Had to email about 2 instances of not receiving points after the mandatory 6 weeks allowance for allocation, result was:
Took 1 day to get points credited for an Amazon order
1 week later and still waiting on a further update about Pixmania points due

Had problems getting Pixmania piggypoints.

Pigsback support were very helpful but didn't seem to have any record of Pixmania transactions.

tbh - Not sure if I can be arsed with it, if you have to keep chasing up points..

I take it you still didn't get these points, have they stated you wont get them or are they still investigating?
I'm nearly 2 weeks waiting on an update so just emailed again.

I've just been really lucky with these types of competitions... (touch wood!) I've won a TV from Coca Cola, free holiday from Denny's, and some smaller things but this one is amongst the best

Long may it continue!

Have to buy the lotto tomorrow then

I have won a Poker set back when they have Ebay competition where you guess the amount of piggypoints they placed for a particular item. The closest person that guessed it win..

Got dialy trivia quiz three times too..

I know a guy who used to work for them apply the points, he was laid off at beginning of the month(!) think they laid off a good few. Thats probably at the heart of the problem.

tried this one out, was pretty good!

Doodlebug · 13-07-2008 07:42PM

WTF?! All the phone top up links have been removed?? Feck!

christo82 · 14-07-2008 10:11AM

CDWOW don't seem to be a partner anymore. no shop and earn link, and no vouchers either. shame. I used my piggypoints for vouchers all the time.

lau1247 · 14-07-2008 01:21PM

no more sport zone either

madmoe · 14-07-2008 01:48PM

I used it for Vodafone and 02 credit, are they both gone now?

Noticed that today it's kind of weird - there is a 10 point quiz in the Guinness Hurling page though

spaceylou · 15-07-2008 02:40PM

I just checked pigsback, and they don't have the €5 top-ups anymore but you can still use your points to get €10 top-up for O2, Vodafone and Meteror - thank god cause that is what I use them for nine times out of ten!!!

nogihno · 16-07-2008 04:33PM

anyone know if the cd wow vouchers are gone altogether? the rewards selection is poor at the moment

Saruman · 16-07-2008 04:42PM

Damn just noticed they increased the cost of vouchers for restaurants! Used to get a €10 TGI voucher for 1000 points etc. Now its 1200 points which is pretty much costing €2! That sucks.
I just ordered 5 x €20 vouchers for TGI Fridays.. yum... It cost me 1000 points (€10).
They do have some nice new stuff on there like boots vouchers etc although everything else i wanted was out of stock. I wish they would let you order anyway and just have them ship when they are in stock.

Sign up to Rabo's newsletter and receive 50 points.

Anyone get the email about signing up to the Guinness online discussion group?

3,000 piggypoints and a pigsback goodie pack if your application is successful.

PeterDuggan · 18-07-2008 09:11AM

I wonder are Pigsback on the way out?
1) The quality and value of supermarket discounts has fallen progressively.
2) There are complaints that users are sometimes not being credited with piggypoints they're due unless they pursue Pigsback.
3) The range and value of rewards has been reduced.
4) Many rewards are frequently out of stock and left so for long periods, and now...
5) They have increased the cost of rewards by 20%!

The general trend above indicates that Pigsback don't value their members and before long the feeling may become mutual. If members leave or reduce their use of Pigsback this will very quickly impact their bottom line - because advertisers only pay them to get to us. Less members = less advertisers = less income = reduced rewards for members = less members.....

It's a pity to see an innovative hard-working Irish company lose focus like this. Mistreat your members Pigsback and the business will suffer. Reward your members and it will flourish. Be generous. Be fair. Unless you tackle the problems above you'll be working harder and harder for less and less return.

But will they listen? I suppose it depends on their attiude to the members....

nice1franko · 18-07-2008 09:47AM

Ya know what, I've been thinking the exact same the last month or so. I cashed in €200 worth vouchers a couple of weeks ago....

SELL SELL SELL!!!!!!!

Moonbeam · 18-07-2008 09:52AM

Anyone got pixmania points recently?
Waiting a lot longer then 6 weeks at this stage for them.

Very good,,,:D but i think you could be right. It hasn't being do much offers or changes the past while, dropping rewards and offers and not doing the fundamental things its meant to!! If its hassle and not working right why would anyone be bothered!!!
