You could still save up the money and buy presents or things for yourself.

Most people that are using MSE should be disciplined enough not to spend it by the fact that they are on MSE and using Pigsback. If you are lucky enough to get 11500 points in a year that would give you £100 in most vouchers but if you exchanged it to betfair and then requested cheques you would have £115 and a small amount of interest if you followed my route.

what do other people think?

I am wary of doing this because I dont use Betfair except once for the Piggy point tournament. I think its a loophole that will be closed if a lot of people use it because there are transaction costs for Betfair that will not be recovered. Personally I think if everyone starts to do this Betfair will stop using Pigsback and people who really wanted Betfair credits will be disappointed.

If Pigsback wanted to give cash I'm sure they would set up something to do with Paypal as per Quidco.

The vouchers are more expensive than the cash value but I dont spend anything through Pigsback therefore I dont feel I can complain about the cost - its still something for nothing to me (or as close as can ever be)

Seems quite correct to me Thats if they don't have the Java Applet though, if they have the Java and its freezing still i would suggest you check your security settings in Norton (or similar) that may be blocking the Java from loading.

Hi - how do you get payment by cheque from betfair? I can't find that option anywhere? The only option I can find is by card which betfair won't let me do because I haven't deposited with my card!

I would appreciated any help please???
