Anyone else receive points recently and have their rewards order subsequently cancelled? I emailed them for information on the status of the reward, they informed me that it was an error to have credited the points so they cancelled the order, but did not communicate this either on site that there had been an issue or to my account. Emailed them back for clarification but It wasnt responded to. :-(

No, but I did order cinema tickets from both my account & my partners in July, neither of which turned up. Got onto them & they said they were posted, so can't understand how neither order turned up. In fairness to them, they refunded both accounts within a few hours.

I emailed them and asked if they had the cinema and phone vouchers in stock. They replied and said that they had stock of the cinema vouchers but wouldnt have the phone top up vouchers again.

Went the following day to get the cinema vouchers but they were out of stock.

There's a megadeal today for a fiver that you'd get for 450 points by going through fatcheese.

€5 instead of €19.99 for Xtra-vision Direct movies by post Gold package!

Includes:
Unlimited Movies
DVD and Blu-ray
3 movie(s) at a time
2 weeks free
Normal price is €19 99 Monthly but with the MegaDeal it is only €5!

It says there's a month of unlimited movies AND 2 weeks free so 6 weeks in total. It might be good for anyone looking to cash in points to get rid of them

It's an ongoing service though so just be sure to cancel the subscription before they charge for the second month!

I can't claim my Piggypoints

georgem25 · 07-10-2011 1:15pm

You may have noticed that your PiggyPoint balance has been converted to Mega Deal Credits.
They have the same monetary value but just a new name and can be spent only on Mega Deals.
For example, if your balance was 3,000 PiggyPoints you could have exchanged this for a �10 reward. Now you have 1000 credits instead worth �10 in Mega Deals. You can use your 1000 credits to purchase a Mega Deal to the value of �10 and very soon you will also be able to make a part-payment for any Mega Deal using your credits, in this example getting a �10 discount for the 1000 credits. So the conversion rate used is 3 PiggyPoints = 1 Mega Deal credit.
This will be more valuable to you as the Mega Deals already have between 50%-90% discount on the RRP and by using your credits you will be saving even more!

Is anyone else having trouble with pigsback. When I click on the 5 piggypoint offers the 5 points isnt being added to my account.

I joined the concern fast- no points

I cant enter competetitions because it keeps asking me to log in (which I have already done)

Got one there last week, got an email through after 2 days and the voucher code was in the reward section.

This pigsback site has become a joke compared to the way it used to be.

Used to 10 points to look at an offer.

Had real rewards from Boots, O2, Vodafone, Meteor and many more.

The points you get are now completely worthless due to the absence of any real "rewards".

I have changed the Pigsback MBNA Card to a Tesco Credit Card where you can at least get something worthwhile from the points.

It's time to wrap it , Pigsback RIP.

Have to agree, over priced books and pigsback merchandise is all thats left. It seems to be almost entirely orientated towards the deals now.

Irishchick · 02-11-2011 10:23am

They still have good competitions and you can use piggypoints towards the mega deals. I know some of them arent the best but I bought the bean bag for 44.49 (with 10% discount code). I had wanted one for ages and the same one in a shop near me was 150 euro.

Its not as great as it used to be but its not all bad either!!

fitzcoff · 02-11-2011 10:47am

I was looking at the bean bag aswell, but when i googled "bigboy Beanbags" to find out what they were retailing at i found this

http://www.bigboybeanbag.com/

Welcome
BUYERS BEWARE!
We have learned that there is a very cheap imitation of our product being widely marketed.

This is NOT our product and has none of our exclusive features.

Our BeanBags are manufactured to the highest specifications, and are ONLY AVAILABLE through this website, a very few selected resellers, or from our exhibition stands, which we list here on this website.

Our Beanbags are NOT AVAILABLE through any newspaper or group purchase offers, or through any other websites.

Please do not be fooled, if you are in any doubt, then please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Our Legal department has the matter in hand.

It appears to me that the company selling through pigsback are not official stockists of these beanbags so I was wary and decided not to purchase.

I wonder are you mixing up bigboys- with fatboys
Maybe your not just thought i'd ask-sorry no offence meant if your not

Irishchick · 02-11-2011 2:48pm

Pigsback is probably one of them.

Edit: pigsback are offering through Infurn, who are a selected seller for Big Boy bean bags.

No offence taken, I think I was thinking of the fatboys originally,

It was the section in my op that bothered me about the pigsback offer where they state that they do not sell through group schemes

Our Beanbags are NOT AVAILABLE through any newspaper or group purchase offers, or through any other websites.

Maybe I'm just a doubting person

Irishchick · 02-11-2011 4:23pm

Your instincts were right. I got an email back from Big Boy. They are fake. Groupon have been trying to flog them aswell.

Still wondering if they are good fakes though haha :rolleyes:

FROM PIGSBACK IN RELATION TO BEAN BAG OFFET !!!!!!!!!

Hi Trevor,

Thank you very much for your email.

This a different site to the one our bean bags come from. I understand the confusion this could cause but as far as I am aware this site does not have any basis to these claims. They are different bean bags and not imitations.

You can see the site where our bean bags will be sold here
https://www.infurn.com/ie/pigsback

If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to email me. Thank You for choosing Pigsback.com.

Kind Regards,

It would be interesting to see how good they are, the brand name on the pigsback offer is the same as the website bigboy, so I wonder how they are justifying the same brand name.

Irishchick · 02-11-2011 7:13pm

I did some research on Infurn. They run a terrible service or so it seems. All the reviews I found were bad.

They do not have these beanbags in stock. they make them to order. When an item is made to order it can take up to 18 weeks to deliver. Pigsback sold over 1000. Groupon and other sites in the uk were selling too. That means they will more than likely have to make 1000's of them.

If you look at reviews you'll see that people's orders were pushed back time and time again. Some people waited 6 months for their item, others 12 and some never got anything at all.

ncur · 02-11-2011 9:01pm

Feeling pleased now that I didn't order one of the Infurn bean bags. On the other hand, does anyone know anything about the Gordon Ramsay food processor that they have as a Mega Deal now?

cbyrne11 · 07-11-2011 10:16am

Hi guys,

Just bumping this thread, wondering if anyone else made the mistake of buying one of these? If you did what are you doing about it, 50 quyid for a giant beanbag is a steal, know there not the original ones but wondering if anyone has ordered and received their and if so whats the quality like?

I bought two and wondering if I should order them or try to get my money back from groupon!

Infirm don't keep stock they make everything to order . Thousands have been ordered so anyone who bought one will be lucky to get it by January so we won't know anything about quality until then

sounds like it could be CGD all over again

Dammit don't know what to do now, bought one for myself and for my brother, thought that maybe someone who bought it on one of the earlier deals might have got theirs by now, think they been sold on groupon for a month or so now.

i take you ordered one as well then, does the website give an estimated delivery?
