Unless Argos start selling good 1oz coins at a reasonable premium [emoji1]

Multiple vouchers can be stacked at ebay I think?

Ended up I couldn't wait so used points cost £70 for a 1/10 and 1/20 gold 2013 pandas equivalent to £466/oz

Just got an email, if you fill up with petrol at any Sainsbury's between 10th April to 10th May, you get 10 (ten) points per litre. Could be worth a silver coin or two if anyone does plenty of commuting

Does anybody collect Swagbucks?

I have am waiting on receiving my first £5 paypal voucher and I am on my way to getting my second.

Hopefully with collecting Nectar points,my cash back credit card and Swagbucks I should be able to buy some cheap bullion.

Swagbucks might not be for everyone as it can be time consuming for meagre rewards but it is something you can do while surfing the net.

I haven't got on that well with swag bucks. Got up to £10 tried to cash them with PayPal and no luck. Haven't bothered since. On opinion outpost and they pay direct into PayPal account

[FriedrichVonHayek]

I have just started collecting them last week.

I think the money takes around 10 days to reach my paypal account.

[FriedrichVonHayek]

I am going to set myself a challenge of buying 500oz of Silver under spot by using Swagbucks,Nectar points and credit card cashback.

The majority will be bought from Silver-to-go but I hope to average 2-3 free ounces per month buying off eBay using my paypal gift cards off swagbucks and using my nectar points.

For every 20oz I buy from Silver-to-go I will need to get 5-6 free ounces off eBay which I think is quite possible.

[sovereignsteve]

never actually looked at these ways of collecting points and prizes, I guess Nectar is the one to use?

[FriedrichVonHayek]

I think that anyone who has a high cost per ounce should have a look at the Nectar/Swagbucks route as a couple of free ounces per month is very achievable.

Collecting Swagbucks can be laborious but combined with Nectar points it can be effective.

Also anyone starting to collect swagbucks make sure you use the same email address as the one you use for your paypal account so they can pay the money into your paypal.

My £5 paypal gift card came through from Swagbucks this evening.

I have just bought a Maple on eBay for £17.49 minus £7.5 in Nectar vouchers and a £5 paypal gift card.

So in total it has cost me £4.99 for the Maple.

This is the first time I have ever signed up to a points scheme so I don't know if Swagbucks is good or bad as I have nothing to compare it to.

It seems to have a strong following amongst people on the moneysavingsexpert site so it probably isn't that bad.

[watchesandwhisky]

Swagbucks isnt a bad site as such, its just more style than substance, offers pay less "points" and prizes cost more - So it takes longer to get anywhere. Points2shop is much better, you can set it to pay in dollars and then for surveys you get paid in cash that is instantly withdrawable (for a 10 cent fee if under 10 dollars) also the referral program is bad with limited earnings, p2s is better with unlimited.

 

Swagbucks best bit is the toolbar that can pay points for searches, that's the only decent thing,swagbucks tv can also be watched whilst doing other things but alot of hassle for little reward. the rest is underpaid compared to others. (unless they have upped their pay but i doubt it) 

 

Both sites usually have the exact same offers, so its worth checking the difference in pay..here is some screengrabs I just got to show you what I mean. As you can see on swagbucks you are sometimes getting as much as half the points, This is swagbucks being greedy taking a bigger commision.

Thank you I will have a look at this site also,and I will use your referral code if I sign up.

I think if you can have multiple streams of income there is a good chance of making £30 plus per month to subsidise any Silver purchases.

Nectar keeps telling me that my password is wrong today.

Last time I made a note so I wouldn't forget it so I'm fairly sure it's correct.

If anyone has a go, please confirm or deny.

The app won't log me in either, probably just a temporary glitch.

I had an offer for (maybe) 1000 extra points for just selling something this weekend.

The highs and lows of ebay consist of enjoying watch people buy your worthless tat to then be overcome with dread at the thought of packing it all up, going to the post office and telling them what is in every parcel and 'no, I don't want a credit card or life insurance'.

Luckily, the one I'm passing tomorrow has a self service machine.

Topic moved from 'Silver' to 'General Precious Metals' as this topic relates to both Gold & Silver.

A little while ago I used some nectar points converted to an ebay voucher.  For some reason the payment status read as 'pending' as I was to see that my Echeque was waiting to clear.  Echeque! I proclaimed.

I didn't understand why I had to wait for my funds to transfer from my bank account to my paypal before the seller would receive the funds.  I doesn't happen on other purchases.  The only thing I could think of was that it was a foreign order.

Now it's happened again with a nectar/ebay voucher but with a UK seller and I have to wait 7-9 days whilst it's pending.

What the Johnny Bojangles is this about?  Is the lesson that if you use a nectar/ebay voucher then you should fund the payment with a credit card through paypal?

 

[MCJ]

This isn't going to help much, but I used a nectar points to Ebay voucher last night, UK seller, £121 price, and it went through as normal. Perhaps yours was a larger amount?

[HelpingHands]

No it wasn't.  Did you already have funds in your PayPal?

[MCJ]

No, PayPal account was zero. 

[HelpingHands]

The mystery continues.
