    As a side note, i was hoping to use the vouchers towards a stay at premier travel inn. Would i be able to use £70 off my stay? Or do they say you can only use one voucher per stay or anything stupid. I'm assuming being gift vouchers they're effectively a cash equivalent therefore i can pay my total stay with vouchers if it covers it?


    you can use one or hunreds of your stay only thing is you dont get change so if your balance is lower than your points pay the difference in cash or book a breakfast with the other points...

    we have paid for these kind of stays by saving up leisure vouchers

    I've still got points missing too - just had an email from Rachel confirming my current points balance (which excludes what I am owed for the 2nd SWT transaction that went through) so I have fired an email straight back. What a palava!!

    i was wondering what the chance of actually winning a daily quiz was?

    somewhere i read that Pigsback has 800,000 accounts.
    Assuming that 75% of the accounts are not used, there would be 200,000 active accounts.

    On any given day, lets say 10% of the active users log in, so 20,000 logins.

    Of those 20000 logins, say 10% do the quizzes - so 2000 quiz entries.

    so you would have 1/2000 chance of winning one of the daily quizzes.

    so if you do all 9 of the daily quizzes, then you have a 9/2000 chance.

    or 0.45% chance of winning on any given day.

    therefore (on average) you are likely to win a quiz every 222 days, which is every 7.5 months.

    So £20 every 7.5 months, or 67p a week. worth it or not???

    Discuss :D

    (i was bored :o )

    I'm not sure if I am right (haven't done much maths since I was 16), but if there are 2000 people entering the competitions each day and they each enter all 9 competitions then surely your chance of winning a competition would actually be 9:18000 which rounds down to just 1:2000. Because although you might enter all 9 competitions, so would everyone else so you'd have a 1 in 2000 chance of winning any one of the quizzes.

    I hope I am wrong because that means it would take years and years for the average person to win anything!!!
