Vodafone has disappeared from Quidco

mulerider

A few days ago Vodafone were offering £90 cash back on a contract sale. There is now no sign of Vodafone on Quidco apart from Vodafone Business. I guess they have withdrawn the offer due to the Blackberry Storm release tomorrow.

Not good

They're still on topcashback!

The £90 cashback is still on Quidco and also Cashbackkings.

I have a earnings query open with Quidco, as after five months they still have not validated the £90. There reply is:-

Your Vodafone transaction has still not been validated by the appropriate affiliate network and we are working closely with them to resolve all outstanding transactions. We apologise for any frustration caused and we aim to have this resolved for you soon. Kind regards, Francis. Quidco Member Support.

I'll update when they pay, if I never reply again it is because they never paid.

It's been 8days since my account was approved by Vodafone, but I still haven't received my sim card. Do they normally take this long?

Quidco make me nervous these days, the service is a shadow of what it used to be. I've had an Npower switch track and validate 9months ago and I still haven't had any cashback from it. I get the same response as above. In total I have just under £200 outstanding from Quidco. If this Vodafone one doesn't come through, I'm jumping ship.

If this is the case I feel it should no longer be recommended here, what's your thoughts?

Bit odd that, when I applied for my sim, Quidco tracked the day after. All of last week it was showing as tracked at £90 on my account. I checked yesterday and it had disappeared. No declined nothing. Just a Vodafone transaction with purchase as £0 and cashback value as £0.

I too have logged an enquiry, which is pending. If after the 60day period it doesn't become tracked, I'm jumping ship, I'll leave vodafone and stop using Quidco. Quidco owe me quite a bit now, (just under £200) and one of the transactions has been validated since March. When I query it all I get is the standard response that they are looking into it.

Quidco used to be brilliant, but these days it's really gone down hill. Merchants are leaving in droves and the tracking has become so hit and miss, particularly on the big deals like Vodafone.

Not sure you can leave Voda, not after 60 dys anyway it's too long. Your cashback was with Quidco not Voda. The sale commision (which is what you are getting) is a contract between Vodafone and Quidco not you. Just like the if the phone is lost, stolen, broken, then you cannot use a cashback (or not) to get out of a contract. Most recent time this happened was when Cool New Mobile went under Voda do not have to do anything you agreed to a contract with them at £x a month for 12/18/24 months. They may reduce prices as a good will gesture but thats at their discretion.

I had my phone from CNM on a cashback (I knew the risks, and I'm not after sympathy), it was on a £35 a month contract, I never got my cashback and after a few calls Vodafone reduced the line rental to half price but they also renewed the contract for 12 months, they are unlikely to cancel a contract if you don't get a cashback from someone.

Voda should disappear alltogether.........." now yes Mr Diamonds we cannot provide the plan you signed up for its not technically possible on our billing system, are you going to pay the remaining balance to end your contract ? "

me " erm...no, you failed to provide the plan as via our T&C, thus the contract is VOID "

Voda " ok well we will pass the account to a debt collection agency, bye "

I think there's a mix up here. My contract is a 30day sim only plan so I can leave with 30days notice. I understand that Quidco and Vodafone are two separate elements. The point I was making was the pending transaction / enquiry I have made about my Vodafone transaction via Quidco has an SLA of 60days. The minute the 60days expires, and a resolution has not been reached, I will serve notice on the contract to Vodafone, thus limiting my exposure to the failed cashback deal with Quidco.

I like many others are tarting this deal, as in my opinion the only appealing aspect of this deal is the £90 cashback. Beyond that the minimum £15 deals which qualify for the cashback deal are not particularly appealing. In my circumstances the o2 £15 simplicity tarrif is more suitable, however the £90 cashback with Vodafone make their deal more palatable for the time being. So to surmise and clarify, the 12/18/24month logic bares no relevance to my post.

I do however acknowledge that my posts in this thread do not necessarily say that the product I bought was a 30day sim only monthly contract.
