    How do people find is best to redeem their SB's to maximise earnings?


    As a keen gamer I have been using 500SB to get a $5 Steam Gift Card. When entered on Steam the $5 is converted to £3.80.


    This means for Steam I am getting 76p per 100SB.
    Paypal is 800SB for £5 which is 62.5p per 100SB.


    Right now you can get £5 on Amazon for 620SB which is 80.5p per 100SB, although I am not sure the Amazon card is always 620SB.


    Just curious how everyone else makes the most from their efforts? The Paypal option seems to be the worst value.

    I tend to do Debenhams as I will always shop there but now the Amazon voucher deal is on I am doing that as it is better value. Annoyingly, I do actually want some Steam giftcards to give as Christmas presents but I will wait until the Amazon giftcard sale has finished before claiming any of those.

    Right, I've just read through those "acknowledgements" properly - and I'm writing this off to experience, frankly. This is the important paragraph, and there's a lot of it:

    "Where you were presented with the survey: (Email, Swagbucks Inbox, Homepage, Gold Surveys, Partner surveys, etc.):
    Survey ID
    Survey SB Amount
    Date of Survey
    URL of the survey (If you have it available)

    By providing this information upfront in your ticket to us, we will be able to offer you faster resolution. We do suggest writing down the Survey ID before clicking into the survey for reference if an issue occurs."

    Do you mind if I ask how this works please?
    One of my kids wants steam credit and I saw it available in SB but assumed it wouldn't be any good as it's in $ (didn't want to waste money trying)
    Can you add credit to a U.K. steam account in $ then?
    I'm not very clued up on how the whole thing works (he's been topping up using prepaid master cards instead)
    TIA for any advice :)

    Nor for me, but there are a few of us with the same problem.

    I've tried Chrome and Firefox browser, but it doesn't work.

    They may sort something out soon.

    You can use it fine, it just converts the $5 into pounds at the current exchange rate. When the pound tanked after the Brexit vote I got around £4.10 for the $5!
