I'm sure that pigsback have just been a little overwhelmed by the popularity of the Boots vouchers, and that's why it's taking a little time.
Have faith guys, I'm sure they'll arrive..... sometime.....

They must be a little bit on the slow side to not think how popular the boots vouchers would be with Christmas coming. They knew that the L2S vouchers where popular.

Did I not say something along that lines in my post. "If they have run out then fine just let me know and refund my points."

But we had this messing about with the L2S vouchers. I was lucky and did not have to wait as long as others.

But an e-mail or even a message up on the PB website just to say "Sorry we are over loaded at the moment. We will post out to you ASAP" Would not hurt and would keep people informed of what was going on. And if they have run out why where still showing as reward option last night?

People who where thinking about joining are only going to be put off by reading comments that they are slow in sending vouchers out. But if someone said to me they are bit slow sometimes but they always keep my informed then I would go Ok sounds like they are good. And would go ahead and join.


Yours

I am dancing around the office with joy. Pigsback have just added £20 and £50 CD-Wow vouchers to the site.

Had actually ordered an £8.75 voucher....but a quick call and it was all cancelled...so in a few days I should be the proud owner of a £20 voucher. Not got many points left now....but its perfect for my needs.

P.S. Thanks for the help Darragh (if you're listening), most appreciated.

It's good that they've been added..... but how can they justify the £4.30 on top of the value of the voucher?? They don't have to post it, and surely they get discount buying the vouchers in bulk!? How are these figures calculated? Boots vouchers only have a 15% markup on face value, and they are posted!
Sorry to sound so negative, I like the site but that seems like a rip off...

I hear what you're saying, but from my point of view I'm getting £20 for free. So for a few clicks every day they are giving me a voucher.

I put 500 piggypoints on Carol Thatcher to win I'm a Celeb which she did (thanks Thatch!), and I've already been credited with the points. Bit disappointed however, as I staked 500 points and only got 721 back, when I placed the bet it estimated the winnings to be over 1100.

Their Jackpots are fun, but there's no incentive to place early bets. Another example is the one for the Christmas No 1 - why bet now when it's more likely there'll be some clear contenders much nearer the time.

Be gratedul you didn't lose out, some people have staked points on a winner and come out worse off as they take an admin % off too!!!

Yeah, I know, sorry if my post sounded overly negative. I just don't understand why some rewards offer much better 'value' than others...

How can it be a rip off when we arent actually paying for anything?

But more to the point we do not know what their financial gains are at all, nor do we know what they pay for CD vouchers, nor do we know their costs involved ie: overheads staff, rent, administration fees, or indeed anything about the process at all. For all we know they may only just scrape a profit or they may make millions. But with everything in life, if you don't like it you don't have to be a part of it and frankly if it is such a rip off, then why not just abandon pigsback in favour of another site or way of getting money for the outlay of a couple of seconds work a day. If your time per second is worth more to you than what 10 points, then simply leave it!

We are told that the points are worth x amount but in reality they could tell us they were worth less and hide the admin costs, if I were Pigsback (darragh this might be a way of getting rid of the whinging!!) I would merely call them points and take away the reference to x points equal x pence. Then I'm sure everyone and their brother will be unable to state that pigsback are ripping them off!
