Can I use Uswitch (via Quidco) to sign up to Primus, Call1899 and Call18185

Hi all,
This is both a Quidco and home phone question so I hope I chose the right pace to post it.
I wanted to ask a quick question about Quidco and their refferal system to Uswitch for home phones.
Quidco says that they pay £8 cashback if you sign up to a home phone provider via Uswitch. I was going to do this to set up a Primus account, but Uswitch also have the an option to create Call1899 and Call18185 accounts.
Do you think I can also get £8 for setting up each of these accounts?
Thanks

Sorry - not an answer but another (related) question. On the USwitch site it shows Primus Saver Option 2 as costing 3.95 pounds a month, yet the Primus website seems very clear that there is no monthly charge. Has anyone else encountered and/or resolved this discrepancy?

Primus use to charge but its now free if you sign up via them. See http://www.planet-talk.co.uk/SaverProducts.aspx?source=saver

When I signed up via uswitch in November it showed as free. I've just had a look at uswitch and it still says free;

Primus

Yet when you go to the comparison it shows up as £3.95

I'd sign up directly with them as pricefighter suggests.

Funnily enough I noticed exactly the same discrepancy! Although as the link in jem16's post shows is also says its free. I called U Switch and someone is supposed to be calling me back with an answer - not heard back yet.....will let you know what happens; after all £8 for signing up through quidco might be there for the taking....:)

As it does on their own website.

Thanks FBRJ. I've been waiting to find out about this. Please let us know.

I also emailed Quidco's customer services but have heard nothing back yet. I'll post again if/when I get a reply.

Uswitch have now responded to my query (asking why the 'comparison' part of their web-site shows Primus Saver Option 2 costing 3.95 pounds per month). Their reply states:

Thank you for contacting uSwitch.com with your enquiry.

The information that we present on our website comes directly from the Primus Pricing department. Please call Primus Telecom on 0800 036 3839 to discuss this in more details as they may need to amend their website.

So I'll now contact Primus directly and see what they say.
