    Apart from paypal if you exchange that way it's actually the most expensive £50 voucher you can get as you are paying the equivalent of over 6700 SB for £50 while all the others are 6500
    What other ways are there of getting cash?

    That was just comparing the value of redeeming that way to all the other £50 vouchers apart from paypal but simply spending a Mastercard on bills you would pay anyway would effectively get the full value

    I usually use my SB to exchange for £50 MasterCard and then via PayPal invoice myself to get £48.25. I have been doing this for over a year without any issues. However, this is no longer acceptable as apparently in the conditions you cannot use MasterCard for any PayPal transaction. Just giving the heads up for anyone else who has done this in the past.🙁

    Have just sent my wife money in PayPal from 2 prepaid mastercards earned from SB as I always have done with no issues.
    Yeah i do the same no issues and get the full amount

    Hope that it continues for you, but it didn’t for me.🙁 when I emailed I got this response 

    “ Hi, and thanks for getting in touch with us about your PayPal transaction.
     

    We’ve reviewed your card activity and due to the Terms and Conditions, see that your card cannot be used for PayPal transactions or though vendors who use PayPal as a payment processor.


    However, we want you to enjoy your card, and you can use it at almost any other type of merchant by entering the card as you would any other personal credit or debit card.


    If you have any other questions about where you can use your card, reply to this email, and we’ll be happy to help!


    Take care,
    Customer Support”

  • I tried quoting the above post but it is so unwieldy that I gave up.
    My question - to which organisation does "Customer Support" belong?
  • Just answered Instant Survey for 5 SB - did I watch TV last night and some profile questions.

    if you know of any other way around this I would be grateful. I am going to try again from a different pc and different IP address as it doesn’t seem to happen to everyone. Fingers crossed!

    Sorry, I didn't mention in my reply I cash out at £10. So I'm only using 1300 SB. 

    It looks to me like this is the T&Cs for prep@id solutions, I assume there must be some charge to them from P@ypal which might explain why they're no longer allowing it. 

    It's a pity as it was the easiest way of getting cash for me.

    You get a new virtual MasterCard each time right?
    I add each card to my paypal and then send it to my wife who sends it back to me meaning I get the full amount.

    As long as you get the full value then Mastercards are the best value of all the £10 cards and at least as good as any of the £50 ones but not if you have to pay fees ( £50 less fees = 48.25 for 6500 SB which works out to a rate of 6735 SB for £50)
  • I  have had this pop up appear  since yesterday on Gold surveys page.Looks like a new way to contact support for non paying/unfair disqualifications of surveys. I completed 2 & the others I tried  were instant disqualified so not needed to use it yet.
