    It's worth considering though, that some retailers may only let you use so many voucher codes in one transaction - PC World, for example, only accepts up to 5 vouchers per transaction, apparently, so I'm cashing out at £50 rather than my usual £25.

    This is true of Debenhams also, they only accept a maximum of three payments per order, which means if you don't have enough in gift cards to cover the cost of your purchase then your debit card is one payment type, and you could only use a maximum of two gift cards.

    Parksandrec,
    The £5 paypal is 800SB and the Mastercard is 700SB
    Someone else wrote about it before but I can't remember who to thank.

    When you use the mastercard it deducts so it's roughly £4.63 you get.

    In paypal you go to 'send & request', then 'create invoice', send it to an email address you have that isn't associated to your paypal account.

    When the email arrives at the email address requesting payment follow the link, go for the non paypal payment option, input the online mastercard details that you get from swagbucks as the payment method, your contact details with the email address you sent the request to, & pay it. & say 'no thanks' when it gives you the option to set up a paypal account for that email address.

    Then login to paypal and withdraw funds as you usually would.

    It is a bit of a fuss but once you've done them a couple of times it's not so bad. If there is not a sale on then I usually get £25 but at the moment it's cheaper to get two mastercard five pounds than one ten pound one.

    I hope that makes some sense, if not am sure others (who don't rabbit on like me) can explain better.

    For Debenhams, if you go in store they will combine them onto one card. Obviously, having to go there and interact with someone puts me off :rotfl:but it is a handy way around the limit.

    I've been using the Mastercard's in paying my electricity bill. There's no deduction. £5 off the card in payments reduces the bill by the full £5.

    God almighty, I know I want to tick off the box on Swago but i`m not spending 32 minutes of my life on a survey that will probably not reward me for time or the little effort I put into it.

    EngageMeTV works for me, although the swagbucks counter doesn't move the ad counter does (1-6) and it credits after the sixth one has played

    (the 6th ad didn't register 11/10 but the 7th one did)
