jameel195 Hi there you get points for helping out on the forum and getting best answers also by recruiting people to the network ! The exact recipe is unknown as if it were known everyone and their dog would be getting the maximum every month !
And what I have realised over the years is that it's quality over quantity ! Every time .

Sorry, may not be of much use this but, I'm also struggling trying to cash in my 'payback', also. Don't you think they should at least give us a clue.
Please if you find the answer post it so I can see.. Cheers.
Good hunting..

Just generally helping. Whether that's with 'help and support' section giving advice on technical issues about phones or giffgaff issues, or the 'tips and guides' by sharing offers or guides on how to etc.
The payback you earn is then added to your account each month, usually around the 8th and is available to cash out or donate in June and December.

You won't get one as the exact formula is known only to giffgaff staff and will never be made public to stop people gaming the system.

The only thing I can tell you is that there is a factor based on the ratio of Best Answers to total posts. Kudos (likes) count for little, if anything.

Detailed, comprehensive answers seem to count for a lot more than brief off the cuff comments. E.g. don't just say " contact an agent", but explain why they need to contact the agent, what to ask, give a link to the appropriate agent contact form, explain about agent replies and give the link, explain what will happen next and how long it can take, and give links to relevant guides.

There's only one thing you need to do, which is to go to https://giffgaff.com/profile/payback and make sure you've chosen a payback method -- either account credit or paypal.

giffgaff will then make the payment, towards the end of December -- and again in June, but you'll need to choose a payback method again because it's not remembered between payback seasons.

You won't be able to until around mid December when it's next paid out. In the meantime you should choose how you want to redeem it here https://giffgaff.com/profile/choose-payback-method (for cash payout you need to nominate your PayPal account).

my nephew told me the old system was based on the number of posts you made.. the new system appears to be based on the mating frequency of panders in Dudley coinciding with the aliment of mars and the 3 moons of the moons of Saturn.. oh and it has to be a friday
