eligible products up to ten years from the date of issuance, notwithstanding any stated expiration date. Any Gift Cards issued prior to July 1, 2013 expire in accordance with their stated terms.

    If you don't redeem the code on your account, it possibly lasts forever. Once you redeem it it will last 10 years. As per post above, if you look at your gift card balance on Amazon they will have expiry dates.

    I am trying to find a way to say this without offending anyone, but in all honesty, a simple google would have stopped a whole page of confusion.

    I'm lucky if an amazon voucher last me 10 hours once it's in the account...10 years?

    Re the issue of the long first post, if the MSE moderators that have been trying to help us with this have the ability to edit posts, could one of them copy all the advice for newbies into the second post, and then delete it from Becles kind first post, and add a note to say 'see second post for full help on how to earn from Swagbucks'? It would save everyone having to move to another new thread.

    This isn't tidy but the OP could edit their post and have a link to a post to with all the info in and it wouldn't make any difference if it was linking to post 2 or post 100 (temporary inconvenience until the "info" post was off the current page) or a even a stand alone info thread/post

    Thanks everyone for the response on the amazon vouchers, Hopefully 10 years will be long enough to save up!!


    Do many people get SBs for installing apps on their phones? I have tried it a few times and it has never been credited. Is it quite unreliable?

    Hi,

    Can somebody tell me what an instant survey is? and also how do I get there?

    Thanks
    They appear on the SB front page from time to time and go very quickly. Usually they are just a couple of questions at most for a few SB points. You need to have any adblocker plugins turned off if you have them active in your browser in order to see them.

    Think of them as a little bonus if you see one pop up. :)

    I used to do the app a day (there were 3 of these things) on android. Most of the time you only get it credited the first time you install it.

    But if you don't get credited, just screenshot and submit a request to help and they will credit you (at the bottom right of web browser it says Need help? Click that to submit a ticket).

    Hi all, I have previously used a swagbucks but am now getting into it again. Just wondering how many points you try and earn a day? I have been doing the daily tasks, any surveys that I qualify for, playing games etc. I'm not really wanting to do the whole downloading apps/registering emails as some of these things seem to be a bit spammy, or am I just throwing points away?

    The apps and email submits under offers don't always work but when they do it doesn't really take much effort for the reward. Only tip would be use a separate email for such things so you aren't inundated with spam on your main email. The apps can also be deleted once the credit (usually instantly or a few minutes after opening the app).
