  • I signed up recently and haven't had any problems with missing points so far... the surveys I answered the other day (my interests or something) was credited directely and the linked one was said to be credited a few weeks after it has been closed

    I think the best thing is the poll making, I love making polls and add pictures, but the best part is to see the results divided by men and women and their ages! I put polls on the site and my blog everyday and compare my friends' answers with the community's! AWESOME! :)

    Has anyone got the results sent to their email yet?

    as poor as they are, i''ve managed to scape together three HMV vouchers so far, thats in just over a year which i suppose would be considered as pretty bad but when compared with all but the TNS surveys i do (i'm signed up for pretty much every survey/cashback site around) i've had more from these than the others

    sure they have missed points but the speed at which i can rack them up with missing points is still pretty good.

    I'm at 44,000 points and have been stuck on it for quite a while. I was looking to use these for ipoints but I'm not sure if they're much better. Agree with the other comments about it taking too long into a survey before being kicked out as unsuitable and then not getting any points.

    For all the criticism Pigsback gets, I've got about £80 in vouchers from it without really making any big purchases in the past year, and another £40 or so from Valued Opinions, so I certainly know what I'll be spending my time on in future.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Thanks for the thumbs up on the Sainsburys vouchers,I just ordered 2 :j

    I get fed up doing 50% of a survey and the getting chucked out meaning I only get 500pt or even none at all.
    They have still had 15mins of my time and 50% of the information.Maybe I am too sceptical but I wonder if they only need that first 50% but lure us in with big points rewards!
    I did complain and funnily enough after that I managed to complete the next couple of surveys!
    I now put emails offering surveys in a folder with a note of whether or not I managed to complete them.

    I know its something for nothing but I don't like thinking they are duping me :confused:

    I claimed for 4 hmv vouchers on the 17th of Dec but i still haven't got them yet :confused:
    I thought i would have got them by now esp as they are e-vouchers.

    I just emailed them & i got a reply within an hour, i was most surprised :D
    This is what they said:
    First and foremost I would like to apologise for the delay in getting your HMV voucher codes to you. It should not take more than 4 weeks for you to receive it as we send all the vouchers only once a month. Unfortunately we have experienced a delay with our last order. We hope to have the vouchers very shortly and they will then be sent out to our members. I sincerely apologise for the delay.
    I’m afraid that e-vouchers work similar to paper ones. We need to order codes as well and that takes time.
    We understand that our members work very hard for their points and we are of course working prevent such delays in the future. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
    Once again, I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    I do these surveys on and off but logged in today and found they had taken about 23000 points off me for no apparent reason.

    Just seen that points have to be used within 2 years which is why they have been deducted from my account, boogers, on a lighter note i've just been accepted as a textpert, only 2% get through you say :)
