    When you dial the 282 number, can anyone let me know please which number to press to activate the card? There are 5 options but I can't figure out which number I need to select> Thanks

    bump - I'd like to know this too before I take my phone apart to put the sim in.
  • I thought that just the act of dialing 282 activated the card??

    Just dialing it does activate the card, the 282 number is for registering it for triple credit, so that's what I did to make sure that tesco register it as activated

    Many what requests - for this ? most declined transactions on Quidco and all the other cashback websites are as a result of the op not using the system correctly (i.e - not clearing cookies before the session, already being registered by the company, using the same details on different cashback sites without thinking that sending the retailer the same details from different sites might be in breach of the offers. All of these are what we regularly see on these columns.
    Yes, sometimes there are problems at the retailers end and we can report and discuss these - I have indeed slammed Quidco over the handling of 2 recent large transactions of mine, but that doesn't deter me from getting free money from these sort of loop-holes.
    This sim offer, with the others and the extras mentioned, all pay out if the op fulfills the offer in the method required by the cashback site - that is - clears cookies first, visits the site via the link, fulfills the requirement of the offer (activates the sim) and isn't already registered with those details (new customers)

    It does - mine validated by just dialling though I did select the option to register the sim for triple credit offer just to ensure that I was on line long enough to register it as a call, will post updated when paid out but see no reason why it shouldn't as it has validated

    I would have thought that would be acceptable under the terms of only x per address.
