Pigsback - Free Gifts for Clicks - Newbies Please Read the First Post!!

Taking into account if a person doesnt purchase anything, its getting very difficult to accumulate many piggypoints now with the exception of a few click throughs or maybe even refer a friend. Is pigsback always like this?

Free money is addictive, isn't it?

Yes, it is like this after the rush of points when you first join. All you have to look forward to is the odd new sign-up and weekly CTs and comps.

Of course, if you're buying something anyway, you should always go through a cashback site, but in general Quidco pays better than PB.

As DS said, it feels like that and then a good sign up offer comes along... we just don't know when they're coming. As the membership of pigsback increases the points available just for answering a question etc have to decrease because its too expensive for pigsback. Hopefully better sign up offers with bigger companies are on the horizon, attracted by the bigger membership.

I've only ever spent 50p through pigsback (remember reporo 'get a cd for 50p and 500 points' ???... ahh those were the days ) and have claimed about £100 worth of vouchers and betfair cash... and thats without ever winning anything .... so I'm certainly not complaining!!

I've earned nearly £15 without buying a thing through pigsback! Yes it's slow but it's all adding up! :j

Can anyone help me? I am trying to log into my pigsback account but it keeps saying incorrect details and when I choose forgot password, it says my email address is not registered with them!

What happened??

Do you have more than one person using pigsback on the same computer? Sometimes pigsback put a block on an account if they suspect someone has more than one account... if quiz answers etc are done around the same time etc. A quick email and proof of each person should sort it.

If that's not it I guess it can't hurt to clear your cookies etc!!

Yeah 6 of us are registered but we never do quizzes etc at the same time - they are spread out during the day. But it is only my account that cant be accessed! :(

About the referrals not working with gmail... I sent myself a referral email to a second gmail account that I have and this is what arrived:



It looks like that cos gmail is set to not show images as a defualt, at the top of each email is a link like this:



And when its clicked the page appears as its supposed to:



So now the 'Click here to register' button is visible.

IMHO its still misleading because presumably its just the 'Click here to register' link that actually contains the referral information, not the other clickable 'pigsback.com' links. Question is... are these clickable links in other email progs or is that gmail's doing?!

I'm not sure if that's any use at all, but I thought I'd explain it to anyone not familiar with gmail... its worth making sure any friends who are allow pics from [EMAIL="curly@pigsback.com"]curly@pigsback.com[/EMAIL] before they click to register.

Hi there - I don't know if I'm just being dumb or what but I can't seem to find out how Quidco actually works! Would appreciate some advice. I have a go now and again but don't seem to get anywhere! cheers!

Have you read the Quidco thread? It might be helpful.
