    Don't think that'll work because they need the value, expiration date and forwarding an original senders email with gift card or the link to claim.

    I sent Cardyard an email asking about this before sending them any Amazon codes.
    I send them a screen shot of the code and I make sure it has the date and time on it.

    Sent them one card to test it out and then sent them another 3 codes on monday. Been paid for all of them so far.

    Apart from the time it takes, you have paid them £2.72 to turn £20 Amazon into £17.28 cash - just use the Amazon vouchers at Amazon - at some stage individual items are as cheap (or cheaper) as elsewhere and even if they were 15 % more expensive that still represent better value than turning the vouchers into cash.

    Or just using the Mastercard's for bills that would otherwise use cash from your bank account.

    That's the least worst if you need the cash but you still pay nearly 13% more for £5 Mastercard than you do for Amazon or M&S (the £10 cards are even worse at over 16% more expensive but still much better than Paypal which cost 29% more).

    To get £5 PayPal is 800SB. Instead, to get a virtual Mastercard is 700SB. Paying it to yourself from another email account using PayPal means that you end up with £4.63. The difference between £5/800 vs £4.63/700 is negligible. So the conclusion for me is that it makes sense to do the latter as it obviously takes less effort to gather 700SB than 800SB and you'll end up with more transactions quicker.

    It already takes playing 800 extra toolbartv videos to earn £5 Mastercard instead of Amazon or M&S giftcards, cutting that return to £4.63 effectively means playing about 900 extra videos to get the same reward.
    Even with Watch which pays slightly less badly it would still take playing over 500 extra videos to get the same reward.
