    I won the daily quiz way back and once I got a jackpot share from the sports predictions. Nothing since though. Would prefer some of the competition prizes than points. Wonder how many members there are altogether.

    I won a one year family ticket to the Zoo. Have used it a fair few times so far already. You can't expect to win competitions. The odds are very much stacked against you..

    This thread alone has more than 45 thousand hits and climbing..

    Thanks for the links. They are brill.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 355 ✭✭tadgh


    The 10 pointers which appeared in the OFFERS section on th old site seem to be no longer there on the new site.
    Also when i do answer one of the 10 point questions, my piggy points are not being incremented.
    Also the Car Zone quiz is no longer there.
    Is there any advantage in visiting this site anymore?

    the 10 pointers are still there, they appear differently i.e without the purple box instead they are a line undertneath

    Just to let you know. Pigsback sent me an email last week with a link to visit their new web site, and get 100 points (to anyone who has had points expire), the next working day. I visited the web site using the link, but never got the points. So I emailed them and they said the points will be addded. So if you got this email and clicked the link, I'd suggest you check that you received the points.

    I had that problem too and contacted them. Here's the reply I got:
    Hi

    Thanks for your mail.

    My appologies for the delay of your PiggyPoints getting to you.
    With the new changes being made to Pigsback.com, there are some slight delays in PiggyPoints being rewarded.
    You should recieve your PiggyPoints soon.

    Please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any further queries.

    Kind Regards,

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,630 ✭✭✭Oracle


    I still haven't been credited with the 100 points I'm owed, despite being sent an email saying they would be given to me. :(

    Good news on building up points in case you hadn't heard.
    We wanted to let you know that we've taken the site revamp as an opportunity to revise our PiggyPoint expiry rules. PiggyPoints used to expire after 12 months but thanks to member feedback that won't be the case any more. PiggyPoints are now far less likely to expire - the only time they will is if you don't visit the site for a whole six months.

    I want to be fair to Pigsback, I got my points today! :) Just in case you missed it on the thread below this LaCie 500Gb drive is reduced to €103.49 for one week at Dabs, if you order through Pigsback, you get 200 Piggypoints as well. (Per shopping order, ends August 30th. 2007.) Thanks to Pauly3 for spotting this bargain.

    Cheers

    Well, check the vouchers available first. Chances are there'll be nothing you want, so it wont be worth joining.
    If you do join, i'd suggest setting up a yahoo/gmail account just for it, as you'll need to sign up for a load of rubbishy spam you dont want.
    To get the first 1000pp (or near enough) is easy. After that, its usually not worth the bother of going back every week, unless you buy alot through one of their partners.

    That said... to get the first 1000pp might take about an hour of effort... for looking for the offers, and then signing up. The weekly payback, between click throughs and weekly quizes (10pp each), you'll get about 70pp a week, for 8 minutes work, and just let that build up.

    So i guess it all depends how much your time is worth, if the vouchers are worth it, and if you plan buying online with their partners.

    Personally, i gave up. Alot of the partners started disappearing, and since cdwow went to the dogs, none of the vouchers interest me.

    Final point: ask your friends if they're joined, they can get alot of points for referring you
