It's a long thread. Just wondering if someone could quickly tell me the best (lowest cost) way to withdraw my money? I went to a small bank in the U.S today. They have $3.5USD fee for withdrawal. Is it a better deal to exchange back to CAD? Is there any ATM machine that don't have fees?

Honestly I wish gcr still had it I'd go through them because both Swagbucks and drop are unreliable. Swagbucks I think I can still manage to chase and get my points after 32 day wait.

... and Swagbucks has been reliable for MANY people. When things go well, people tend to NOT report about it.

Same Name
Address mix of french and english
Same phone number
Different e-mail

Second cards(about the end ofApril)
Same name
Address in french
Same phone number
Different e-mail
Now, will it work again? I don't know, I'm NOT trying again :-)

I would like too know if anyone else successfully did a double dip with GCR and Swagbucks?
Meaning getting the Promo $40 with GCR and the Promo $50 Swagbucks.
When you say "address in french" -- how is that?

If I live in French area of Winnipeg (where some street signs names say in french as well as in English)... XXXX St Anne's Rd, Winnipeg MB ... postal code (mixture of English letters and numbers) ... --- How would you write specifically "St Anne's Rd, Winnipeg MB ... postal code[/b] (mixture of English letters and numbers)" all in french?

I still want the card to arrive to my mail box and not get lost. :)

Please refresh my memory:

- one can only activate the account after physically receiving the card? ..or can also do so before receiving the card?

-- one can convert and transfer from their wallet...from US to CAN money only after activating the card? ...or one can also do that before activating the card?

-- Don't remember (over a month ago).

Maybe someone who just done it could reply?

you got to activate the account online, after clicking the promo link, otherwise you won't be able to load the initial load($100...)
then you activate the card when you received it by mail, by calling in the number on the cards,they will activate your card.
They asked for the email that you register the account online when you loaded the first ignitial ($100)
your name, address, birth.etc, you know the usual stuff,
after you go online to reveal your PIN.
thats it,
And yes you can convert the us money to cad online after you got your card by mail after it was activated with the phone number on the card.
wait 24-48 hours before getting your us converted money, let it settle in first, otherwise you will get flag and get your card locked out..
you will have to send in photo id, to get your cards unlocked..


it's been discussed 1,000,000,001 time lol

Why did you end up with 89 dollars only? ..vs ending up over 100 dollars or something similar?

Ps...
Not 100% sure now...but I think you withdraw multiple of 20 dollars from atm also.

Example: 20 / 40 / 60 / 80

Then you'd be left with 9 dollars ...vs 89 dollars.

That's because i bought something at the store, last week or was it the week before..
You got to remember guys, even those that are still waiting, "Cibc want to know if we'll used the visa card, before giving the $50" promo ..
That's what GCR told me in one of their e-mail, when the $40. was missing in my GCR account..
Some were lucky and got the $40-$50 in a few days from GCR, Dropbox or Swagbuck.

I got a question for you Darkman: Why so many question since you did it before with Sambucks or was it dropbox promo?
Just for your information, I never used my AC Visa card and still got credited the 5000 swagbucks when I contacted support.
After I got approved I immediately withdrew the money from a CIBC ATM.
