Pigsback III - Various free gifts for clicks!

Poppycat

Interest post tarquincat. I am also a member of Mutual for 7-8 years and haven't had a single thing yet I have just over £4 and 2,538 in shares, I do however get points allocated promptyly, although I realise I have yet to be paid.

Whilst we don't have to spend anything if you so wish, the company does give vouchers for free, they gain by affiliate, nothing wrong with that after all they must maintain a profit.

I also think its good that they removed the love2shop vouchers and even cut down on free clicks if they cant maintain giving out rewards promptly.

The issue I have is that they are extremely slow at giving out vouchers and codes.

I am glad you got your freebies, if I was you I would feel the same.

Everyone seems to assume Pigsback.com operate at a profit.
I assume that is what they are trying to do, but I have not seen their accounts.
It seems like these referral sites are like a mini "dot.com" boom, looks like a very competitive market, and we all know what happened to dot.com's.

got my piggy voucher today - ordered about 6wks ago. the letter with it said they had had massive problems due to excessive demand but they have sorted it out (where have we heard that before) and the vouchers will soon be back to select from on the website.

Its not an assumption they get there money from affiliate links, someone also mention that they get the love2shop vouchers at a substantial discounts and hence make money from them too, they do resell them at a greater face value even taken into account the cost of shipping them.

The affiliate market is quite a growing market, loads of new companies this year alone have entered the market, whether they will be there this time next year, who knows. But don't think for a minute a company that run Piggybank are doing this at the goodness of there own heart.

It certainly looks like that person is trying to flog his own invite using these forums and Ebay. I ask Abcon what they what IF any theyw ant to do about it.

Hey there

Yes I can garuntee the invite will get you into the party.

I'm not going as quite frankly, I'm not a huge fan of Ronan so thought someone who is should benefit.


funnily enough his handle is jimgreen80 any relation by any chance jamesgreen1980

What was the e-mail address it came frome, because it is listed on his profile - [email="jim_191@yahoo.com"]jim _ 191 @ yahoo . com[/email], if it's the same it's him. Can't blame him like, just doing a bit of self promo, but think it's against the MSE rules anyway?!

i emailed "the seller again saying
" so you have a ticket to get in where did you get it if its only for pigsback members they are running a comp to get tickets as far as i know you cant just buy them"

i recieved this reply
" I spoke to them on a business front and they sent it to me, received it this morning"

so what do we think
