    Very good GT! :rolleyes: :p

    Just to bore you some more I've actually paid out £6,569.41 to my debts in the last 8 months but £971.73 was in interest! :eek:

    Which means I have reduced my debt by £5,597.68 or £699.71 a month! :D

    So if I carry on at this rate by my 1 year anniversary (ahhh :p ) my debt will be down to £25,871.48 :rolleyes:

    My target though will be to get it below £25,000 by 1st October! :j

    I think your feeling is right.

    Go to Earnings - it'll say "tracking" next to it (in terms of time, think how long is a piece of string!), then it'll move to being Validated (by the supplier) or something similar, then it'll move into the Received column (that's received by Quidco) - you'll get a month in the Scheduled column then (when it's scheduled to pay you)...and I'm now at the stage of just waiting for them to pay me...all £27.71 of it!

    Don't forget your first £5 they keep for their fee.

    Hope you cleared cookies, down-graded security before you did your purchase...my A&L £50 didn't track! Should have read their newbies bit first and done a small cashback one to start with :mad:

    Oh f***! It's blank under "earnings"! :eek:

    Does that mean it hasn't worked or does it take a while to update? Only did it today! :doh:

    Don't panic Mr Mannering :rotfl:

    Go and look at the supplier page - on the right hand side it'll tell you the tracking speed - it can take from 1 day (they class as fast) to 5-6 days (their version of slow) to show up.
    Back on the DFW Wagon:

    CC - £3,300 on 0% til 04/2020
    CC - £4,500 on 0% til 02/2019
    Loan - £12,063.84 as at 4/1/18

    Forget about it for a few days then take another look. If nothing, pop a query up on the Quidco thread. Can't remember which MSE board it's on though! Not much help really, am I?!

    Well I'm still living at home with the folks (sad I know :rolleyes: ) so only pay £250 for rent, utilities and food! ;)

    Am also looking at a decent payrise in the not to distant future where I maybe able to pay an extra £500 a month! :j
