    Darragh has disappeared....unfortunately. I've sent them an email, as I don't have the time at the moment (or courage) to pick up the phone and ask what is going on.
    Isn`t Darragh on vacation somewhere...?

    Click through's aren't going to make a lot of difference. I only get 3 a week. I'll probably save enough points for my next voucher (when something interesting appears) and will then leave it. At 30 points a week its going to take 36 weeks for a £8.75 CD Wow voucher. Not sure its worth the time and the effort.

    Darragh isn't on vacation as I spoke to him on the phone early last week.

    For what brand of Jewellery do Argento guarantee the lowest prices on the Internet?
    Answer: Pilgrim
  • ...and still no new Advent Calendar prize.

    Why do companies do this? Just as Pigsback was growing at such a fast rate and becoming more and more popular (especially through these threads on MSE whic fill up in a matter of days) they then:

    1. Scrap two of the most popular aspects of their site, the 10point quizzes 2. Start annyoing people by delaying the sending of Boots vouchers
    3. Remove said Boots vouchers
    4. Don't replace Love2Shop voucher yet despite promising to do so months ago
    5. Use a system of updating quizzes and especially the Advent Calendar prize which is inefficent and delayed
    6. Have a response time to queries and questions increase dramatically (including Darragh's help on the board which has disappeared)

    Come on Pigsback it's Christmas, show a little festive generosity and good business sense, it's a great site and these little things tend to annoy dedicated users!

    Yesterday I only had 4 click-thrus & 10 points for the spotlight quiz as the entertainment quiz wasn't working when I logged in. Today no points.

    I agree that it doesn't seem worth the effort.

    Maybe they're not making any money if no-one is actually buying through the website? Cut-backs?

    I am anoyed with them too!!!! I am buying through the Pigsback, but they are not very good in puting the point on and I am waiting and waiting and waiting.... I am getting fed up, totell the truth!!!!

    Was happy whilst the daily points were there....as were still getting something for not a lot. Now I am more than a touch annoyed. I'd be fuming if they hadn't added on points that I was owed as well (fortunately not the case here)

    Thanks very much for that, although I noticed I didn't get any points. Is it a draw?
