Looks like book rewards have been removed from Pigsback now.

I can see the rewards,
are you sure you are logged in.
if you look under the my account tab, it is shown as Rewards, which is the 3rd from the end of the list

No worries - just wanted everyone to know you can no longer get books. How long now before the restauraunt vouchers are gone and then all you will be able to buy is their cr*ppy megadeals.

Aye, the site is becoming less and less worthwhile.

Used to be great when you could get CD-WOW vouchers or Phone Credit. Think all I use nowadays are the cinema vouchers.

pcomer

Looks like all the ads you used to get 5 points for clicking on have been removed as well.

Your prob right, pigsback are really falling down!

Did anyone get the piggy points earned on spending during February? My statement at 05/03/12 showed 809 points earned.

Lately points have been very slow but I have not received the above points and 3 emails to pigsback meet with silence!

I know that the card offer expired on 01/03/12 but as my statement was after that date and spending was in the period of the deal I expect points to be credited.

Want to cancel the card now but not until points are credited.

Anyhow, would be useful to know how anyone else got on with this before I call them (or any other suggestions welcomed).

I have not got points from my card & will cancel card soon. I was thinking to get a Ryanair card but heard that you have to pay the taxes on flights. My friend said he seen cheaper flights then the tax so any one an Idea for a good reward credit card?

I am surprised the web site is still going.

You should get the pp earned during February. PB have put this in writing.

If you're having a problem getting a response it may be because they've started ignoring some of their email addresses lately. Try the contact webform on their site.

Moving to Tesco reward card shortly. Should be useful in conjunction with the BGE offer.

I have got a BOI card, payments online banking hit the account immediately and count towards quarterly transactions so win/win.

Contacted via webform to absolute silence, will just phone.

I need the points to hit 15,000 and will then spend them on a hotel break and close account.

Really disappointed to see that they've discontinued the Books in rewards. The only thing I've any interest in apart from this is Freshmilk clothing vouchers... hope they don't discontinue these as well or I'll be cancelling my membership!

sweetie

I had a restaurant voucher I couldnt use and contacted them to arrange the 70% refund to be told that due to using piggypoints that it is ineligible for a refund. This 'clause' isn't obvious or made clear when one is buying the deals. Bad form!

PeterDuggan

From their "5 point promise"...
Within 7 days, you can get a FULL refund to your Credit Card, Laser or PayPal account.
Beyond that, up to a full year, you can claim a refund in PiggyPoints which can be spent against another Mega Deal or in our Rewards catalogue.
There will be a 30% administration deduction on PiggyPoints refunds.

Don't see anything exempting them from refunding deals bought with pp. They will only refund you in pp.

Its only when you go into the FAQ they point this out. I'd be happy with refund in piggypoints. I'm not leaving it be...

PeterDuggan

Well regardless of the FAQ the condition should be stated clearly in their T&C, in the ad for the deal, in the confirmation email, and everywhere they mention their refund and afaics it's not.

3 Course Dinner for Two including Rice/Naan Bread plus Glass of Wine at Delhi Darbar in Clonnee, Blanchardstown

I bought and used this voucher yesterday at the resturant in question. I ordered food for myself and my partner to the value to the voucher price which was under 70 euro. I informed the lady when booking of the voucher and again reminded her on arrival. We ordered an extra starter and side dish as we ordered dishes that were no where near the price of the voucher and also we did have avail of the wine or tea so really we only had a 2 course meal instead of three.
At the end of the meal when I handed over the voucher the lady asked me for extra money to value of 14.50. I asked why I was being charged this and she started going through the menu saying that I ordered an extra items. I was of the opinion that this voucher of 72 euro meant anything to the value. When placing the orders at the start of the night I was not instructed otherwise and nowhere in the voucher does it state anything about terms and condition, so therefore it should have been included in the voucher instead of charging extra.

We didnt have the free wine of the free tea so it wasnt very fair. From buying these resturant vouchers in the past, they always seem to give us the full benefit of the value of the voucher but not Delhi Darbar!

just received:


I have been on the site and agree that this is not specified clearly in the 5 Point Promise. It is on our knowledge base however not clearly enough stated. I have cancelled your voucher and refunded the full amount of Points.
I would also like to add that I was not trying to be short with you, this is the policy that is set internally, however in this case it can be overlooked, please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. Please note that this error will be rectified on the site so please make sure to avail of whatever deal you use your PiggyPoints in the future.
Apologies again.
Kind Regards
John

Assuming this is the deal you got (or similar)...it does very clearly state

• Any 2 Starters
• Any 2 Main Meals
• 2 Side Orders Rice/Naan
• Tea/Coffee

It doesn't state you can spend up to €70 on whatever you want
2 Glasses of Wine

Hey sweetie, yeah I paid, I complaint when paying and the lady said she would count it all up and got 50. She said that the voucher is calculated on picking the most expensive things on the menu which I made her do and that didnt even come to 60 for two people which included charging 4.95 for a coffee etc. Not happy at all!

I used one of these vouchers before for the same type of thing only it was a mexican resturant in malahide. Staff where really nice and explained to me at the beginning of the meal that I could have what ever I wanted to the value of the voucher, this way it ensured that I didnt over spend. I looked at both vouchers to compare and both them dont mention either way!

Food wasnt even that nice in that indian in clonee.... very bland! I wont be back anyways!

That really winds me up when they blatantly falsely advertise the savings like that!
