I bet it has to do with people on a certain other Canadian freebie site (smartasscanucks) bitching and whining and emailing pigsback with a million little complains. They even have a Thread on their site with 51 pages of posts of complaints...
thanks for ruining it for the rest of us ...

turtle22 · 05-20-2008

I only had 460 points but I was saving for the piggy bank for my son. This sucks they should have given a warning

missingglassmarbles · 05-20-2008

That was very irritating. Not 3 days ago had I signed up a half a dozen people to the site. 6 month pilot... I wonder how long "temporarily closed" will be.

Chantou · 05-20-2008

I have 2397 points, I hope I don't lost my rewards

turtle22 · 05-20-2008
