    Hi there
    On Mondays they put up adverts that have a pink border around them. Just by clicking through to the advert, you get 10 points. I earned 60 points this week doing this. I also enter the weekly win a 1000 points draw (no luck yet), and other competitions. There is a daily crossword you can do for points (can't download it because I don't have java enabled or something, but it might work for you).
    There are also things that you can join up to via pigsback eg survey sites etc.
    cheers

    Its just mainly doing the weekly click throughs, you get about 50p a week and you can also enter the comps there. You can also earn points by signing up to newsletters, if you read the first 2 posts of the pigsback thread in the freebies section it has them all there with the links to them,

  • You can earn quite a bit without spending.

    Every week you get clickthroughs (ads with a purple border) and these earn you 10pts each.

    You can also sign up for newsletters, etc (and unsubscribe later) to earn various points.

    Plus if you do the competitions every day you might be a lucky winner of points or prizes. The answers for these are usually given in the 'big' thread you referred to.

    Oh, and every now and then, you can earn points for other stuff and this is also mentioned in the 'big' thread as it happens.

  • I'm up to 31.60 since the middle of October, though I dont do it all the time. I just signed up for newsletters etc. and did weekly clicks, the only one i'd avoid signing up for is a quiz one ( or is it get me a ticket) coz you do get regular irritating emails from them - there again you can always just delete them.

    remeber to enter the quizzes - I won once and 1000 piggy points was a brilliant boost to my balance.
