    Trying to get back into SB and have almost done enough on the swago to be able to submit for the 50SB (I rarely bother with the referral boxes).
    I've still to colour the redeem your SB for a gift card box, which is why I thought to ask here. I have enough SB to get a gift card, so that's not an issue.

    Normally I've just opted for amazon vouchers, but I noticed that just now both Mastercard and Zeek seem to be a bit better value than going for an amazon voucher (was looking at the £10 cards - 1300 for Mastercard or Zeek, compared to 1440 for amazon).
    However I've no idea how to go about using either Mastercard or Zeek, so hope that someone can advise so that I can decide which is the best option for me.

    Thanks in advance. :)

    Oh hello stranger!!:D

    I would recommend waiting until you have used the 100 spin and wins due later in the week before redeeming in case you win a big swagup from that.


    What 100 spins due later in the week? Have I missed something?
    Make £520 a year in 2020 so far (£0 cash £0 AGC)

    (2019,£481.69) (2018, no idea!) ( 2017 £673.20) (2016 £800.97) (2015 £791.42/$312)

    Yes. See silverfairy's post above about the spin and win problems. Should show up late on Friday.

    Hi KM :wave: How are you?
    Was going to reply to you here, but instead have decided to reply on the neobux thread rather than cluttering here. :)

    Good advice, though I had already managed to click some spin and wins and one of those I got was a 80SB rebate if I ordered a gift card over a certain number of SB (think it was 1000), so have decided to try out Zeek first and did get awarded the 80SB for ordering a gift card. Only had until the 27th January to use the 80SB rebate for ordering a gift card.
    I'm currently at 975SB, so hopefully should mange to reach 1300 (and have enough to order another gift card) in a few days if I'm lucky enough to get any more swagups.

    Use the MasterCard and add the card to your PayPal account. Send the amount on that card to friend or family and then ask them to send you the same amount but NOT refund it.

    I predict my 100 spins will earn me 82 entries to the sweepstakes and 18 rejoin to SwagIQ

    :rotfl:

    What is this rejoin to SwagIQ thing anyway? I won some of them on the spin and win, but had no idea what they were.

    And of course I just ignore entries to sweepstakes - those are going nowhere.

    Thanks for the info. I think I understand what you're saying about how to use if I want to add to amazon. Guess I can always try it out and see if it works how I think from what you've described.


    Once you've got the Mastercard in your digital wallet, go to Gift Cards and Top Up in Amazon. Select Top Up Your Account, and where it says £Enter An Amount, enter 9.00, and then Add a Card from the bottom. It is important to make sure that the yellow button farther down the page has changed to Top Up £9.00 rather than its default of Top Up £100 before you go any further, otherwise the card gets rejected as Insufficient Funds, and you can't re-use it immediately. Click on that Top Up £9.00 button and you should be OK.


    Your digital wallet should show that there is nothing left on the card. In a week or two, £1 will reappear on it, so go through the same procedure as above, without the Add a Card bit, just selecting the card and ensuring that the yellow button has updated itself to £1.00 from £100. It's fiddly, but it's worth it.

    There’s an app where they have live quiz’s every few days, normally at 1am because they are from the states. If you get a question wrong you can rejoin.
