    They only pay out when the card is activated. Follow the instructions as above and it works. Mine has validated in full after I phoned that free call number. If you activated the card then it is possible you may have accessed the site prior to using Quidco. Always clear the cookies in your browser to avoid problems as if you have a tesco mobile cookie already it won't track to Quidco. This is the case with most merchants on most cashback sites. Run something like CCleaner to ensure the cookies are flushed completely. http://www.ccleaner.com/

    I've never had any other payment declined on Quidco so I don't think cookies is my problem. I just mentioned it because things do happen and don't 100% rely on it.

    I did activate it and I'm a Tesco Mobile customer because their Lite Tariff was perfect for me.

    Hi all, grab this one quick

    Via Quidco, you get £4.50 cashback for activating a tesco free sim card.
    http://www.quidco.com/tesco-mobile-free-sim/

    I ordered the sim and the packaging mentioned dialing a number to register the sim for extra credit when you top up (the tv advertised triple credits). This is a free call which can be done straight away. Now here is the crux, this call activates the sim and triggers the cashbask. No spend required.

    For Tescos benefit, this sim triple credit deal seems great and hopefully they'll get enough new customers not to close this loophole, but grab it quick whilst its there. :A

    Regards to all

    Can you give us the phone number?

    My Tesco Sim has not tracked since ordering it 3 weeks ago - activated it today, this thread reminded me!

    Jamster has tracked already.
