Swagbucking into 2017

At the end of the day, it is what works for each person and how they want to cash out their bucks for their own reasons.
Not all methods are going to suit all members.

It would be better if Swagbucks put the price for £5 to be the same, no matter which reward option you chose.

Yep, people have their own reasons.

Ive spent a ton on Amazon using vouchers. But most things I buy on the site are discretionary. So I could really live without them- including the new bed I bought recently.

Whereas if you have a council tax bill to pay, it's not discretionary. You can't delay, you gotta pay!

If you DO prefer cash, instagc is the opposite -it pays more if you cash out using Paypal than Amazon.

Cashouts on instagc are almost instant, I don't think there's any minimum payout level, the website is more stable than SB, videos run almost without interaction, you can chat live to staff if you have a problem and its currently paying me far more than Swagbucks.

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.

Just wondering how you can pay the mastercard to your paypal account. I have a virtual mastercard from another survey site but can't work out how to get it into my paypal account. I added the card to my account but it won't take it off the mastercard until my paypal balance is zero and then it would take the money from my bank account first?!

First, you'll need a second email address that's not associated with your Paypal account.

Then go to your Paypal account and go to "send and request", and then to "create invoice".

Create the invoice for the value of the Mastercard(s) and give your second email address as the address you want to send it to. [If you have more than one Mastercard, remember to tick the box near the bottom left allowing partial payments].

When the email arrives at the second email address requesting payment, click on the link.

Choose the non-Paypal payment option, fill in the Mastercard details that you get from Swagbucks or wherever as the payment method, and pay it.

Click "no thanks" when it offers you the chance to set up a Paypal account for the second email address.

When you log back into your Paypal account your funds, minus the Paypal fees, will be there. Then you can withdraw in the normal way.

Ah, I see. You are talking about building up the SB purely through videos. I'm more a survey man. For videos, you do have a point but that's not how I use SB primarily.

Enter markslove in the code box before 9.15pm for 3 SB

Theres a 2 minute survey for about 60sb I think, it wants you to click a link and browse the website.

Read the website name because the next question they ask what website did you visit.

And no I didn`t qualify

Thanks, this sounds simple enough. First time didn't work but second time it did. Only paid £1.05 in fees, much better than the £5 they wanted to charge me to send a physical card!!

Thank you so much xx

Good news.

The fees are 20p per card, plus 3.4% of the card's total value.

So you get, e.g., £23.95 for a £25 card; £9.46 for a £10 card; and £4.63 for a £5 card.
