    I got 50 points for just clicking the link
    Coo! Just checked - and so did I! Fantastic. Thank you! :)

    Although losing the France Guide points, I do still have 2800+ points, so will be aiming for the 3000, then giving it up. I've been in PB since the beginning, and it has just got worse and worse, and less and less fun.

    WOW!!!! I've never seen this thread so busy at night for years. :eek:

    I got the 50 points for the Ariel sample too, although it said I had already requested a sample. Can't remember whether I did this from another cashback site or from MSE freebies thread. But at least I got the points.

    Just wondering if any of Curly's little helpers are reading this thread and reporting the anger ........ or should I say fury. ;)

    Yeah, me too, but will he claw it back months later with his sharp little trotters? Obviously another blunder by the pink nincompoop: forward one step, back two.

    Looking back in the thread the instructions for the French Guide CT quoted by maccaz were:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/27694151#Comment_27694151
    France Guide - visit daily for 5pps and a chance to win prizes
    Each Pigsback.com member that clicks across and enters will receive 5 PiggyPoints everyday they click!
    As far as I can see the piggy has retrospectively applied an end date for the offer.

    All anyone who got the points has done is to follow the original instructions and click through each day until the offer was removed. It the piggy forgot to remove the offer that is their fault not ours. I can't see that they have any right therefore to remove points acquired by following their instructions.

    Having said that it's probably not worth arguing the point.

    With PiggyPoints being almost worthless, points not tracking, offers not being honoured without being chased up, very few CTs, competitions not working (or dubious winners being announced) for most people the loss of 500 - 600 points simply means it will take a few more months to reach the point where they can claim a voucher and ditch Pigsback for good.

    Decided to quickly order a leisure voucher before they take them ALL away (620 gone from my account :().

    535 points gone from my account this evening too........ :( Can't say I'm surprised, but it's still annoying.

    Mean piggy - lost 520 points today have just over 1000 left, wondering whether to cut my loses now or hang on for a voucher

    -97 points is my balance - I got 595 taken off for the France click-thru.

    I'm not really surprised, a little disappointed but hey.

    Hope the voucher I ordered 3 weeks ago has already been dispatched, then I think I'll leave my account - no point starting from a negative balance is there?!
