    Can you remind me when the MSE extra points are due to be paid? Thanks

    The confirmation email I had from SB says:

    Thanks for activating our special 'DOUBLE SB' promotion! You doubled your SB on every SB point* you earned between 8:00am BST on 4 July and 7:59am BST 11 July.*

    Any double payout bonus points you earned will be awarded by 20 August 2017 to allow time for your Shop & Earn purchases made before 7:59am BST 11 July to credit to your account.
    * Earnings are points (SB) earned from activities like taking surveys, watching videos, search wins or cashback shopping. Please note that Swag codes, Special promotions SB, Bonus SB awards, Swagstakes wins and other promotional events will not be doubled

    Might just be a glitch as I can go through to the other value Amazon GC and a £10 one only works out 20 sb more expensive per £5 - I wouldn't be surprised though if it ended before the MSE extra points were paid.

    Back in early July when the MSE points offer was posted, MSE said:

    £5 (700 SB) and £10 gift cards (1,360 SB-1,440 SB) are currently on sale until Tue 18 Jul, after which they may revert to their normal price of 849 SB and 1,700 SB respectively (though Swagbucks couldn’t confirm)

    so its lasted 3 weeks longer than I expected from that info.

    Based on their previous levels of accuracy about it I take MSE comments on sale end-dates with a pinch of salt unless they are verified by swagbucks.

    I ordered a Mastercard gift card through Swagbucks over two weeks ago. I had an email two days ago saying it was ready, just signed in and it says it's still processing and to check back in 24 hours.

    It's honestly irritating now. Swagbucks are doing their best to make their platform difficult to use. I have another £15 worth of tokens to cash out and it makes me weary just thinking about it.

    I'm still waiting for my PayPal £25 that I ordered on the 18th. Had a response to my ticket on Friday which said it would arrive "within a few business days" :mad:

    I'm playing a risky game, I'm going to start claiming Currys vouchers to put towards a new laptop but apparently they only accept 5 gift cards per purchase so I'm going to have to try to redeem higher value vouchers -_- Hope this doesn't backfire...

    Make £2020 in 2020 - £263.78/£2020

    I've found that usually the Paypal orders come through pretty quickly.

    Good luck with your Currys vouchers! I am too paranoid to let any big amounts build up!

    Yeah, this is the first time I've had an issue with redeeming points :(

    Thanks! I know, everyone always says don't wait to cash out :o

    Sign up and 'show some activity' - You only have to give a username and date of birth to sign up, but I added an email, confirmed the verification email and that seemed to be enough activity for it to credit. :)

    Can't seem to buy a £5 Amazon voucher, all others work.

    Can someone else please see if it works for them?!
