could be from get me a ticket, or something similar, one of the competition sign-up sites...not from Pigsback themselves, they dont do that.

Any "free" holiday that asks for a payment is usually a timeshare promotion...

This is the answer I got from pigsback:

Hi Rune,

Please accept my apologies, but I am unable to manually mobile validate your account.

Our mobile validation procedure can only accept UK or Irish mobile numbers, it states in our registration process, in the personal details section, to advise us of the country you reside, the options given are UK, Ireland, or Northern Ireland.

These options are there because we do not currently have the facilities to process rewards for members situated in countries other than the UK, Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Don't you have any uk friend that you can just use their number for 5 seconds??

Again, apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks for your mail,

Kind Regards,

Lynn

Are you living in Denmark? Or in the UK with a Danish phone?
If the latter you could maybe get a free sim card from O2 (or whoever are doing free sims at the moment)?

Oh refered his sister to PB in the hope of getting the extra 500 points, she most certinly used the referal email and we noted down the number that appeared. I talked her through the site at my house and then left her to her own devices, she ordered her first reward on Monday. Surprise surprise no points added, emailed Rachel only to receive a reply stating that OH sister did not go via link, oh yes she did. I did it for her. I have refered them to this thread, pointing out that this seems to be a common occurance and asking for their comments.
Me is starting to think that they have pulled the plug on this.

If I order vouchers to use at a Travel Inn, do I just present them when I pay for my room to get the money off? Thanks!

yes and you dont have to have the full amount for the room.. i'm using £100 worth on a 5 day stay in april.. just tell them you have leisure vouchers and they deduct it from your bill.. great love them

I dont think inviting them to read this thread is a good idea...we are not supposed to be just collecting points for our rewards you know.....;)
