I just phoned the 0800 number again, the message is to be patient and that PO will do everything possible to sort things out to everybodys satisfaction.

I'm really pleased with the way they are handling this, I must admit! They are giving out a consistent message and being polite and patient. When you compare this to the way Homebase acted over ShedGate 2008...

Ouch thats £100,000 at least in Cashback if they honour it .....

And all the Quidco & similar sites.

payless

1000 x ( £100+ £43) = £143,000

less say £10 commission from NU on each case ( £10,000 )

Plus costs of running IT system, issuing refunds , handing inc oming calls

EQUALS

another 2p on the price of a stamp ?? or bang goes the budget for Westlife's fee for the
PO's TV advert

Just had phone confirmation again - to go along with what everyone else is saying - that cashback is being given for any applications completed (i.e., with a plan number) before 12.30pm yesterday.

If you don't have a plan number they have no way of knowing what time you did anything and I suggest a phone call is in order! Am now back to waiting on hearing back from PO Chappie - he says it is much quieter today so they are better able to help people today. I think they're looking at the anomalies on a case-by-case basis.

Apparently they had 1000 applications yesterday morning. :O

HTH!

surely, if Quidco tracked then that is proof of the time of application?

Sounds like unless you lot claim on policy in next 3 months they may be taking a hit on profit .... so watch out if you are followed by a fast moving Royal Mail van

If she's reading this... don't forget to get yourself a beer!
