PIGSBACK SQUEALS AHEAD WITH ONLINE REWARDS FOR USERS AND A DEDICATED CHRISTMAS ZONE

Pigsback.com, officially launched in the UK by Pigsback member Ronan Keating, is making sure that members have all the necessary ingredients to make Christmas 2005 hassle free, and piggin’ great, with the launch of their Christmas Zone. Buy your gifts online and be rewarded for every purchase. The site is offering the highest value loyalty points, ‘PiggyPoints.’ Earn PiggyPoints that you can then spend on your own well-deserved gift or perhaps some wine to make the festive season go with a swing.

"The British public love their points schemes, but an understandable cynicism is setting in as people are starting to view the schemes as being more in the interest of the retailer rather than the person on the street. I’ve seen quotes from loyalty group companies over the past few weeks claiming to be offering promotions in December, but when you scratch the surface, these are no more than smoke and mirrors. We can guarantee that Pigsback rewards each member a minimum of 5%, and in most cases up to 10% of every penny they spend back in PiggyPoints. Pigsback.com would never sell or rent personal information on its members to a third party and you don’t even need to buy something on our site in order to receive points!"
Michael Dwyer, CEO Pigsback

A dedicated Christmas area, to be launched on 1st December featuring unrivalled deals from selected partners such as iPod World, John Lewis, IWantOneofThose.com will ensure that Pigsback members are fully prepared for Christmas, from stocking fillers to recipe suggestions for that perfect Christmas party you’ve been planning.

To help the many of us who get stuck coming up with original Christmas gifts for the family, Pigsback has a gift advisor, highlighting the best offers available for everyone from Dads to Daughters and even the dog! If it something more unusual that you are looking for, Pigsback are at the click of a mouse to find exclusive Entertainment offers from theatre and concert tickets to exclusive dining out offers with partners such as Toptable.co.uk. With over 80 partners in the UK* there are a sty full of gifts to choose from this Christmas.

Everyday throughout December Pigsback will also be hosting an Advent Calendar giveaway for members to win prizes such as CDs or extra PiggyPoints to help with all the Christmas spending. There will be exclusive rewards and vouchers to spend PiggyPoints with such partners as Boots, TGI Fridays, Marriot Hotels, Laithwaites Wine and David Lloyd. If that is not enough, there will be competitions galore from new and existing partners where members can win hampers of merchandise, or alternatively put that mistletoe to use with an office Christmas party. There will also be an entertainment area with online Christmas games, Yuletide memories, jokes and stories and e-cards to send to friends.

For all those who really want to bring home the bacon this Christmas Pigsback are running an adopt a pig campaign, where members can adopt a pig for a family in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in association with Irish charity, Trocaire.

At Pigsback the consumer can only win. Don’t hog it all for yourself this Christmas, indulge and jump on the Pigsback.
