    does everyone cash in in £5 amounts? Im hoping to save towards a nintendo switch for my son for christmas so was going to save a big amount or will amazon accept lots of £5 codes?
    (should say Im new to this only been doing it 4 days but already have over 500sb)

    You can add as many gift cards as you like to your Amazon account, it just adds the new gift card to the amount you already have on Amazon.

    you can enter as many into your amazon account as you want, one thing to be aware of if you enter them into your amazon account and it then gets hacked goodbye credit! (you may get them back if you can prove it's been hacked)

    I started SB a few weeks ago, and just claimed my first £5 Amazon gift card.
    I'm just doing it along with a couple of other survey sites as a way of making a bit of extra cash every month, but don't have a lot of time to devote to it,- just do it when I can.

    I won't be amassing lots of SB, so intend to cash out when I have enough for a £5.00 m&s or Amazon giift card.
    I think it's probably safer as well not to accumulate large amounts in your account.

    Yes the £5 are better value.
    Great stuff thanks.

    I was hoping to redeem a handful of them, but it appears that you can't order more than 1 at a time and can only place 2 orders in any one day. Hope that the offer runs for a few days so I can take full advantage of it!

    Had an email survey but got dsq'd and tried another for 80sb survey on laundry products.
    My last double spin and win answer auto applied.

    Glad the survey credited.

    I always cash out at £5 Amazon (with the extra sale it takes for example watching 1200 more videos to get £5 paypal, or over 500 at the long running sale price).
    Same as all survey type sites if they fold up you get nothing so unless there is a saving to be had with larger amounts take it when you can (£3 Amazon is slightly more expensive per £ so I wait for £5).
    If you keep your Amazon codes (offline in case you get hacked) you can check on the Amazon site that they are valid without needing to add them.
