    Well I have a lovely (and very annoying) puppy who makes SURE I am still up as she constantly needs to go outside :) Funny how everyone else in the house appears to go suddenly deaf to her whines at this time of night :)
  • Hi, just thought I would add my (minor) tale of woe to this thread.

    I took out a travel insurance policy from ACE insurance, via Pigsback, to claim 200 piggy points. The points were supposed to credited instantly, but they did not appear (despite me following the sign-up instructions to the letter).

    Anyway, despite a few emails I have got nowhere with Pigsback. They claim that they can find no record of the transaction (despite me sending them a screen capture of the transaction!!) and they refuse to credit the points unless it is 'correctly tracked via their site'.

    Very annoying, since I only took out the policy with ACE because they were offering the piggy points. The end result is that I have cancelled the policy under their terms and conditions, so no real harm done. But I am still more than a bit peeved that Pigsback just washed their hands of the whole thing, basically saying that there was NO PROBLEM their end (ahem...sure, whatever you say Piggies...).

    Oh, Sparkie!!!

    As I was doing the crossword, I clicked on "Submit" by mistake, intending to click on "Check". My half-completed crossword was apparently accepted. Once the puzzle was finished, I submitted it again, and the second one was accepted, too. So, if someone who was grossly unscrupulous wanted to make multiple entries (like we can be bothered!!), would they all be accepted and "put into the hat"?

    Enough blather ...

    This is a continuation of the original Pigsback thread HERE which has grown to huge proportions! ;)

    For anyone not already a member, you need to register at www.pigsback.co.uk

    You are given an initial sign-up bonus of Piggypoints and can earn more Piggypoints for nothing by entering daily quizzes, clicking through to selected offers, getting rewards for shopping through their partner sites and signing up to newsletters etc.

    30 Piggypoints are currently available every day, just for answering two quick questions. *Hint: Even though people like to post the answers to the quizzes here, you still get the points even if you take 3 attempts to answer the questions, apparantly. :o :rolleyes:

    Piggypoints can then be exchanged for various free gifts. A £10 High St (Love2Shop) Voucher was available for 1150 Piggypoints, but is currently unavailable. (Hopefully this is only temporary!) Other gifts are available for fewer Piggypoints, so don't despair.

    Watch this thread for tips on any extra Piggypoint offers that people spot.;)

    [/QUOTE] Pigsback.com have since 15/09 decreased the amount of points on Spotlight quiz, now you only get 10 points instead of the original 20 points.
    As far as the vouchers are concerned, i am still awaiting £30.00 worth of them. After emailing Pigsback, they replied saying that they were currently out of stock of the vouchers, i wonder how long that will last, not indefinately i hope. Perhaps the pigs have done a runner with them, imagine them squealing, 'we got the vouchers you didn't', while doing this :j . [Jumping for joy] lol.

  • Rustler Quiz is up and running
    Q. Sex and the city: How did Carrie first meet Mr Big?
    A. They collided in the street.

    Does any one know if they will do the vouchers again??
  • Have asked in an email if they plan to do the vouchers again (while also asking about the one I haven't received yet) but as I have emailed on Monday, Wednesday and again today with still no response I'm not holding out any hope....
