I gave up using this site because it was becoming so hard to get to a level whereby I could purchase a reward. I was tricked into coming back by an email telling me my points had been trebled - I was chuffed as I now had enough to get a £10 voucher.....but oh no we now have to have over £30 worth of points to order a £10 voucher!?! !!!!!!?

that is irritating me I was so close to getting a voucher but now need 3 x more points to get it

Glad its not just me- I thought I was cracking up wasn't it 1000ish points and now its 3000+ for a £10 voucher - I got my points trebled and thought I'd be able to get a few vouchers for Christmas presants - not happy!!!!

I know, it's not fair and there are almost never any of the 'clicks'

In what way is it "not fair"?

Getting money for nothing (well, almost nothing) seems quite fair to me. The only thing they haven't done "fairly" is to triple the value of CTs. They have promised to have more of those, though. We'll have to see.

But its not, back in the day you got 15 pp for a click through, they reduced that to 5 pp but promised more of them, there were more for a while but soon dried up.

Now they trebled everything but the click throughs so you now need three times the amount, they again promised more and there was for the first week but they will dry up and look like they already have.

Before you were lucky to get one click through a week meaning 2 years to get a voucher, now it will take three times as long...... 6 years for a voucher on click throughs alone

3 times more than never is still never lol

I mean that it is not fair to mislead us by telling us they have trebled our balances....but not mentioning that they have also trebled the costs of all rewards.

I didn't mean it's the same as it was years ago :rolleyes: it hasn't been 15pp for a CT for a long time. But it was 5pp with 1 CT per week, now it's 5pp with 4 CT's this week alone. and we only need 3 CT's a week to get the usual 5 pence worth.

All other points have trebled, and rewards have also trebled which is why I said it's the same ... if you rely on CT's alone then you shouldn't really be complaining anyway as it's all free to you. I personally do a lot of shopping via Pigsback, I had a £10 amazon voucher a couple of weeks ago and I'm less than 150 points away from my next one.

CT's arrive at the beginning of the week, we're still on week 1 so you can't really say they've dried up already xx

I'm no defender of PB. In fact, I've been a very strong critic in the past. But I think if you look at the email they sent you on Tuesday 14th, it says:

The amount of PiggyPoints in your PiggyBank, the PiggyPoints you can earn and the PiggyPoints required to claim Rewards have all trebled to match other schemes.

I've no idea why they think the new points scheme matches those of other companies, but they are saying clearly that the points for rewards have tripled.
