New to Quidco - Query

Hi all

I've just joined Quidco on the advice /insistance of several DFWs.

I decided to join Mecca bingo through it as it says it will pay £30 for a £10stake. I joined through the quidco link and deposited my £10 (I haven't played it yet).

In the meantime back on the Quidco site it says £0 from Mecca tracked then £0 from Mecca declined???

I don't belong to any other blue square or hard rock sites (only butlins st miniver and takeabreak which says it is Virtue fusion).

Anyone know why else it would be declined or if I play the £10 will it change and earn me my £30? Disappointed as its my first go on a cashback site.

Any advice/similar experience?
Thanks

  • That happened to me as well, Tixy, no idea why. I played the £10 straight away and afterwards I had three entries - £0 tracked, £0 declined, £30 tracked. I don't want to encourage you to go ahead in case it doesn't work, though :confused: as it is a bit odd.

  • Bingo was my suggestion - now I feel bad. I would remove your money from Mecca if it says declined cshback - and then you haven't lost anything. Just to be on safe side.

    I've just had a look and I think you actually have to play your £10...

    Thanks for the quick responses all. Don't feel bad Caroline -I'd have joined Mecca anyway, as I wanted to find something to earn on straight away!

    I think I'll risk playing it and hope that at that point I get my cashback like Andromache. Did you play yours all at once or gradually?

    Now i've just gone further into the Mecca site and it says "powered by virtue fusion" the same as takeabreak does- and it does look similar to takeabreak. Anyone know how I can find out if takeabreak bingo is one of blue square /hard rock before I start playing?
