Swagbucking into 2019... Nearly ;)

The confirm the card step I get almost every card, can't remember at what point, probably when I come back to it the first time to try and get the final couple of pounds ( I leave £3 on so I can tell at a glance whether my £1 has been returned, it'll show either as £2 remaining or the full £3). It is quite painless, literally just entering the card number and pressing enter, that's all they want, odd but easy.

Thanks, yeah I didn't know what the "confirm" thing entailed but I didn't have that with the first Mastercard so I didn't want to take the chance of going through the nuisance of another decline due to the £1.00 fee.

Even if it didn't do that, for some reason it still seems to be causing issues with my Amazon account, waiting hours for the initial decline and/or second attempt once expiry date corrected, having to authenticate my account etc.

May be I should persevere but it just feels overall it's not working well for me on Amazon. I may try it again in the future once the recent frustrations subside lol!

That's the value of the collector bill for the USA today as they messed up the memorial day one for them

We apologize for the issue regarding Monday's Collector's Bill. Today, we have another exclusive bill worth 27 SB celebrating Biscuit Day to make up for it!

American biscuits are small bread rolls, often served at breakfast or as a side dish. However, in the UK, the word “biscuit” is used for flat sweet treats which are known as “cookies” in the US. Click the link below to learn more and for the chance to win!

I may have stumbled on a new way to get a mastercard verified on Amazon! It will be a while before I can try again. Sorry John1963, I didn't enjoy your giftcard solution and wasn't going to keep using it.
Anyway, 15 days ago I added a mastercard to my payment options, somehow I managed to put the year as 2021 not 2020. So payment declined that day, but no £ got deducted. Tried a top-up again today, declined again (twice) but nothing deducted and I realised my error and edited the card in payment options to put it right. Tried again and the top up has been accepted. I do hope this will work next time.

Thank you so much! This is working for me - I am ploughing my way through all my e-Mastercards on Amazon, and finally getting my stray £1 balances paid to me. I had given up on them, and reverted to Amazon cards direct, but now I shall start ordering the e-Mastercards again. Great stuff! :T

I find any search wins through natural search are very hard to come by these days. I normally have to click through from a link in this forum

I'm finding the first search win quite simple as usual a win turns up in around 5 searches, except they've been down at around 5sb for maybe a week, but just got 12 today, 9sb yesterday. Later searches have been more difficult for a lot longer.

The days of being able to get 4 search wins a day and wins of 100 SB have long gone - in 2017 I usually got 3 or 4 wins a day and had 7 wins of 100 SB - unless there are collector bills it is very rare now to see anything above 20 SB or get more than 1 win in a day.
My average from search wins so far this year is 210 a month compared to almost 770 a month in 2017 - traces back to the short term introduction of 3 SB for a win which they quickly ditched when there was quite a fuss about it and they simply tweaked the algorithm that awards wins to make wins smaller and harder to get.

When yous say about searching, do you just search for anything together the sb?

Used as a normal search engine - also instead of saved bookmarks I would use search for this thread, BBC etc unless I had just had a win, also swagbucks would post links which may or may not produce a win but make for an easy search (many in the first post of this thread) - wouldn't do repeated quick searches as that could end up with a temporary block on being able to search.
Trying a normal web search, then clicking for the images letting them load and clicking back to web sometimes produces a win as well (Use "strict" search for images if you don't want risk xxx images appearing)
