just seen this on Martin Lewis site, link here
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/swagbucks?
never heard of it myself but if on Martin Lewis would guess its genuine. its with swagbucks if your going to spend £25 anyway on something over a variety of retailers then if you claim through the link you get lots of bonus points which you can have as PayPal cash or voucher. the link explains how to claim and how to boost it £12 but I'll just copy and paste here

Swagbucks pays you points (called SB) when you click through and spend at around 500 selected retailers, including M&S, Argos, Homebase and Debenhams. The points can then be cashed in for gift cards, PayPal credit or other rewards.
Usually you only get a few points for spending via Swagbucks, but newbies to its Shop & Earn cashback offers who go via this MSE Blagged Swagbucks* link by Tue 19 Jul will get 2,040 bonus points if you click through to a retailer and spend £25 or more (as well as the normal points for your spend).
That gets you at least £10 in vouchers or PayPal cash. But we've blagged a trick to get you up to £12, if you go for the Amazon gift cards (more on that below).
You should only use this deal if you were planning to spend at one of the 500 retailers anyway, it's not an excuse to overspend. It's worth noting it can take up to 32 days for your voucher to be available to claim, so you can't use it on your £25 spend.
Warning: Don't enter any additional promotional codes when you make a purchase via Shop & Earn, as this will invalidate the MSE bonus offer.
How do I get the £10 voucher or cash?
Once your points have been awarded (it takes up to 32 days), visit the 'rewards store' to choose which gift card you want - Amazon, M&S, Argos, John Lewis, iTunes and more. It will arrive within 10 working days, either by post or email in the case of voucher codes. You can also convert your earnings into PayPal cash but it costs more points (1,689 = £10 Amazon, 1,989 = £10 PayPal).
How do I boost it to £12?
You can usually only redeem £3, £5 and £10 gift cards. However we've blagged a £1 Amazon option for users who earn this bonus, so you could redeem a free £12 Amazon voucher without having to earn any extra points, by getting a £10 and two £1 vouchers.
What counts as a newbie?
To qualify for the offer, you can be an existing Swagbucks user, as long as you haven't used its Shop & Earn cashback offers before. If you're not sure, visit your account (top-right corner), and check for any transactions in 'My Shop & Earn'.

Giftcloud are one of the 500 merchants - which sell amazon Gift Cards
So you could buy a £25 Amazon voucher through Giftcloud via Swagbucks and get the further £12 of Amazon vouchers from the promo - works out at a 32% discount

Genuinely wouldn't go near swagbucks if i was given £100 cash directly into my hand. Endless spam and advertising emails from a multitude of different companies both here and from the US. Some days up to 6 -10 emails!! And i know it was them, as i used a one off email address i set up just for their site. Their sign up incentive is great in theory, and then when you do the surveys and stuff they ask you pretty much all the questions before saying you're not suitable etc and pay you 5p. Don't waste your time for £12!

So they have now been credited! Hooray. I was sceptical of this one but I suggest a quick email will get you the same result.

It doesn't work no matter what card I use on the giftcloud site. Very annoying and I'll be sure to keep an eye on the cards for suspicious activity.

I googled and there as an offer from them on here before and several people appeared to have the same problem. It's not good enough really is it. I've been entering different card numbers and all of my details time and time again. I've dropped them a message but if there service is anything to go by i'm not hopeful.
