You for assuming quidco is guaranteed.

So you won't be tempted to buy something a bit more expensive through them for a potential £80-100 cashback? What about false advertising and customer misleading?

Weegie, I wish I could tell you!

I just can't get anything out of them, they drive me crazy.

I don't know about a rep for Quidco, perhaps someone could put me in touch.......still looking for their postal address

You still haven't answered the question-what does it say in your Quidco account? Has it tracked, has it validated? If not then it's hardly the fault of Quidco.

It relies on basic technical expertise of the user having cookies enables so it is possible for their purchase to track, clearing cookies immediately before the purchase so it doesn;t track to a stray referral cookie from someone else you may already have. Plus you not having any unusual virus on your PC that might interfere with tracking.

Quidco can't be held responsible for deficient users, hence they are not 'guranteed' but if your PC is in good order there is no reason for it not to work 99.9% of the time :A

No, I wouldn't be. You said the important word there, "potential".

It's not false advertising, because quidco are very up front about what can go wrong. If people can't be bothered reading the info quidco provide...

Making a decision about which insurance etc to take because of CB is a gamble - most of the time it works - sometimes it doesn't. No big deal, I've still made nearly a £1000 from CB but I always accept that it's never guaranteed. Quidco are under no obligation to pass the money on to you (sounds like the merchant hasn't paid anyway)

I waited over 8 months to get my coop insurance CB of 70 quid from quidco, it should have been 75 though, perhaps the 5 pounds difference was their fee,

over a few years, I've had ~750 paid and ~15 declined. only ever had to raise one enquiry, which Quidco sorted and I got paid the next month.

and the 15 declined was validly declined (e.g. cashback on first order but used the link more than once as tend to autopilot via quidco )

So you are saying that them admitting in their reply to my query that the merchant did not pay and that they will try but the merchant can still refuse to pay is a deficiency on my behalf in using 'cookies'. You are also saying that the guy who they've claimed was using the German website (even though he states this is untrue) and the thousands of others that don't get their cashback (just look at the plethora of forums discussing this and the 'cookies' issues and excuses made by quidco) are also deficient. I know very well that Quidco is not guaranteed, have used them for years and know how to use a computer -thank you very much- but finds it extremely annoying when retards try and justify Quidco and the likes taking them and others for a ride. If quidco admits that certain merchants are not paying then they should stop advertising for them (full stop).
