Breaking down payback.

orangeman33

Could giffgaff break down payback any better in order to show you how much you earn a month? This could help people understand where they earn their payback. On your dashboard page it would be definitely helpful to be shown what payback you earn each month?

orangeman33 you get a monthly payback statement which shows how much payback you earned for that month. What more do you require?

Note that the exact breakdown of how you earned that payback is not divulged to prevent gaming the system.

orangeman33 Tbh I think the break down we get is enough ! Think how much extra work would be needed to breakdown thousands of payback details ! Never going to happen !

Don't think so matey , if they did then the cat would be out of the bag 😄
Peeps would just go to the place to make money and so it would ruin the community.
Enjoy what we have and contribute to the overall .

orangeman33 usually giffgaff send a points statement but could be late due to new platform.

We used to get a detailed statement and breakdown when payback 2 started in 2015.
They decided to take it away.

Hi again this is how we used to receive payback points statement in email.
Then they reduced it to the detailed points statement, then downgraded again to what we have now.

As you can see it was detailed it gave total for period at the end and your projected earnings based on what you turn this period and what you would expect to get in payout.

orangeman33 giffgaff provide a monthly payback points statement via email.

orangeman33 could be due to new platforum.

i get a detailed breakdown in my monthly notification email.

gizzblue

orangeman33 I'm afraid if giffgaff have too much away, people would simply manipulate to accumulate.

orangeman33

endorphin I haven't received a monthly payback statement and I am subscribed to have emails.

Sorry but the calculations for payback are a mystery so it's not possible to give a exact breakdown.
You will get a point statement that gives some basic idea as to how you earned your points.
Cheers

orangeman33

titan2019 All I am asking is if we can see how many point we gained over a month. Not to know how payback works

orangeman33

alantony1 I haven't received a breakdown. All I can see is how many points I have earned since June.

danhamman

I don't think it needs to be that specific.
It will say X amount of Helping Other Giffgaffers and X amount of Extra Community Points

Hmm, I received mine so check your email spam folder. Did you receive any points in September? Check here https://giffgaff.com/profile/payback

I am also subscribed to receive emails and haven’t had a points statement. I always take a screenshot of my Payback details once it is posted. To get the breakdown, on the dashboard there is a link to View details under your total.

Sometimes you might receive some Extra Community Points (1 x) added to the total (as you see in my screenshot) for a specific activity (I did have a PM informing me).
But unless you follow from month to month it is not easy to see where the totals come from.

I never know what I will get from month to month ~ I’m just grateful for what I receive. I just try to help and encourage where I can. 🤡

wagstaffes

orangeman33 I know what you mean. It just says 4 X helping other giffgaffers here, https://giffgaff.com/profile/payback
So unless you look back on individual emails, if you have them, you can't see any breakdown by month, or, the simple breakdown that you get on the emailed statements either. I agree it would be a nice enhancement.

robasto

orangeman33 You can tot it up yourself each month, just take the points you did have before that month's payback was announced from the points you have after the payback. Obviously it's no good now, but you can work it out going forward.

alantony1

orangeman33 Afternoon, once a month you get a breakdown of how many points you earned and what for i.e. say 500 point's for helping members. You will receive one even if points were not earned. Hope this helps. Alan

orangeman33

wagstaffes At least someone agrees! 😃

orangeman33

mcilwraith Yours is definitely more detailed than mine. All i am wondering if it could be broken down to see how many points we have earned each month. I have indeed checked my Spam in my emails and no emails in there.

richybhoy36

onthelash If they did this then every1 would be earning the maximum each month ! And it would make earning payback a dodle ! Also it would take the fun out of doing it ! :-)

orangeman33

endorphin I did receive points in September. All I see is on my profile the amount of points I have earned since June

orangeman33

richybhoy36 I wouldn't say so. It differs every month I would say. Just seeing how much points you have earned over September for example, would be a nice touch.
