    Got the email about treble the points so thought i'd order a naff pen or something, 1500 points for some cheapo Curly merchandise :rotfl:What planet are they on.

    Lol. There don't seem to be any naff pens anymore either or post-it notes. Only crappy pencils and for 1500 points. I don't think so! :rotfl:

    My opinion right now is that I am going to cash out my points ASAP. I know it's "dog eat dog" business and all, but the "honestly, we're improving, not struggling!" attitude of pigsback worries me greatly, when it's obvious to any idiot they've been cutting back. I just wish they'd be honest.

    Their subtle decline really worries me and I don't want to be left at the stage where I've got nothing and they've gone under.

    It's really pathetic, we should write a petition here or something at MSE

    My first shop and earn points have been added since the change ... 2100 points for dogs trust, was 700 when I signed up so looks like they're are trebling everything you earned before the switch :T

    2487 points now :T

    Yep but we did get 4 CT's to day so as long as they keep that up it shouldnt be too bad. Will be interesting to see if you get the old or new points on any outstanding orders etc

    1old ct = 5 points x3=15 pts IF Pigsback had applied logic.

    4 new cts= 20pts (their chosen route)

    Overall we are 5pts better off, but at 3,450 a voucher it is meaningless, especially as some people didn't get the 4 cts :confused:

    I have not washed my hands and quit because the hotel offer is still the best for me, but that is the only reason.

    Loyalty is EARNED and without that goodwill businesses crumble. Shame Pigsback don't realise it.

    Of course the joke is, it is all meaningless if there are no decent vouchers in stock!

    So you need 3x as many points to get a reward, but you still only get 5 points for a click through.

    I think it's a joke lol
    Did you read the part about pigback not being as good as other points so they've trippled them.
    But as you said it's as hard to get points and they've trippled the cost of vouchers!

    Ok I think we have worked out that as a cashback site Pigsback is pretty Poop!
    But I don't get why people are leaving?
    Thanks to posters on here it takes less than 2mins to click the comp links, not exactly time consuming and you could win enough points towards a voucher.
    It will not cost you anything....but if you all insist on leaving then Im not gonna complain...

    Less people entering the comps = more chance for me :D :rotfl:

    That's all i'm doing. Never got any points for any shopping gave up in the end! Got my 2 amazon vouchers the other day so got something from them!
    Now have 30 points appeared in my account. Not sure why they're trebling the points they're giving then also trebling the points needed for the rewards. Do they think we're silly?

    I don't think it's too much bother to enter the comps daily, then there's always the chance...Never bought anything through pigsback and won't, but had some points from buying tickets to cineworld. Have had about £40 from there, not much, but better than nothing.
