    Great post, Redrum, and I agree 100%. I, too, am getting annoyed with having to chase up points. I've had to chase three recent sign-up lots of points, and it looks like there's another one on the cards as I haven't had my Ebay points either.:naughty:

    What really gets to me is the somewhat patronising tone of PB emails. "Are you sure you used the correct email address?", "Are you sure you followed the correct link?".:rolleyes: Well, as someone pointed out, most of us have never heard of half these companies that we're signing up to, so yes, we're bound to be using PB's links. And if I'm signing up purely for the points, I'm going to make damn sure I'm using the right email address.

    What PB have got to realise is that there's obviously something wrong with their tracking systems, otherwise so many of wouldn't have all these problems!

    And to top off my disappointment with PB, the person who won yesterday's Ticketmaster quiz has won before. Why are the same people winning all the time??? Don't tell me that's coincidence! :wall:
    I think we have to accept that however nice people like Darragh may seem, (and probably are), Pigsback aren't going to pay any more out in points than they can possibly get away with. And each and every person who works for Pigsback knows it.

    The moral? If you want your points (other than those for clickthroughs and instant points comps), you're going to have to really work for them in terms of chasing Pigsback. That's how it seems to work, I'm sure it suits Pigsback down to the ground, and I doubt it will change. Most people won't chase their points, or even remember that they're owed, so Pigsback wins by being deceitful and lazy over paying out.

    Not to say I won't continue to use Pigsback for clickthroughs, etc, but I'm being realistic.

    I don't think it's the end of Pigsback at all. They are obviously making a pot of money, thank you very much. They are doing it exactly the way they want to.

    Has anyone recieved squeezy pigs from the 'competition' few weeks ago? I thought they were supposed to arrive within 2 weeks, but I am sure the competition was more time ago.


    Nope - nothing yet!!!

    Just a couple of little questions

    1) has anyone recieved vouchers ordered on 20th Feb?
    2) have vouchers ordered after 20th been recieved?

    Just wondering as there seem to be a lot of us missing vouchers ordered on 20th

    They're meant to arrive in 14 days which are working ones, so it's only day 11. I hope you all get good post this week :)

    Much of the sentiment expressed here recently has been posted before - several months ago. When I read Redrum's post, I thought it was some of my stuff I was reading!

    Reliability of tracking systems is something we were discussing at that point with some considerable vigour. I think it was math` who provided some interesting info on that score.

    Re the Lightspeed points that some are missing ... Try cancelling the Lightspeed membership you have created through PB, then make a second application to join. I have heard that this works. And the same applies to anyone waiting several months for eBay points ...
