    Don't hold your breath for Quidco cashback, I activated last April and still haven't received it. It shows as validated and have even been given payment dates for it but each month it just gets pushed back a month! Chasing this up with Quidco has got me nowhere, 'we are aware of this and are working on it' is the stock reply! Have asked several times why they continue to run the deal on Quidco if people are not receiving the cashback, again the stock answer 'we haven't been paid so can't pay you'. I think they are afraid to pull the offer and upset Tesco as that would risk never receiving payment, and Quidco must be owed an awful lot by now.

    I have informed Quidco that I have posted this and they haven't mentioned any problems. Quidco are sometimes a bit slow to pay out, indeed I currently have 2 large payments unpaid but they are 'sorting' mine too. Generally, they do pay out and it can't hurt for others to add this cashback to their accounts. It has no outlay, no spend requirement, and as previously posted by another, the triple credit deal is actually quite good. If they don't pay you lose nothing, but presuming that these do go through it is still 'money for nothing' (apart from a bit of keyboard typing) :)
    Freebies you don't really need can be given to your local Hospice Charity shop so they can raise funds they desperately need. Pass on your good fortune :A
  • Done it to 4 different addresses (mine, families, my neighbours, and family's neighbours. :)

    Now to redo it on topcahsback, and then thats £36 free cash for me! :D

    +o2 also offering £1 cashback for free sim, so extra £8 from that.

    sorry to sound thick :D but have you ordered 4 sim cards through your one quidco account just sent them to different home addresses??? just really new to quidco and am slightly confused lol. could do with another sim for my dd so can i go through my quidco but sent it to mums house??

    thanks

    Hi

    I'm also new to cashback sites. Have done all 5 free sims on Quidco and they are all tracking :) so fingers-crossed and thank-you very much OP

    I notice that some of you have also done them on TopCashback. Now.......do I have to clear my cookies first and if so am I okay to do that now the 'purchases' have tracked?

    Thanks in advance

    Incidentally, because I'd not used the Quidco account until this morning, I had an email from them advising me of the following:-

    You may already be aware of this one.......but if not then it may be of some use to someone

    No problems with cancellation (you can do it online after 10pm so no hassle to stay on from a salesperson), it's just trying to get them to pay out that's the issue!!
