  • Sometimes click throughs posted here by other may not work for me, it will be the same with the one I posted. They might be ok for some, but not work for everyone.

    Has nayone else noticed that they have been adding little bits to the UK site the last few days?? maybe we will see some new points opportunities soon - they already have an offer for earning up to 2000 points if you sign up to their dating site - you have to pay though.. but some non paying ones would be good

    Just in case anyone from Pigsback is reading this - how about some amazon vouchers/gift certificates???? or at least cd-wow vouchers in higher amounts cos as far as i know you can only use one voucher per item and I want some box sets or computer games to put past for xmas
  • I was just trying to point out that this site does offer FREE gifts, most people are just clicking with no interest in the products. Especially people sitting by their swimming pools somewhere hot (who could obviously do with a free tenner).

    Just offering a bit of balance.

    Now that is true, and a good point. Unfortunately, it wasn't made in the first post!

    Hehe! Touché!!

    Actually, I exist on a pension which is likely to be far less than your earnings! (I obviously don't know your earnings, but my pension is way below average incomes in the UK). So the free vouchers really DO come in very handy.

    Regrettably, the income from the B&B, whilst welcome, is very little after expenses.

    And our house here cost just £25 000 more than the one we sold in the UK. And there's a lot more of it.

    Indeed, and I have apologised for the tone of my previous reply. It's not nice, though, to be told to "get a life"!

    Do they? Please could you give us an example.

    I also think you will find that the clicks they offer us will be subsidised as a pay per click option by the appropriate merchant. As every other cashback site offers this same option for differing rewards - whether i have an interest in the product is not the point - by clicking on the link i am looking at the merchants advert and maybe sometime in the future will remember them when I or a friend is looking for that product/service.

    @tarquincat have you come on here to troll or something?

    Yes the gifts are free but in order to gain gifts you have to click on links, sign up for things, shop, or enter competitions.

    The company must have had some sort of business strategy to do this because unless its some rich Billionaire that doesn't care about losing money, they must also be gaining via affiliate links.

    I have signed up to received several newsletters, and also fill in questionnaires, so far I ain't got a single reward. Only points but as far as I am concerned so far points equal nowt.

    I personnel wouldn't waste my time on this, if there wasn't just a small chance that I can get some little reward, unfortunately some of us (not me personnel) have either lost points, or in my case never got any vouchers.

    If the company can not supply vouchers perhaps they shouldn't deceive people by offering such incentives.

    Interesting article here about Pigsback.

    They certainly don't run this site out of the kindness of their hearts but to make a very healthy profit. They (should!) have a vested interest in keeping UK folks like the MSEers happy and making them loyal users since they need their initial investment in the UK operations back, and they want their UK operation to become profitable sometime in 2008.

    The way they are presently going (not sending out vouchers etc) doesn't suggest they will find it easy to achieve their goals. Perhaps the MSEers need to make the CEO aware of the pretty shambolic UK operation.
