    I just bought Pigsback.com Mega Deal of the day. It is a 50 euro voucher for The Farm restaurant for only 20 euro. Sounds like a good deal, right? Wrong. After I had bought it they changed the terms. Now apparently it's only good for 1 glass of Prosecco/organic fruit juice
    1 Starter
    1 Main Course (including organic sirloin steak)
    1 Dessert or Tea/Coffee
    And not for 50 euro on what you want - and added up it's not even 50 euro. I emailed them and said you've changed the deal after I bought it and they said, 'yes, we have'. I asked for the voucher I had bought and they said no. They have already sold over 300 of these. Anyone else been ripped off on this deal?

    You could get your money back. By changing the terms of the voucher, they've invalidated the deal, so you should look for a refund.

    Yes, they changed it totally. It's quite deceptive. Over 300 bought it and then they changed. They emailed me and said they will issue a refund. But how many people will just turn up and expect a choice of 50 euros of food. Usually expect better from Pigsback.
