    I think they used to get cashback even though their journey was cheaper than £7 (which is a limit imposed after this).

    Yes thats correct, as i said i always went through quidco, the other poster did say to go via top cash back - but wonder how long till they have to change their offer!

    Ah well it was good while it lasted!

    lol i think how many did you order i only ordered once

    4
    I actually meant to order 2, but then I read it wouldn't track if you didn't pick them up, so I had another go & ordered 2 in the post.
    Im kind of pi**ed off now, as myself and my OH regulary go to birmingham and via birmingham and because of our railcards tickets only cost us £2.80 return, as we were getting £4 originally we were very impressed and brought them in advance as opposed from the fast ticket machine! Well to the people who decieded to abuse this generous offer from Virgin - thanks a lot you've gone and spoilt it for the rest of us!

    I hope your pleased with yourselves and that your multipul bookings all fail to pay out!!

    Firstly, I do use the rail system & book in advance when I can to save money. This won't change because of this offer..lots of companies offer savings for booking in advance..the train line, East Midlands, etc etc. We really haven't spoilt it for anyone & if you're making a genuine booking there's no problem.

    It's like saying you shouldn't try a free sample of chocolate offered in a supermarket as it involves breaking up a bar that a genuine buyer "might want".

    I've never thought of using Virgin before for pre-booking, now that I'm aware I may just do so...(again..;))

    I ordered 2, haven't had an email from Quidco yet tho! Has everyone had one?

    If they contact me, I'll just say it was a fair cop and hold my hands up, and hope that they don't get mad at me. :o

    It's tracked so might pay out, might not. I don't mind either way for 80p!

    If Virgin do not take at the time of booking, why would they need this?

    Also if you booked a ticket for a child, 5-15yrs travelling alone(to school?) as if you would let some guy called mark know that felicity aged 14 is travelling at 06:37 on the 20th of December alone!

    Madness!
    didnt think of that seems odd to me
