Piggy Points

Hi all

Have noticed that since Christmas, Piggy Points seem a bit few and far between.......

Is it just me? Am I doing something wrong?:confused:

Thanks to anyone who can throw some light on this!

    I said the exact same thing yesterday - all this week I've had 5 piggy points.
  • only one click through for me as well this week . I think it will take another year to get another voucher at this rate:rotfl:

  • yes, they are a bit rubbish these days generally.

    I'm still waiting for a total of 2,735 to be credited from the beginning of December from a couple of sign ups . I've emailed them twice but they
    just never reply.

    The 10 pointer click thru's seem to be a thing of the past.

    Bizarrely though I ordered a train ticket on the 29th through them and had the points credited the next day!!

    I think the days of 'free money' are almost over, as so many people now use sites like Pigsback. All the cashback sites have slashed the money for searches etc, but it shows more on PB as it was relatively generous.
    As an example: I joined in May 2007 it was normal to get 70 points (70p a week) on cts and the London quiz, this week just 1 5 point ct only. I have, however, earned £50 in January after booking a return train ticket (3000 points) and one night in a hotel (2000 points)! The points were in my account within 24 hours.

    If you go to the Freebies Forum, you will find the Pigsback thread, with a lot of extremely useful information on maximising your points in the first three posts.

  • My last two sign ups havn't gone on, only three working CT's in the whole of Jan.

    Anyone else remember the good old days when you were given 10 points just for entering the daily comps whether you won or not ?!
