Swagbucking into 2017

Apologies if anyone has posted this before, but I have been working out the cheapest way to get cash for your swagbucks through PayPal. It's rather annoying that Amazon gift cards cost more SBs than PayPal ones, but I have found a way around it. I've been getting MasterCard gift cards, which are the same number of SBs as Amazon ones. Then I log into PayPal and send myself an invoice for the gift card amount, using a different email address to my PayPal account. I then pay that invoice using my gift card. You have to pay a fee of 3% +20p, but it still works out better value pence per Swagbuck than getting a PayPal gift card. A £25 gift card will give you £23.95 in your PayPal account and a £10 gift card £9.46. The bigger amount you claim at once makes it slightly cheaper, as you only pay the 20p once along with the 3%. I hope all that makes sense!
Thanks for this :beer: Although I think you meant to say that It's rather annoying that Paypal gift cards cost more SBs than Amazon ones

With the US waking up in the next few hours were the guinea pigs hopefully all the problems will be ironed out early in the afternoon.0

I think you meant that the other way around.
I always cash out when I reach £5 so any losses will be as small as possible if they go out of business (same for any survey/reward/cashback site) I might take paypal if it was the best value but I can always find a use for Amazon vouchers.
Oops yes I did!
I needed PayPal vouchers recently to get something that wasn't on Amazon, I cash out at 5 too, but just put some figures up, to give an idea of how much you get doing it that way.0 -
Does anyone know if you redeem a paypal voucher does that count towards the redeeming a gift card on the swago box?0

At first mine didn't fill having only done a peanut lab survey although it filled in the to do list. I've now done a gold survey and that has filled the Swago square.0
