Payback points.

kezzie290966

I have activated 2 giffgaff SIMs recently, one for my brother and one for a friend. My brother forgot to put my number in at his activation stage, so how do I get the 200 payback points please, can he do it now or is it too late? Also, how do I get the 500 payback points I'm owed from each of the new SIM activations please?
Regards.
Kezzie.

kezzie290966 It is too late to get the 200 points from the member that forgot to enter your details at activation. It's always best to give new members a SIM that was ordered through your affiliate link as that guarantees you the payback.

As for the other SIM activations, giffgaff will apply 500 payback points to your account around the 5th of the following month after the activations (sometimes they delay applying the points, so don't worry if they are not applied to your account on the 5th). Payback is earned throughout the year for helping in the forums and recruiting new members, but it is only paid out twice a year, in June and December of each year. If you have not already done so, choose how you want to receive your payback at https://giffgaff.com/profile/payback . You can receive the payback as cash via PayPal if over 1000 points, donate to charity, or as airtime credit.

Hiya wreedie, both SIMs came from packs I'd ordered that are sent to my name and address, so I'm presuming the 1000 payback will go on automatically yeah? My brother Jason's was activated on 24th November with a 20 quid voucher and my friend Sid activated his on 30th November with 10 quid thru my debit card. I will only get 1 lot of the 200 payback points and that's all good. I still can't see any payback points showing up in my account so am a bit worried. I'll be a bit more patient and see how it goes. Thank you so much for your help. Much appreciated.

Thanks for your help. Do my payback points not go on automatically coz I gave 2 SIM cards away? The link you gave me still says I have 0 payback points. What is the point of having my name on the leaflet with the 3 SIMs I ordered if they don't register that they're from me when activated?? How do I retrieve the 1000 points I've earned please? I feel a bit cheated.
Kezzie.

kezzie290966 It will take time for points to upload depending when they activated sim. If they activated in November your payback points will be including in November payback calculations which will be given early December.

Remember there is also certain criteria to get the points, one of them being that the new SIM cards need to be activated with a minimum top up of £10.....did they do this?

You should see 1000 Payback points (£10 worth) on your Dashboard page soon, possibly even tomorrow (Friday the 6th of December). You will then need to choose how you want to receive your Payout, in time for the Payout, which is expected to start on the 16th of December. If you don't make your Payback selection in time, your Payback points will roll over until the next payout in June 2020, but if you still don't make the selection, they won't rollover again, they'll be lost.

You can choose to donate them to charity (matched by giffgaff), added to the airtime credit on your account, or paid as cash to your PayPal account.
