Is it just me or are there very limited rewards available now?

I was going to get phone credit yesterday but nothing. Looks like a place on the way out as they only have about 10 - 15% of the rewards compared to what they had a few months ago.

yeah i went to cash in 6k of them today and it was very lmited,

stuck to dantes and tgi vouchers

Site is going down the tubes. Use up your piggpoints quick.

I sent them an email asking if they intended getting phone credit again and this was the reply

Hi muffler,

Thank you for your email.

In general we list items in our rewards catalogue from companies who work with us and support us by running campaigns and offers on the site. This means that items in our rewards catalogue can come and go as companies campaigns start and end. If a company is no longer advertising on Pigsback.com then we generally cannot negotiate a sufficient discount from that company in order to maintain their vouchers or items in our rewards catalogue. The sad reality of life is that we too have bills to pay so unless a company is supporting us we cannot continue to list their items free of charge as that would not be sensible for you or us.

In some cases there are companies, although not running advertising campaigns, who provide us with sufficient discount to allow us to continue to carry their vouchers and items in our rewards catalogue. To those companies we say thanks on your behalf as they know just how valuable you, the Pigsback members, are and are very happy to provide you with their vouchers.

In addition you can now spend your PiggyPoints on all of our Mega Deals which gives you at least double the value of your PiggyPoints and a lot more in most cases. We add new deals everyday so the range of items that you can exchange your PiggyPoints for is significantly more than ever before and we will continue to grow this everyday.

Since we started to offer this option to our members we have seen huge growth in PiggyPoints being used for these Mega Deals. Right now almost 70% of all PiggyPoints exchanged in the past 2 months have been for Mega Deals instead of the traditional vouchers which simply proves how popular these deals are.

We will continue to add and remove items to the catalogue as companies come and go on Pigsback.com. We know that in some cases you will be more disappointed than others when items are removed, but so will we as we never want to disappoint you our members.

Thank you for your continued membership of Pigsback.com and we really appreciate the time you spend on the site.

If you have any further queries please let me know.

Kind Regards,

I'd say they're pretty much f***ed

yeah, fatcheese have taken most of their business (who wants piggypoints when you can get cashmoney), and without the "mega " deals they'd have been gone already

They must be Crap at negotiating discounts, did they not charge €10 extra on admin charges when getting credit?

Pigsback have an offer of 2,000 points if you open an AIB online deposit notice account. It's pretty simple to do if you are an AIB customer.

Yeah, but what can you spend the points on. I can't even get a squidgy piggy at this stage

Also, the books on offer aren't really targeted at a male audience. Some of them are fine, but I'd imagine they could easily cater to a wider audience.

Cash your points in ASAP. I think they are going down the tube as they have little left in the line of rewards. Was looking earlier in the week and was thinking of getting a couple of cinema vouchers but I see they are all gone now.

Damn, kept meaning to get cinema vouchers & never got round to it. Me & my o/h have about 7000 points between us. Better use them on restaurant vouchers or megadeals asap so!

Last week there were 24 poxy books, and now there are 23 poxy books.

...as for Mega-Deals they're all mega-useless as far as my family's concerned.

I emailed them a couple of weeks ago, letting them know that since they dumped the phone credit, there's nothing of interest. They told me that the mega-deals are very popular, and I told them that people are cashing their points in for any old crap, and won't bother returning to the site after the points have been used up.

They didn't come back to again after that, but they must know the writing's on the wall.

Pigsback must be well on its way to the bacon factory now.

I heard an ad for them on Today fm advertising their megadeals. This would be odd if they are winding down.

Anyway the only reason I still bother with the is because the credit card points. As soon as I find another credit card that gives points I'll switch. Unfortunately Ulster Bank stopped doing theirs

Yeah i bought one of those AC Motors deals, tried ringing all last week no answer, didn't know what was going on.

Did you pay by credit card? I think you may have a chance to get your money back. I don't know enough about it but it'd be worth looking into. I was listening to Q102 last week and someone was on about purchasing one of those 'Big Day Out' type vouchers but it seems the company has gone out of business and the Consumer expert said they should go through the credit card company to get their money back.

Good news but what about the call credit?

There is nothing left to use the points on.

See this post if it's any help.

I'm not certain, but they seem to have some new books.

Also the price has increased from 1,000 to 1,400 piggy points for the cheapest book.
