justin2877 not every member gets payback
the more who post.the less payback you would get

justin2877 Hi are you unhappy with the amount of payback or do you think at 33 pence a post is to much. Alan

justin2877 less than .5% post on the forum and its cheaper than a call centre.

justin2877 it varies from time to time, no one knows how it works

giffgaff doesn't spend money on call centres ect, so can afford to payback it's members that are active around the community. They are a very profitable business, and have successfully done things differently since day one.

Payback is calculated by black magic.🤔

For the last months payback personally I was surprised by the amount I received. I always find payback reasonable.

justin2877 I'm not sure but I think they've capped it now but at one point you could earn quite a lot. The most I've earned in 6 months is around £150.00 in 6 months. Some say there's a formula but I've not worked it out yet . Keep going you could accumulate a few quid for Xmas. Good look. Alan

mrjeeves

alantony1 The most I've ever earned in a month was £145. I got £100 from Help and Support and they added an extra £45 on top for me helping them out with things.

There isn't a literal cap as far as I know, but from just doing Help & Support alone, you can get max. £100 p/mth.

I know that giffgaff are actually going to be having a shake up of the payback process soon. It was talked about a while back and more recently a questionnaire went out (via email) about payback. So I think it is due a change (normally in these types of changes it is actually reduced).... So watch this space. 😁📱🤔🤔

So the 2 times they've changed payback since 2013 (when I joined), they changed something and I ended up getting less each time. So maybe this payback sustainability issue is real and they have to change it every so often.
Maybe this time it'll be different.. Not convinced the change will make payback more generous though. 🤷🏽‍♂️

justin2877 hey I thought that too when I 1st came over to giffgaff last year I couldn't understand how they could afford it & thought there must be a catch but no they're just amazing 👍😀 thts why I'm always telling ppl abt them & how great this network really is I mean even just the app & the fact tht we get 2 talk 2 other ppl real ppl who don't work for the company just like us - thts how confident they are abt how amazing & unique they are - they actually let us all interact lol but yeah they appreciate us all helping each other so tht they dnt have 2 pay ppl 2 answer fones so hey jst enjoy it 😀👍

justin2877 Hi don't know if your happy or not ! But any amount of free money can only make you happy !
I'm ecstatic over my payback amount thanks again giffgaff! I luv helping people
There's no set rules for the calculation of payback as far as I know ( I could be wrong ) but that doesn't happen to often lol !

I wonder if members who just keep repeating the same answer to a question don't get payback credit for that answer. I would hope so.

There's a few of them in Labs. 🙄

justin2877 You've only made 19 post on which you got £6 which is more than expected.

The part that is unsustainable is rewarding people who post very low quality content with payback.
