Pigsback - Free Gifts For Clicks!

Binxy

Kazzea - why can UK users still access Irish links - admittedly not directly through Pigsback but by links posted by others?


Binxy - Are we going to get our accounts suspended for clicking irish links when we didn't know they were?


Maggogy - will i ever get my 2x 100 points for cdwow purchases? i got a cdwow voucher on 26/09 and never got the 200 points
will my hubby ever get his love2shop voucher he never received? are we ever going to get these rewards please? im more worried about the love2shop voucher....


Dragonfly02 - Im still waiting for lightspeed points from months ago, i've sent many emails to the postmaster@pigsback address, i've included an alternative email account incase there are problems with my spam filters and i have altered my spam filters when using hotmail, and I have had NO reply whatsoever. Please help

JGjet - 2ND that, been waiting AGES! (see Dragonfly02's question)


Nitewalker - I am still awaiting my 400 points from the Lottery could you please advise when i might get them. Any assistance would be appreciated. Keep up all your good work and effort.


Jmcateer - I am on Irish site. My wife and son joined but are on UK site. As irish site is more relevant can they transfer?


Kazzea - as you know already my family are all pigsback mad (myself, one of my brothers, my parents and my Aunt) We are all members at the same address. This is not a problem (I sorted it all out with Pigsback that having so many people was ok) However my brothers girlfriend moved in with us a few months ago and she wants a Pigsback account of her own - I have discouraged her so far as I don't want my account (or anyone elses in the family) closed because Pigsback think we are "trying it on" My question is would this be ok??


Deeds - I didn't / still haven't received my (boots ) voucher ordered back in JULY!


Comicmankev - Any chance we can swap our redeemed vouchers? I started collecting with my partner and here Dad. Then I decided to get everyone to get Outback vouchers and put them all together towards a meal. She just received her voucher (and we've all redeemed ours but not got them yet).

The bad part is they are just £5 OFF, and not £5 vouchers!!!! Now, this is certainly not a deal. The voucher that is free on your site offering a free starter is worth more than that. Seriously, this is a really bad deal and am not happy with 3 on their way to us which are no use at all!


Bluemango - Have you managed to sort out the link for ASOS as I was told that is was MY ERROR for not getting points for my order, as I had not clicked on the link correctly.

I placed 2 orders with them and recieved NO POINTS for any, no response to emails until I sent it everyday then was told again MY ERROR and nothing you could do (I know many other people have have the same experience with ASOS points).

Also still waiting for my Stress piggies I ordered months and months ago, told in an email it was being looked into, and I am still waiting....

Look forward to a reponse as all emails after I was told I have made an error were never ever responded to. I look forward to your response!

MrMe - I had exactly the same problem, tracking with asos is not working (at least not for everyone although I have never heard of anyone getting points from shopping with them) I have also tried contacting pigsback only to be told it must be my fault. All I can say is don't shop through pigsback with the exception of cdwow. I am owed nearly £20 in points have sent all of my confirmation emails & even asked if it could be something to do with pop up blockers or browser issues but it was me that didn't do it right Oh & still waiting on my lottery points & a Love 2 Shop voucher but for some reason I STILL love pigsback

Could you look into the tracking with asos & give an idea of when I should get my lottery points or even if I will get them? Thanks!

OMG just got my Love 2 Shop voucher today Now just the lottery points & asos to sort!


Soprano - I ordered a cdwow voucher LAST MONDAY and it has not yet arrived. I have sent 4 emails, but not one has been answered. I would rather not use this forum to ask questions, but feel I have no choice.

Do you need my email address? Thanks, Christian


Arkonite_babe - I have just sent the following email to Pigsback:

Quote:
Hi, I redeemed my piggy points for a cd wow voucher on 9.11.05
This still hasn't been credited to my rewards section. Neither have my lottery points from September been credited. The last time I redeemed poiggy points for cd wow it only took two days, can someone please explain what is going on?

I have also emailled yourself as per request in the Pigsback thread. Please can I have some feedback as to what is going on.

Yours frustrated, Piggypoints collector since 2002, a_b


Rchddap1 - any news on the larger value CD-Wow vouchers that you were going to investigate for me?
Kazzea wants to know this too


Mumof3 - I'd forgotten about the stress pigs, yes,where are they?? I ordered them for everyone at work and was going to use them to bulk out stockings. They are still available to 'buy' with piggy points, so you can't have run out of those too!!


Freyaluck - would it be possible to get a link set up to tescos.com I know they have an affiliate program in place, just a thought?


Rchddap1 - One further question...any idea when the 'outdoor category won't select' issue is going to be sorted. I'm still having problems.


Allexie - can you clarify if the Pizza Hut/TGI Friday vouchers can be combined????


Innovate - is there a difference between the Daily Crossword and the Bring on the Day with Nescafe Crossword? i.e. are they two separate things or the same?


Kazzea - where has Avon gone in the Shop and Earn section?? - its no longer on the drop down list


Swattie: Daragh,

I used an £8.75 CD-Wow voucher and bought a CD that only cost £7.99 (many of their CDs incl Chart have gone down to £7.99). What happened to my other 76p ? I didn't get a credit at CD-Wow ?

Perhaps a £7.99 CD Wow voucher could be available for 900 points ??

Thanks

Droopsnout: What happens to multiple submissions of the daily crossword? Is there a software mechanism to discard all submissions after the first one? Or are all submissions, including duplicate entries, enetered into the draw. (Can I add a question: Why is the winner not named, as s/he is in the Rustlers comp?)

There is no new crossword on Saturdays and Sundays. It is, however, possible to resubmit Friday's. Is there any advantage to doing this, and how does this tie in with your answer to the last question?

Why are so many people not getting their eBay 300 points, months after they signed up and made their first bid (13 July in my case)?

Why are so many people not getting their 200 points for their registration with LightSpeed? (Again, on 13 July for me).

Why were so many people advised that they had not followed the correct procedure to claim points when it would seem that the majority had indeed done so?

Why did the daily quizzes frequently fail to appear? (Hopefully, this is a thing of the past).

Why was the winner of the 10-point Know Your Celebs quiz named on-screen, when there was no prize to be won? (This was stopped shortly after I mentioned it here).

Why does the winner of the daily Rustlers Trivia Quiz always live in "SE - London South West" - apparently?

Why is it unlikely that the L2S vouchers will return? (I accept that this may be commercially sensitive, but I would respect such an answer if it was given).

And we've not had a proper answer as to why some people get different Monday click-throughs when they are signed up for the same interest categories - as evidenced today, where some folk are getting 10 points for the HQ Hair ad.

Are the 10-point click-throughs posted simultaneously for everyone, or do different batches of PB members receive offers at different times?

Are some click-throughs for 10 points programmed so that you have to click on them a number of times before the 10 points become available? This seems to have been the case a couple of times in the past.

Re. the UK/Irish sites discussion, typing in "win points" in the home page search window also brings up the Irish version of the crossword, sponsored by Nestlé and a Dublin radio station. I'm sure that a UK entry for this would not be allowed to win. Someone - maybe innovate - asked Darragh to comment on this previously, but we've had no answer.



~cleo~ Why is the Irish site so much better than the UK site

Also an error if you logout then go to login but dont enter any details and just click login you are taken to the Irish site and logged in as someone else...this is very poor major programming error.



Umer: Hi Darraghd,

Just a quick question about vouchers. On the other thread you said the Boots vouchers will be live today or tomorrow. Are these only useable at Boots stores? Are you expecting any highstreet ones soon that can be used at a variety of stores?

Thanks for any help!



Jellyhead: darragh,

can charity donations be giftaided? i donated 100 points to forgotten children this week but i give all of my usual donations through giftaid and would rather do so if possible. when i donated my name and address came up so i just wondered if you've got the name and address info is there any possibility of using it to sort out giftaid if the person is able to do so?

Boo-boo: Darragh
I've sent numerous e-mails to postmaster@pigsback.com and unfortunately I haven't received a reply yet.
I have also emailed yourself as per request in the Pigsback thread. I won 8205 points on 2/08/05(Jackpot pool) and ordered 7 L2S vouchers on 5/08/05.
I haven't received them and I really hoped that you'll not ignore my messages and finally credit the points back to my account.
That’s my last hope and I’m expecting a respond!

Clowance: Firstly thanks for everyone who is so helpful on this thread re comp answers and clickthroughs etc.
Question: I bet 50 piggy points on the Conway sisters being ejected from the x factor - havent got a prize yet , how long does it take them, usually?
I did also bet on Bill in the strictly come dancing, and have already got my piggy points for that.
Also, how do you know what odds they are offering? For the come dancing one, I bet 50 and got 54 points back. Wouldnt have bothered risking it if I had known in advance how bad the odds were.

Loobyloose:i cannot find the ask darragh a question post.
I said what about choice vouchers, but then what about luncheon vouchers, we can use them in tescos, asda, morrisons, sainsburys and many more



Miscellaneous:

Can you clarify the postal system for sending vouchers?

What is happening with the advent calendar regarding daily rewards?

Then a PS because somehow I missed Kiplings!

Why does it take so long to post Boots vouchers?

Is there any chance of posting using next day delivery/record delivery at a small additional cost so we can get the vouchers quicker and also so there is a simple way to keep track of them?

Why does Pigsback often state they have sent the vouchers on certain dates and then when they arrive the postmark states 3-4 days different?

What other rewards are in the works, especially those similar to Love2Shop?

Why have you scrapped the popular 10-point quizzes?

Can you have an automated reply saying when our email arrive so we at least know you have them rather than waiting 3-7days for answers?

Why did you promise 6 click-thrus a week and most of us only get 3, or was it simply the wording was wrong as this applies only to new users?

What other changes does Pigsback have in mind?

Where did you get the feedback that most users are happy with the new changes which was hilariously put on replies to our emails concerning the loss of the quizzes?!

Can the rules for the betting be changed so it is no longer possible to lose points on a winning bet?

Why are quizzes (and lately advent calendar promotions) so delayed in appearing, surely it’s simple enough to program these in to change at certain times?

As the MSE board is more active than the Pigsback forum can you commit to coming on here at regular intervals for the near future?

What other retailers do you have in mind using, there have been many suggested on here such as Play etc which would make excellent partners and would keep many of us returning to Pigsback?

Is there any chance of any other online vouchers?

Why do Cdwow vouchers cost more proportionally the higher the value reward?

And why do electronic vouchers have such a higher cost anyway, it doesn't cost £2.05 to send a £8.75 voucher code and we all know bulk buyers of vouchers get discount of the cost price anyway?

Is there a way to stop UK users inadvertently using Irish links and potentially getting kicked-off because of this?

Just out of interest, how much has been raised for each of the charities n the rewards page?

Again out of interest, what is the demographical distribution of Pigsback members, for example 99% live in SE London?!

When Pigsback states please allow 14 days for delivery is this 2 weeks or 14 working days?

How about bonus birthday points for users.


Oh, and I did say that A - I might have missed some (sorry there were squillions) and B - Some may not now be releant (I didn't cross check for posts saying "Doesn't matter, problem solved" etc)

Has anyone else won on these recently? When I have won before the points have been credited first thing the next day, but I should have won on the Strictly Come Dancing jackpot on Saturday night but haven't received my winnings yet.

No-ones commented yet that the Advent Calendar is giving 20pts for clicking-tru to the Christmas Poker Tournement and 20 pts "just becuase its Christmas".

Ooh - just noticed 10 pts for learning how to refer a friend as well. That makes 50 pts this morning. I hope we get the usual click troughs as well.

I didn't log-on yesterday so not sure when this came up. Hopefully yesterday, in hwich case there may be a new offer today after one o'clock.

Yep, fair's fair! This is an extremely good start to the day, and there is clearly EVERY point in visiting PB today!

Well done to them!

droopsnout

Thanks, Binxy, for taking the trouble to post all that!

I wonder if Darragh had a festive weekend or one dealing with that lot! Bit of a lose-lose situation, I'd say! Poor bloke.

Unless, of course, it's saved him a lot of time in drawing up a report!

What time do the click through's normally appear?

rchddap1

Usually its later in the afternoon....unless they're changing that part of the site too that is.

Brightspark

I've had two 10point click throughs this morning. Blockbuster and Sandhouse Hotel. I hope there will be more today.

Usually around 11.00am. For a couple of weeks it was late afternoon, but last week it was just before 11.00am, so they may have gone back to the usual routine.
