No rules are broken when cancelling a subscription.

On the other hand, pretending to have one account when you have two is clearly fraud.

There is a huge difference.

Darragh (remember him? Was communications manager) always knew of the posting of answers to crosswords and competitions, and had no objections. In fact he rather fed the enthusiasm. I am sure that someone at PB monitors this thread closely, and PB will still be fully aware of what's posted here and, probably, elsewhere.

I dont think posting all the links to completed crosswords, competitons, quizes is in the rules either - so I guess you dont click on them?????

Also, applying for things to get the points and then cancelling the very next day????? Not strictly what Pigsback put them there for?????

I was just stating an opinion !!!! If you dont like it, dont do it.

Posting those have nothing to do with breaking the rules, like you said they're not in the rules so they're not being broken lol. Anyway, why would giving someone answers to quiz's and links be breaking the rules? Think about it.:rolleyes:

If we apply for something and cancel the next day, then get the points.. it's because we have done all we are supposed to do in accordance with the terms and conditions, otherwise why would they give us the points? Again, please think about what you're saying.

It wasn't an opinion, it was talking openly about breaking the rules which i certainly will not be doing. A lot of people here could easily sign up twice i'm sure, but because we're not greedy or willing to maybe risk the amount of points overall for everyone (including ourselves) most people stick with ONE ACCOUNT PER PERSON as the rules state we should. I don't see why you are trying to justify it by making claims that posting links to competitions is rule breaking lol.

I believe hovism suggesting winding down an old account prior to opening a new one.

So the t & cs are still being complied with - one account (at a time) for one member. It may not be quite in the spirit of things, but no more so than signing up for an offer just for the points, then immediately cancelling.

It's tempting, especially when PB are becoming quite mean to us old members.

If the old account was cancelled before a new one was opened then that would comply with the 'one person, one account' requirement but pigsback would probably be within their rights to refuse a new account to the same person, or to take action if they realised what had happened.

The issue is not whether it is possible - clearly it is given a different email address and mobile number - but whether it is right. It is tempting to be all out for what we can get but in the end it would only lead to the closure of such schemes (as has happened with various affiliates on quidco recently) and the majority suffer. Personally I'll stick to the rules and enjoy the high level of rewards I get from pigsback... through no expenditure other than a little time. It doesn't do to be too greedy, imho.

MoneySaving is about cutting bills not cutting back. It's about being a sassy consumer. Companies try to screw us for profits. MoneySaving shows you how to screw them back.

How is 'screwing companies back' compatible with playing by the spirit of their rules? Surely if there's a loophole to be exploited, this site is about finding and exploiting it?

Creating a new account would seem to be acceptable under the t&c's, and it would gain a moneysaver some valuable extra points. If Pigsback want to clarify their terms to remove this loophole then all well and good, but at the moment it's open to interpretation, so surely fair game for users of this site?

http://www.pigsback.com/members/terms.asp


'Each Pigsback.com account must only be accessed by the Account Holder, and may not be accessed by any other user, without the express permission and authorisation of Pigsback.com.

No more than 1 Pigsback.com account can be held by any one individual. Pigsback.com can demand proof of identity in the event of a dispute.

In the event of access by another user, Pigsback.com reserve the right to freeze both accounts until both users are in contact with Pigsback.com. The user shall retain access to Pigsback.com but will not have any access or permission to spend PiggyPoints, until the Account Holder has personally been in touch with Pigsback.com Member Services.

In the event of regular access by a user other than the account holder with the purpose of earning PiggyPoints, Pigsback.com reserve the right to reclaim all PiggyPoints earned by access of the unauthorised user and freeze the account, for which the member will have no recourse against Pigsback.com.

Members may earn PiggyPoints for enrolling in the Pigsback.com Programme; taking advantage of PiggyPoints earning opportunities on the Pigsback.com website and other third party websites; reading or responding to offers from participating advertisers and partners; and complying with the terms of other offers or programmes from Pigsback.com or other companies.

Unless otherwise specifically notified, PiggyPoints can only be earned through following all and any instructions regarding earning PiggyPoints. A Member's failure to correctly follow any required instructions or procedures may result in no PiggyPoints being earned, for which the Member will have no recourse against Pigsback.com.'




Could you please direct me to where it mentions having one account AT A TIME? I think you'll now see that he would be breaking the terms and conditions by doing this. Also could you direct me to where you think he is technically complying with the rules?

Refer please to my second piece of bold highlighted text where it states that if terms and conditions of an offer and instructions are not followed correctly then they will receive no piggypoints. So therefore cancelling a subscription or something would result in no piggypoints if it wasn't allowed.
