    The Megadeals are just for the incredibly vain, aren't they? Every one of them is about "improving" our looks. It gives a pretty depressing picture of the character of the British, don't you think?

  • I have just logged on after being on holiday last week and could hardly believe my eyes when I realised what had happened.
    Been a member for many years and have seen the slow decline over the past couple of those years..so was not not really that surprised to learn that they have ceased trading as Pigsback.
    I too have lost lots of points. However...I can't really complain as I have earned lots of John Lewis vouchers over the years...and had got 14 seperate accounts with Pigsback (Ha ha :D)
    Well done to the folks who had managed to get their last vouchers out of them, before they went belly up..and commiserations to those that feel like they have been ripped off.
    I for one, have had my fair share out of what was once a fun site to be a member of.
    RIP piggy. :A

    Has anyone tried 'buying' something with their megadeals? I thought I may as well use my credit to get the contouring set for a Christmas present but it says my phone number needs validating, directs you to your account page, but that just lets you change your password, that is, when it's not coming up blank! Or sometimes it says I don't have permission to access the page :mad:
    Fuming!

    I don't believe in the concept of hell, but if I did I would think of it as filled with people who were cruel to animals.

    Or maybe Pigsback thinks/thought we are all ugly ;)

    Whilst that is true, I am disinclined to be sympathetic because of the abrupt way they just took our money.

    Me too, I've used Pigsback to shop with a couple of their partners over the past two weeks, I don't think we should have been able to still do this when they have no intention of giving us the points. If I had known I would have gone through Quidco. I was only using Pigsback as I was so close to getting 6000 points!

    They dont have the decency to give people there money to value of the points raised

    PEOPLE SHOULD AVOID THIS SITE NOW. If they treat old customers like this whats to stop them doing to to new customers?

    Shame on you pigsbank
