    Hi

    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

    Definitely clear the cookies as that is how your cashback is tracked, by the seller (such as tesco) checking the cookies to see who the referrer was. If it finds the quidco cookie when you go through topcashback second, it will award the cashback to quidco as their cookie was first, and you won't get paid twice - use a good cookie cleaner rather than relying on deleting the cookie cache, such as CCleaner which is free
    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

    Found another free £1, by signing up for a free social networking service called Qeep - have installed it don't see any problems

    The service is here on Quidco http://www.quidco.com/qeep
    and you can use one of those free sim cards to register a mobile number in case they try to spam you:rotfl::T:T:T:T:T:T

  • 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


    Yep.

    Did 1 to my flat, 1 to my family's house, 1 to my family's house's nextdoor neighbours, and 1 to my nextdoor neighbours.

    Am going to do a few more to other apartments in this complex too though,
    as the postman knows my name and what number flat i am, and so he puts all my post in my letter box even when its addressed to a different number flat, as he knows thats just a number error. :o

    And its all within the offer's rules,
    as it says 1 per address, but theres no restrictions on the number of cards per-yourself allowed. :cool:


    Ive got all 4 sims so far, and activated 1 of them yesterday, but still not got paid any money yet, just have them all tracked at £0 still.

    Ahhh, I'm best avoiding it then. Trouble with the cancellation? Thanks for the heads-up

    Well idont want to influence you, everything might go according to plan for you but in my experience things were nt quite as straightforward as it appeared. Mind you Love Film were the first and probably only time i ordered dvd s online. I did manage to sort my account eventually and cancelled and hopefully still get the £22 off Quidco for the 2 week trial which i took up.:)
  • Ordered a Tesco Sim a week ago, it turned up yesterday but I see nothing tracking in Quidco - not even a 0.00.

    Does this mean it hasn't worked?

    I wanted a tesco Sim anyway so no great loss but annoying :-(. The O2 Sim I ordered at the same time has tracked fine (£1)

    I'm in the same boat, no tracking sim arrived today and was activated fine. If it doesn't track then another reason to drop quidco :mad:
    Currently waiting for a large insurance cash back, that is now 5 months in (was quoted at 3 until I took it out:mad:)

    My quidco tracked at £0.00 within hours of ordering, then validated at £0.00 the day after! Received the sim a week after validation, have activated it and quidco hasn't changed.

    My Cashback Kings also failed to track, tried to claim and get this
    Claims not permitted

    Sorry, but we are unable to accept claims for Tesco Free SIM (Activation). The merchant has informed us that it is impractical for them to investigate transaction queries

    If you do use it dont forget to text 282 before topping up to get £30 credit for topping up with £10.
