  • Is it me or are the rewards for pigsback getting less and less?

    Almost seems like they're getting progressively less support from commercial companies. Good time to spend all your points before something bad happens?

    I tend to spend my points as soon as I get them on Leisure Vouchers but that is being scaled down now too.

    well they have just moved into new offices and are about to relaunch a new-look site...so things may get better shortly.

    Hi all

    Just joined up to PB and had a brief look at the site and a browse through this thread. A lot to get my head around!

    I have picked up that there is not a definitive list of retailers that can be accessed through the site but I am having trouble navigating my way around. eg I know you can earn PB points with Boots but when I type boots in the search facility I get a list of footwear! Is there no way to search for retailer as opposed to products? I would love to know which of the major high street names are partners. So far spotted ELC, Boots, Woolworths John Lewis and M&S. Are there any other big names for household and kids stuff especially?

    I do shop online with Tesco so this sounds like a good deal if we can get PB pts as well as CC ones.

    Thanks in advance This site looks almost as addictive as MSE - my husband will be pleased :rolleyes:

    It's you. We older piggies have seen PB grow and grow, and every so often some folk have a feeling that rewards are being reduced. Then something comes along to renew enthusiasm.

    Fifteen months ago, there was no Tesco, no M&S, no Direct Ski, no Continental Airlines, no Intercontinental Hotels, no Visit Britain/London/Liverpool/etc., no Littlewoods, USwitch or Apple ... The list goes on and on.

    On the other hand we did have two daily quizzes for 20 points each, IIRC. But that was just to get an initial audience.

    Advertising campaigns come and go. New things will turn up, and the more members PB has, the greater the rewards SHOULD be. Of course, we'll have a smaller chance of winning the comps ... One thing PB did have but has no more is the feeling that you're part of a small club.

    He'll forgive you when you get a Costa Coffee voucher and treat him - no way will I pay their prices normally!

    My husband has just logged onto his Pigsback account to find 100 points awarded for being a pigsback geek lol ... turns out one of his suggestions was published. Just a shame they won't let both him & I do the golden easter egg hunt, maybe it is IP number based :confused:
