    I'm also still waiting for a Boots voucher, ordered on the 14th of December (last minute I know!). Anyone had a decent response on email yet, apart from the "they'll eb returned to us" nonsense?

    hi guys. I had completely forgotten about my pigsback account until I saw a note of it in my signature. When I logged on I have lots of points i have decided to redeem.

    They used to do john lewis vouchers as rewards, but I can't find them anywhere - have I missed out? Do they still do them and I am just being a bit dim????

    any help appreciated x

    Here's what I think is a bonus click through for 5 whole points - can't find it elsewhere. You have to wait up to 6 weeks for them though.

    This was is the Shop and Earn side bar on the home page, so I'd find it that way to be on the safe side.

    Oh my goodness, a 6 week wait for a 5 point click-through and the jaw dropping sum of 1 point per day just for visiting Pigsback during a particular week? I am positively underwhelmed by the generosity! Pigsback really are scraping the bottom of the barrel these days.

    And for those people saying this is something for nothing...

    a) have you never heard the phrase "time is money"? ;) Let's face it, advertising is big business and it must be worth it to the companies involved because they would not do it otherwise. In the last year alone PB has dramatically cut the number of points available, (it was around £1/week or more when I started just in instant points quizzes and click-throughs - now we are lucky to get 30p/week). I can't imagine that membership or revenue has dropped so massively (yet) that they have had to do this to stay in business so it seems to me that it's just down to wanting much larger profits. Eventually it will backfire as people leave, either for better (and more reliable) cash back sites, or just decide they can't be bothered.

    b) I am still waiting, long after the due dates, for points due on purchases from Boots and CD-Wow. I don't know if I can even raise the enthusiasm to chase them this time. I never got my birthday points either, (my birthday was the day of the changeover to the new site design), and when I queried it they put it down to a glitch with the new site which would eventually be sorted. I haven't bothered to chase them since because I've had to do it too many times and am bored. I'm halfway to a voucher at the moment and am loathe to lose the points so I'll wait until I get to the next round 1000 but I'm not sure I'll look at pigsback again after that.

    Excluding the odd lucrative glitch, which is really the only reason I keep coming back, the number of points being given out by Piggy these days is really not worth the time it takes to walk up the stairs to my office and log on! Especially since in 15 months of Pigsbacking, during which time I have entered nearly all the competitons nearly every day, I have won not so much as a bean, a toilet roll or a cake!

    I'm tempted to start a "use the time you would have spent on Pisgback to scour the street for dropped change and see if you can make more that way" challenge. ;)
