Swagbucking into 2017

CC2

I finally got to level 10 on Island Experiment (Trial Pay, was on offer for double SB when I clicked). An entire week that's taken me (evenings and weekends). But I sort of enjoyed it. 320SB credited.

So excited. Signed up a week ago with the MSE referral. I've just had a week of pottering about, but managed to do three surveys tonight. Jumped from 700 to 2674SB!

I'm hoping this will be a bit of extra help for paying off the credit card. £15 for a week's sporadic work isn't too bad!

I've been trying to work out how worth it the gift card sale is [edited to add: if you're wanting to convert to cash], given that it's only really on £5 cards. As far as I can see, using Jaffa pig's eBay self- invoicing method (with hyr6783's estimated received funds of £4.65 on a £5 self-invoice), it works out to be a pretty good deal so I thought I'd set it out here, just in case others haven't had the time or inclination to work it out:

Paypal £25 for 4000 SB or £5 for 800 SB = 160 SB per £
Mastercard £25 (you receive £23.95) for 3600 SB = 150 SB per £

Usually a Mastercard £5 (you receive £4.65 - estimated as I haven't actually done it for a £5 card yet) is 720 SB = 155 SB per £
Mastercard £5 for the sale price of 620 SB when you receive £4.65 = 133 SB per £

Worth the faff if you can be bothered...

Yes it's worth doing at the moment if you want paypal/cash over amazon vouchers. A £5 mastercard gets you £4.63 (it's actually 3.4% + 20p paypal fees). So 620SB = £4.63. If redeeming the £5 paypal for 800sb, 620sb would be equivalent to £3.87 (5.00 / 800 x 620), so you get an extra 76p for those 620 SB.

Last time I noticed an option to allow partial payments when creating a paypal invoice, so will try that next time. If I create a £10 invoice and allow partial payments, hoping that allows me to use 2 x £5 matercards to pay it, if it works it should give you an extra 20p, if that makes sense!

Sorry to ask, I've tried searching, but what is this self invoicing method? Thank you

In paypal you select the option to send an invoice to someone, input a different email address that you own and pay that invoice with a mastercard prepaid card.

Fab! That will cut out some of the faff and more importantly, the money lost to PP fees!

The two surveys that appear for me on Peanut Labs every morning have been reduced to 31 SB. Ridiculous.

I noticed that too. The petty skimming continues.

I didn't spot the option for partial payments! Be sure to let us know if it works, even if just saves 20p a time, that soon adds up! :T

Instant for 19SB on banks.
