    Nothing to do with quidco etc, Sky will decline orders made this way, then get you to phone them thus meaning no cash back

    You cant blame sky. If a cash back site is offering a deal it cant give then its them to blame, not sky

    Wrong, Sky must have entered in to an agreement with the cash back site, it is Sky at fault here.

    Right I have just placed another order going through Quidco, a friend gave me a voucher for half price, so we will see how this goes, no confirmation email as yet.

    Sounds a bit naughty of Sky... I am very interested in this thread though. Because if I ever considered going with Sky I would definitely want the cashback!
    I always wanted to be a procrastinator, never got round to it...

    It's not usually possible to use a voucher in conjunction with Quidco as it will negate the cashback. It will normally make this clear before you click through though.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Has it tracked on Quidco though?
    From the Quidco Sky page:

    This merchant does not pay cashback if any voucher is used HD + HD Pack and Sky+HD Box Starter Pack transactions will track in at lower rates but be uplifted to the correct amount.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Ah well then it should go through then if no cash back is involved.

    The transaction will go through, but it won't track or validate. Depends whichis worth more-the voucher or the cashback?

    I got that this morning, no one phoned so I phoned them and apparently the order has been cancelled with no reason given, I'm starting to believe Sky are a bunch of crooks, advertising what they can't deliver
