    I have been lookinat this deal but have read this

    Please read the following before proceeding
    Please note that we have been advised by Vodafone that for the time being cashback will not be paid on the £10 monthly SIM only deal however any purchase made before 12pm on 26th August will still be honoured. The 4 month validation still applies.

    So are they still paying this out on new sim only deals? I don't want to risk it if its going to be declined


    yes but not the £10 one

    Quick warning to anyone thinking of going for this deal with Vodafone / Quidco....

    From the other thread on the subject:

    Just wanted to add my VERY ANNOYED two penneth worth to this....

    Back on 2nd July I took out a Vodafone Sim Only £20 a month deal and should have got £90 Quidco from it too.

    Well originally the payout date was "Sep 08" which at the end of September changed to "Oct 08" and then "Nov 08" and today has changed to "Dec 08"

    This is a ******* JOKE and Quidco need to sort it out.

    I would advise everyone not to buy Vodafone, especially not through Quidco if you expect the cashback to ever reach your bank account - I don't believe it will ever happen and there is no way I would ever have taken the contract out if I knew I wouldn't have got the cashback.

    I have just contacted Quidco about this and expect to get the usual "its not our fault (and we can't be bothered to sort it out)" response, however if they do pull their finger out then I will apologies and remove this post.... here's hoping!

    I don't dare cancel incase the cashback declines, think I might just downgrade to the cheaper tariff since I never use all my minutes and texts anyway.

    but if its tracked and you've had it 4 months why give them any more money.

    I'm a few days over 3 months on my sim only deal . i see I need to give 30 days notice.
    Do I do that now? If i do that then I will have had sim active and working for at least 4 months so should track on quidco?

    I have a similar experience having taken out my contract on 19 July, more than 4 months ago and it is still at tracked status (not yet validated).

    I bought the £20 sim through Cashbackings and it tracked in 2 months and was paid out straight away.

    Seem's to be a Quidco issue maybe?

    I went for a mobile broadband sim in July, hoping for £90 Quidco cashback.
    At the time Vodafone site gave me a free PAYG phone, which seems to have triggered an extra £5 cashback. However I didn't activate the SIM with the free PAYG phone.

    The whole £95 is still showing as "Tracked". I wonder if I should have put some money on the free SIM to reduce the risk of not getting cashback...
