    There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word which means more to me than any other. That word is England.

    Humm

    Just done a few sums, copied my whole pigsback history into excel and added it all up.

    In total i have received 59390 piggypoints (changed the minuses for plus's to make it all add up)

    Using find in excel to find 1150 there is 13 matches, so i have lost 1,950 in postage costs

    That makes 57,440

    Using find again back in the day when cd-wow vouchers where 1080 for a 7.99 voucher i have lost 2,248 in 'postage' there.

    That makes 55,192

    Sharing that by 1,000 the value of a £10 voucher means i have had 55.192 vouchers

    That means i have got £551.92 in rewards (I got £8.10 in piggybank at the moment so its actually along the lines of £543.82)

    Surely i haven't done that right? Points seem to be drying up at the moment but i havent got over £500 in vouchers i dont think?

    Maybe this is just the tiredness talking, nearly 1am but i cant find a fault. Anybody else had rewards along this line?

    sorry bit off-topic but
    hey does boots have mobile top-up vouchers and where do u ask for this?...at the counter?
    Yes they top up yoru phone, use your pigsback voucher for that as well as they are just like cash.. you get them from the till but ive only got them using the swipe card that i got with my phone so dont know if thats the only way you do it..

    try asking on the boots thread on the grabbit if you need more into they more informed on there
    Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,
    Still loved, still missed and very dear
    Our thoughts are ever with you,Though you have passed away.And those who loved you dearly,
    Are thinking of you today.

    I have e-mailed them 3 times with these queries with no response, so maybe someone here can help instead?

    Premier Travel Inn reward vouchers: 1) do they have an expiry date, and 2) can I use more than one in a transaction i.e. if my stay costs £50 can I use 5 x £10 Piggy Travel Inn vouchers to pay for it?

    Getting really fed up with them now. Simple enough questions and no reply!

    By chaning the minuses to pluses haven't you effectively double counted your points? You get credted for points as you earn them, but then withdraw them from your piggybank in larger chunks. You don't earn an extra 1000 (or whatever) points by cashing in your points, so adding them into your total gives the wrong number. They should just be deleted from your spreadsheet to give you a true sum of what you've earned. Or you could _just_ sum up all the minues and add that to what you've got in your piggybank now (unless you've lost points by not cashing them in in time.)

    I hope that makes sense...
    Gratitude turns what we have into enough.

    Hi Matt,
    You've added up the points you earned, then added them on again when you cashed them in. You only need to add up the minus figures if you're working out a complete total. Or add up the earned points ignoring the minus figures. I wish I'd earned half of £500 in vouchers, oh well, I'll keep at it.

    Ooops.sorry beaten to it.
