Pigsback
July 2, 2008Pigsback is a site where you can earn points and then turn the points into either gifts, or gift vouchers. Earning points can be done in a number of ways, from buying through their links, to signing up to newsletters and sending for information. However, there are other ways to earn points as well. Every week they have adverts on your personal pigsback page which are worth 5 points when you click on them. You can also enter competitions where you can earn points if you win, and there’s a special betting section too where you can bet on all sorts of things from the football results to who’s going to win the latest big brother and lots more. You bet some of your existing points, and if you win, you win a proportion of the pot based on how many people bet the same way you did.
Another way you can earn extra points is by writing things for the site itself. There are a number of sections around the site where you can send in snippets of information such as beauty tips, or info on places to go in London and a variety of other things. If your piece is used then you get some points – normally 50 to 100 of them.
Your points are kept in your piggy bank on the site, and when you have enough you can spend them on a variety of things. Rewards vary from gift vouchers such as Boots, Topshop, Pizza Hut and many others (a £10 gift voucher costs 1150 points) to items such as pigsback branded items like mugs, shopping bags, soft cuddly pigs, keyrings and even a manicure kit. The cheapest item you can opt for is a set of 5 branded pencils for 175 points, and the most expensive item is a half carat princess diamond 18ct white gold ring at 85000 points! As you can probably imagine, there’s plenty in between to choose from too.
They also have a special section on the site where you can download coupons to print off. These can be taken to your supermarket and will give you money off your shopping, and they’re free. Not only that, but when you use them, you then get extra points added to your account as well, Not bad!
