Argo / Quidco cash back

This is probably really old, but it didn't come up in a search, so.........

QUIDCO give 1.5% back for internet orders, or £1 back for completed shop* collections, from Argos.
I'm not sure if it works, because it takes some time for the cashback to appear in your account, however......

I bought four items from Argos yesterday, total spend £66.
If I'd ordered through Quidco for home delivery that would have been 99p cashback.
Instead I bought each item separately, and reserved them for shop* collection. Took some time to do because I deleted cookies and signed out and back in to Quidco between each order.
I checked my Quidco account just now and four transactions from Argos are on there, so that's £4, or 6%, cash back (maybe).

The way it will work best is on low price items, ie, buy something for £1, and if you get the £1 cashback........

Hope it works.

*I say shop, but a hastily constructed, sectional steel, prison like warehouse standing in the middle of a windswept car park built on industrial waste ground, overlooked by more warehouses, dock cranes and a new housing**, isn't really a shop now is it ?

**I say housing, but if a wooden frame, brick fronted, shared access, hastily constructed, shoebox that barely meets the N ratings and has walls made of recycled*** paper is a house then I'm a bloody Kangeroo. Tie me down someone.

***I like recycled.

    I did the same yesterday ,ordered 6 items seperatly with different collection number .
    you have to remember to put your collection numbers when you have collected your items on quidco or you will lose the £1 per item cashback.

    From Quidco T&C's:

    "3. You can reserve and collect as many products as you like but will only receive cashback on one order per customer per day."

    Therefore to get 4x £1 for 4 items you'll need to go to Argos on four different days and pick them up separately, seems like a lot of effort to make 3 quid extra to be honest!

    Don't know where you got 6% from either!
  • I thought the cashback was only paid on one order per customer per day???
    If I could cheat, I'd skip to the end and decide if it's worth going through with
    :D

    £4 is 6% of £66.

    Nothing funny about that. Or thit.

    Didn't know about the one per day thing, or the reservation number thing either. I'll go and put the numbers in now. Unless it's gets to be too much "effort".

    Just been to Quidco, damn it, gotta remember to read those Ts and Cs !

    OK fair enough.

    I don't think typing the numbers in is much effort (I did it yesterday!). But if you want to get more than one £1 you have to make multiple visits on different days which is too much effort unless your local Argos is extremely convenient to you!

    Plus worse still, at the moment you'd be worse off as your £66 would earn you a free £5 voucher, but if you buy it as separate transactions you wouldn't qualify so you'd still be £2 down!
