    I haven't had any free clicks on my home page for over a week has anyone else been having this problem?

  • Old piggies will remember the days when they charged 1150pp for a £10 voucher, it was great when they reduced them to 1000, it takes much longer to build up your piggypoints now than it did back then :( , me thinks pigsback may lose more members.

    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] 0fa3b16d-c0a9-4137-a4ee-659c51e5b8b0.png [/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.

    I'm sooooo annoyed at this! Pigsback do get a discount if they buy the vouchers in bulk!! I'm three-quarters of the way towards getting my next voucher and then i'm finally off after 2 and a half years...

    They remind me of the tv advert with that bank manager - they reeled us in to begin with when we used to have loads of ct's every week but when you've been with them for a while they do nothing for your loyalty! :rotfl:

    Ok...I shouldn't get so worked up over PB for goodness sake :o but I've really got no time for them now.

    There's no guarantee of a win with this suggestion.

    yes that must have been a year ago or so.. and at the time we all thought it wouldnt last and some of us still think one day they will put them all back up again
    Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,
    Still loved, still missed and very dear
    Our thoughts are ever with you,Though you have passed away.And those who loved you dearly,
    Are thinking of you today.

    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,

    Laura"

    So it looks like no Birthday Piggy Points! :(


    I also was told, the other day that i wasn't signed up for it.
    So i checked back through my bank and hey presto there on page 15 of my points, was 50 points for my birthday from last year.

    I've fired am e-mail of to them yesterday with a screen shot of the page, funny but they have yet to reply, if i dont get one tomorrow i will be sending them the same e-mail again.

    I wouldn't mind paying postage so much if it were one lot of postage per order. Ie. say I happened to be that lucky person in Manchester who won 2 quizzes today I would have had enough for 4 lots of JL voucers which would be posted in one envelope, 4000pp plus 150pp for postage but instead it would be 600pp. £6 for an envelope and a first class stamp?! I think not. :mad: I'll be ordering my vouchers seperatly in future out of principle even if i did get a lot of points in one go.
