I didn't know, it said they would be holding bank details so that's what I was querying. So if I ask for the cheque they will just send that and not want my details

Correct, just reply and say you'd rather wait on a cheque. My last one only took about ten days.

Just type CHEQUE and hit reply.
Mine usually arrives before the end of the month.

Used to get the cheque but since lockdown getting the virtual card.It's quick and easy to get to my pay Pal account(through a friend on PP as we all know).I'm using Pay Pal more since all these lockdowns kicked in so it suits me now.But will go back to the auld cheque once all this Covid 19 trouble is over.

I rarely use PayPal and I'm of an age where I don't know any friends or family who use it, so I just wait on the cheque.

I've just gotten the email from Red C for my first reward. I would prefer to wait for the cheque but it says . This is the quickest way for us to get you rewards at this time, without also set up security and ask for and have to hold your bank details. What does this mean do I need to give them bank details. I would of thought if I want a cheque and then they send it to me and I just lodge it to my account. What security do they mean and what details will I have to give. Thanks

No I never heard of that before, i would be wary, tell them to give you a virtual visa instead or wait for cheques

I got a message from them yesterday about my €50 reward. I applied for the cheque instead. I prefer the flexibility of money in the bank!

If that's what suits you,it's your money.

So you didn't get the double pay out for Dec.Ah so,you have a great chance of another pay out this month.But a pay out two months in a row is not bad at all.

Is a 90 minute for €4 asking too much?

I wonder should the survey sites do away with amazon uk vouchers now and maybe offer us amazon france/spain/germany vouchers instead. it would make more sense.

Some things are cheaper now after brexit the prices really vary
Anything €22 comes without the U.K. vat and it’s below the EU vat rate for example, there’s a thread in bargain alerts all about it

Maybe add the others but Amazon UK is still of enormous value to me. If the Amazon UK went I'd probably drop the surveys.

dpd wont even deliver from the uk at the moment? a lot of amazon sales get delivered by dpd. you loose the consumer protection now if you buy from the uk. also we have more in common now with EU countries so I think vouchers shouldnt be co.uk vouchers.

Amazon are using an post and their own couriers for deliveries here and shipping themselves in bulk
I haven’t had dpd deliver an amazon package to me when I’ve had it shipped direct
Amazon customer service is second to none so if there’s an issue it will be resolved in my experience


All that being said I don’t collect amazon vouchers on any sites but I can’t see them changing anytime soon

I've never had an Amazon delivery in over 22 years by anybody but An Post for a start.

Secondly, I buy a lot of books that aren't available from other Amazon locations. Same with parts I get a few times a year.

And, delivery charges from .DE and others are often horrendous.

At present the only additional cost for most items is Irish VAT instead of UK VAT, which is a percent difference. Items under €22 right now are free of all VAT.

What Amazon need to do is make your gift voucher balance available across all their sites.

And if need be I have a daughter living in NI only 20 minutes drive away.

I agree with the bold part.

DPD deliver a huge amount of the items I buy on amazon.

We’re you using the parcel wizard service because Amazon’s delivery partner in Ireland is an post or their own couriers

L1011

Amazon use other options including Fastway from time to time. Plenty of Amazon related threads in Online Buying to go through all of this on

Pay in gbp and add your Irish address to your amazon account, anything under €22 will be vat free but don’t buy multiple items as that will push the total value up
