Have you signed up using a cashback site? How long did it take to track?

Sorry if anyone thinks I'm clogging up the boards! Hopefully others are finding my questions (and your answers helpful).

Has anyone signed up to Virgin Media through quidco or topcash?

I notice their cashback has recently gone up to £150 so I might sign up through them but it'll only work out as the best deal for me if the cashback tracks. I'm wondering how long it usually takes and if this would be within Virgin's cooling off period I may go for this.

    I signed up to 02 Premium BB on the 5th of Jan (via TCB), and still nothing showing :( - I've taken this up with TCB and they're waiting for a response from 02; been over a week since they tried getting in touch with them...

    I think it's pot-luck to be honest. Some tracking shows in a couple of days, some can take months.

    I've never had anything track properly with TopCashBack, I always have to raise an enquiry and it eventually tracks weeks later. I have found Quidco much more reliable for tracking.
  • I've found topcashback usually tracks fine, I use it three or four times a day and would estimate 95% tracks without a problem. The actual tracking time depends on the retailer but there should be information on tracking speeds on the topcashback retailer page.
