Hi all,

We are aware of this loophole and the program has now been suspended. We take any abuse of our merchant's or offers very seriously as it not only undermines the cashback process but also damages the relationships between us, the merchants and the networks.

We will be looking into all accounts that are found to have abused this program and appropriate action will be taken.

Regards,

Quidco

thanks for the info

Actually want to scream I have genuine tickets to purchase and they removed it as i was clicking on it! Now offer says Coming soon! -.- Id never used online booking before and this had actually made me try it!
Now im not saying that you lot shouldnt have taken advantage but it is somewhat unfair to go and book up hundreds of child seats for journeys you dont want just for extra cash, Especially when you all did it within a few hours of each other.
Dammit.
Ill just buy from the bloody station lol

aha

Thanks to all the greedy people here who abused this. I need to spend about 100 quid on train tickets over the next few weeks and this would have been handy for me.

I support all those posters who posted against this offer being abused and I hope Quidco don't pay any of you a penny, as the selfish few have ruined a good offer for the genuine people who use Virgin Trains a lot.

Please bring it back Quidco, and set a minimum spend of £30 a ticket or something.

Nope...never buy from the station, for most journeys anyway. You can book in advance with many companies & get a reduced fare.

As for now, if you want a genuine ticket, try Topcashback.

In the meantime, I sit quaking in my boots, wondering if I have abused the system. I'm not concerned too much about the cashback, although it would of course be nice, but more about my poor account. Heyho, we will wait & see. I must say though Quidco are doing the right thing.

I don't really think the post was genuine from Quidco..they have accounts on here they could use, so why bother to create a new one just for this thread. They are obviously looking into it though. Lol, I don't think I abused the system so not really worried about my account, but have my doubts about the cashback.
As others have said though, Quidco did encourage you to make multiple bookings to optimize the cashback, but obviously hadn't realized how cheaply some tickets could be bought.

Guys please restrain yourselves. As many posters originally pointed out it's only time before these companies find out (especially because of some people abusing the offer). I didn't buy any tickets as these things are never certain.

It will only be a matter of time before topcashbacks suspends this offer too. It's not worth it (especially if you are registering just for this).
