Swagbucking into 2019... Nearly ;)

I wasn't going to post on this thread again but have to say it is the simple lack of commonsense as much as anything else that is sad - codes have been posted on both threads for over 4 years without any issues, people who use the main thread can get the codes without needing to go elsewhere and those who want codes without anything else could subscribe to the code thread - how did that cause a problem to anybody?
If someone didn't want to post the code on both threads I am pretty sure someone else would add the missing one so there was no pressure to post twice on anyone (I had been using the main thread for sometime before another post made me aware of the code thread).

Given the importance of the first post for users of the current style forum simply locking the old thread instead of leaving it for a new one to be started in an orderly manner at the beginning of the year seems less than helpful as well.

Thank You. so much.
one question please if I may. I have just received a 10 pound mastercard code. is it possible to put that code into my Amazon account. and if so how? also what is a Mastercard wallet.
I Wish now I had waited to get the extra Swagbucks to get a voucher
Many Thanks in advance

You need to apply it to your Amazon account by topping up your gift card balance having added the new card as a new payment method. No idea what the wallet is.
Couple of points when adding a new payment card to Amazon they verify the card by 'borrowing' £1 from the card balance, so you won't initially be able to pay in the full £10, only £9. They are supposed to return the £1 in 10 working days. Mine just took 26 days total, maybe they're busy!
Amazon changes things so finding the top up your giftcard link can sometimes be a bit of a journey!
Edit: BTW initially you need to follow the links for the Mastercard code to create a virtual mastercard, they offer the option of a real plastic one but it costs £5! It's easier than it sounds.

Thank you to all the thread members who've been so accepting and so helpful.

One thing that's really off-putting about any forum is mods/admins who seem to like to have something to do.

This decision was obviously made by people who aren't regular followers of these threads, so aren't aware of how much it benefits many people to have the choice of thread for the codes. As mjm says, it's about common sense. The vast majority are happy with them in both, so there's no need to change it.

And I totally agree with Molly that mods/admins (whatever you want to call them) being lenient and only acting when absolutely necessary is the best way to ensure an enjoyable forum.
