    None of my categories are ticked now!

    And when I try to tick them again...they don't stay ticked. Ahhhhhhhhhh

    But you can't take my points away, cos I NEVER GOT ANY!!! ;)
    On checking, I had already received these 20 points for the loan details.

    Just had an email from the advertiser (a finance company) saying they would be phoning. I asked them not to.

    Now Daragh, let's be serious here.

    I think that most of us will have assumed that, when you said there would be six click-throughs each Monday, they would be new ones.

    So the HQ one and the eBookers ones were not new, and therefore we've arguably had four new ones. Although only three worked for me, plus the credit card one.

    I'm not complaining about having had a nice 50 points on these today, plus the 20 points from the quizzes. That's very nice.

    But four is four, not six.

    So what's happened to the Lottery points then? Perhaps it could be that the tracking system didn't work properly for all registrants? Perhaps like some of us suspect happened with the eBay and Lightspeed tracking?

    Please feel free to demolish this idea completely. I don't mean to sound as arrogant as perhaps this post appears to be!

    RIGHT!

    Firstly, it's DarRagh, thank you.

    Secondly, I told you last week we occasionally do 10PP offers midweek, so ARGUABLY you got your extra 10PP offer EARLY... That's ebookers!

    Thirdly, you SHOULD have got 10PP for HQ hair. Now if you're just clicking in and then immediately pressing the back button, then that's probably why...

    Fourthly - Lottery Points. 392 members were credited with PiggyPoints on Friday. I'm just finding out who wasn't on the list and why they weren't credited. This is a technical issue that I hope to be able to follow up on and resolve. That's of course assuming everyone registered through the page on Pigsback.com... Not now Pigsback.co.uk but on Pigsback.com... (not sure if it would make a difference but you never know!)

    Finally - eBay. We're following this up at the moment but can I safely assume that everyone registered and made their FIRST bid with eBay through Pigsback.com? Not were members before, but signed up and made their first bid through us.

    No problem with you being/seeming arrogant droopsnout, but am only trying to help!

    Thanks

    If it's not too late to catch the suggestions bit - Boots isn't so useful because they generate their own points quite fast. I like the idea of HMV vouchers, or would be interested in Arcadia Group vouchers (various clothes shops) or M&S.

    Boots IS useful - I don't really understand yur points about BOOTS points - as you will still get your Boots advantage card points in store when using a gift voucher

    This morning's 10 PPers

    Please note if you have clicked on these already, you wont get them... ebookers was up last week so maybe that's why some of you aren't seeing it?

    Darragh...any news on the outdoor category not selecting and why I only got 3 clickthroughs?

    Also why my categories all de-selected and wouldn't re-select for quite some time...still no outdoor

    Darragh - noone in my family has gotten the points for either the Loans or the credit cards - and we all filled in the details correctly but no points have appeared :(

    3 click throughs

    Argus Car Hire
    Look after yourself
    TGI Fridays 2 for 1

    the Ebookers was on last week as was the HQ hair so they don't count (or at least I don't think they do)

    Took me ages to read through these posts from this morning :)
