    Just ordered my SIM. Thanks for the heads up :T

    So all you have to do is make a phone call to activate the SIM and your £4.50 cashback is triggered?

    Yep. If you look on the packaging it tells you to call 282 to register for the advertised triple credits. This is a free call which requires no credit on the sim. Dial 282, select to register the sim for triple credit and you have activated.

    It looks as if Tesco affiliates update the Quidco site validations every 2 weeks, so allow this long before expecting to see it change from £0.00 to £4.50
    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

    Thank you very much have just ordered one through Quidco and will try doing another through Top Cashback :)

    Was thinking about getting a Tesco mobile card for entering text comps because of the extra credit deal they run so this has given me the push I needed.

    Please follow the instructions already posted to activate the sim.

    As previously posted, once activated, it can take a couple of weeks afterwards before the amount validated changes to £4.50
    If you have followed the instructions on clearing cookies, only visiting the tesco free sim site from the link in the cashback site and are not already a tesco sim customer, then it will validate correctly in the time scale already mentioned
