Hi all, got a question - what does tracked and validated mean on quidco? This is the first time I've had a real go at doing quidco so have got some tracked and some validated, do either of those mean it's my money yet? And how much do I have to have before they pay out?

Have started seriously trying to raise the extra money other then surveys and have also sold my first book (out of 2) on Amazon. We earnt £70 from the last ebay stint and have 2 perfumes on that are at £10.5 and £5.5 each and don't end till Sunday! Am very proud of myself.

Should be able to pay off the current debts fully this month before the uni fees and visa application fees come in to ruin it!

Thanks for the motivation and tips guys, it really helps!

Its not your money until it reads received, Quidco doesn't have a minimum payout just £5 admin fee per year.

Hi all-just got back online-phone was playing up and then aol...nightmare!!!!
Wow Amy nearly sub 7k!!! shame about the 19p lol!! Well done on your nsd Jen- i manged one today but wont tomorrow as its scrapbooking. i have been roped in to 2 ays overtime this month so will hopefully be able to pay debt/save £50 and buy xmas presents so i can save loads next month!!
Hope MBM turns up tomorrow!!
Aussie-tracked means that the retailer has recognised your transaction, validated means that they are going to pay, now you just have to wait for the money to be recieved and then it will be paid-normally takes about 2-3 months from transaction date

As it stands I should be interest paying debt free the end of November, unless i find £378 (roughly) hanging around somewhere!

I should also then be completly debt free by my birthday next year. :eek: :j

Thanks lilmiss and MM, so I can't get excited about it yet! No wonder you guys are always asking about thing being validated/paid out, I want it all to happen in an instant! Got another £10 voucher from surveys today, maybe I should stick with that! Or learn some patience!

Fingers crossed for quick payments Jen

Ive just popped £150 into my ISA Then this weeks wages go in on monday and i will transfer another £50 to make it upto £1000 in my ISA

This month looks like a tough one to save much as i have car tax due £110 ish, i need a new tyre (which im not happy about seeing as i had 4 new tyres only 3,000 miles ago!) and maybe a new cambelt, water pump and fan belt done! which we be about £400!!! I may put it off another month though!

£1000 in your ISA that's great maria!!!! Well done :-)
