There was only one favourite, Binocular, that won at Aintree today. Personally I would avoid Aintree for my selection for the next two days, as there are top class horses in most races - which obviously makes it harder to pick a winner IMHO.

When was the last time anyone got their birthday points? I've seen a few posts lately where peeps have said they got an email saying they weren't in fact signed up for it.
Anyway, I emailed to ask about my birthday coming in a few weeks and I got this response today from Pigsback.

"Hi Susan,

Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately members cannot subscribe to Curly's Birthday email at the moment as we are currently experiencing problems. However we hope to bring this back on site as soon as possible so keep an eye out!

Glad you are enjoying Pigsback.co.uk.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused, and if you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards,

So it looks like no Birthday Piggy Points!

Just noticed the changes too - he is becoming a very tight piggy! M & S vouchers still 1000 pts for £10 voucher though.

Newsflash: You may notice that some of our rewards have increased in PiggyPoint cost and we'd like to explain why that is. As we give 100% of our commission to you when you shop with our partners, we will now need to add a small handling and postage fee to some of our rewards. We've kept the cost as low as possible to minimise the effect on your PiggyBank - it's simply so that we can continue to give you more back when you shop with Pigsback.com. If you have any questions about our rewards and costs, please email our member services team.

They're taking the proverbial now. What a stingy piggy. Comparing with other cashback sites I very much doubt they pay the claimed 100% (just look at mobyko) There's no longer a true point-to-pence value as per:

Hi Guest , [SIZE=-0] [/SIZE] You could have 1,000 PiggyPoints in your PiggyBank worth £10.00 in rewards.

I doubt it will be too long before they add the 150 on to the remaining vouchers. I think they must be in the process of doing this - at the moment you can order a Topshop / Burtons / DP etc voucher for 1,000 pp but if you want an Arcadia voucher (they're the same b****y thing) it's 1,150.

If you have the points and want one of these vouchers my advice is order now.

I notice they say handling rather than pure postage. So rather than add 150 to any order they lump it on the cost of the voucher. Sneaky - no saving up and ordering say 3 vouchers to pay only one £1.50.

"You get more with pigsback" - Pull the other one.

Another thing......do you really think they pay the full £10 for these £10 vouchers? Anyone who works for a company which has an employee benefits scheme will know these can be bought for x% off.....so they are already creaming some money off. Why do you think they don't just offer cash via BACS/Paypal.

Tight g%ts! :mad:

It only cost 36p for a franked envelope. This is actually making me thinking of not bothering anymore, takes forever to get vouchers, could spend the time on other cashback websites :rolleyes:

I notice it's the vouchers which were always going out of stock which are now 1150 PiggyPoints - like Boots, John Lewis and Arcadia. Isn't it also a bit of an anomaly that, at the time of writing, Burton, Topshop and Wallis Vouchers are still 1000 PiggyPoints - yet they are all part of the Arcadia Group?

So if you want to shop in Miss Selfridge or Dorothy Perkins or any shops in the Arcadia Group, it's advisable and cheaper to get a Burton, Topshop, or Wallis voucher, rather than an Arcadia one which will cost 150 PiggyPoints more.
