    Holiday reviews can earn you 100 points..and you get them very quickly.
    I submitted a review last week, and points were in within 36 hrs.
    Does not have to be a rambling a review, just the basics...
    I honestly thought that my review would not be used, but it was.

    Agreed, but then why a few weeks ago did we all get 6 or more clicks???!

    Who knows. Maybe every so often we are rewarded with more click-thrus. Or maybe they got a load of new advertising that week - click-thrus are, after all, supposed to be for each new advertiser they get that week.

    I didn't hear people complaining when they were getting their free money then though. I do get a little annoyed when people have the expectation that one should automatically be given free stuff, rather than earn it.
    The points one gets for spending are quite fair.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    That's a little unfair.
    If they have only 1000 people a week getting 3 click thrus and the 10point quizzes they're giving away £400 a week.
    I imagine there are many more than 1000 regular users.

    The point of the site is your buy stuff through it and earn points, not expect a free ride to loads of vouchers. Any business doing that soon wouldn't be in business.

    I disagree!!! If you were not rewarded, Why go there in the first place? To have a look at the fantastic advertising??? we get enough of that Crap when we switch our televisions on! or when we buy a magazine!

    Lets not forget, that these companies are getting us to directly look at thier products in the full knowledge that we are being rewarded (or not as it seems) to do so. Each of these companies must take it in turns to be the click thorough under the sound knowledge that is will be another companys turn next week.

    And Finally!!

    How much do you think PIgback are getting for our clicks?

    So stop selling your valued (if you are like me!) Time for a small reward! You only have to look at other sites that reward! Pigsback is one of the meanest!!

    Good luck to you all! Don't slate me for having the Guts to speak my mind in a nation where we can't do that openly! My Grandfather would turn in his grave!!

    YOU ARE NOT GETTING SOMETHING FOR NOTHING!!!!!

    you are giving them the time of day!!

    Do you get paid to watch TV adverts???

    Or like me do you switch channels!!
    They make money from you clicking ohn the adverts that companys have paid them to do! Wise Up!!!!

    The trouble is that many reviews just get ignored, only a very few get used. I've been submitting reviews for all kinds of things on Pigsback over the past couple of years and have only ever had one published. I've stopped bothering now.

    True in some cases - but often you would get more using quidco or someone else. And I've done two purchases via pigsback recently (one of them a month ago) and not received points for either so far. Last time I used them (for a hotel booking) I had to chase for my points too.

    Only 1 click-thru on my two old accounts but i had 5 on my new account.
    maybe PB are tired of people just using click-thru's to build up points and don't order via their site. :rolleyes:

    I think the main incentive for any of us signing up to pigsback would have been the free points??? 99% of us all will have brought something via pigsback i know i have. The main problem is getting your piggypoints for the purchases, i'm not gonna wanna chase up every single purchase or sign up i have made to get my points which is what most ppl are having to do lately. If pigsback want people to use them as a cashback site then they are really going to have to sort out their tracking methods and how they obtain their files from the companies and giving people their points on time because letting down their members isnt really good advertising as we all know word of mouth works wonders in both good and bad ways.
