    For those of you that needed to verify their account to redeem the £5 Mastercard might like to know that I have just redeemed another one with no problems. 

    As a precaution, and since my identity had been recently verified, I did set up a My Digital Wallet account, but I don't think this was necessary to actually redeem the voucher.
    Thanks to all those that post.

    Thanks for that pebblebeach8! To set up an account do I just enter the Mastercard details in the log in box on My Digital Wallet?

    I clicked on the link in the Swagbucks email and the details of the card came up in a new tab and a box with "secure payment" appears, if you click on that you get the options of either adding to a new digital wallet  or an existing one.  If you click new digital wallet it prompts you to put a username and password in.  According to a post I saw by Tolteca87 the other day you can do this before or after spending the card.

    Thanks for your speedy reply! I switched from Amazon cards to Mastercards a couple of months ago and have been trying to work out how to create a digital wallet ever since. I've not had any problems redeeming the cards but would feel more secure if I had an actual account. Thanks for your help and to everyone else that posts here!

    You are welcome.  I also switched to Mastercard as they are better value, but would never have known about it without the people on this thread.

    It has been set out several times in this topic so far this year, but a good detailed post is from Squiggles at https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/78018947#Comment_78018947.
