Just received a newsletter from Quidco, offer ends midnight on Friday, £165 for a new cable package of "broadband, phone and/or tv." Website doesn't seem to have been told about the deal yet, but worth checking back later if interested.

    I also received this email from Quidco tonight....which states

    "Exclusive record-breaking £165 cashback from Virgin Media. Starts 9am Tuesday 21st.

    "Virgin Media has pulled out all the stops by offering the highest rate ever seen on Quidco for cable packages. At a massive £165 cashback for taking out any cable package (broadband, phone and/or TV), you’ll be paying just £17.25 per month! Ends midnight Friday 24th. "

    The email gives this link....but as OP stated it has not yet been updated with the offer.....look again tomorrow morning after 9am

  • Would this offer work if you ordered only broadband meaning it would cost only £100 for 12 months for 10Mbps (First three months £15, next 9 £20 plus £40 installation charge)?

    £8.33 pm


    I live pretty far from the BT exchange so 10Mbps would be enough for me. :T

    Yes it would but you have to be a new Virgin customer. If you've got existing Virgin points in your house you can opt for £20 self install. Works out at £6.66!!

    I've just done this as luckilly we get disconnected on Friday, Couldn't get a good deal but now if the Quidco pays out I've got 10 meg bb and M+ tv with the sky sports pack for a few pence less than £30! Signed up in my name as it was in the other halfs before :)
  • quidco are not fullproof either wiwthin the last two weeks two different purchases have been made, one with dixons, the other littlewoods both have failed to track.

    i would be very apprehensive about taking up such a deal
  • Mine have tracked almost instantly, never had anything track that quick before. Can't complain, 2X£165!

    I've only ever had one problem with two flights not tracking, filled in an earnings enquiry and it was sorted very promptly.

    How did you get 2x£165?
  • I was planning on signing up to virgin in the near future anyway so this is a bonus if it goes through, though ive not had much luck with large quidco amounts in the past but fingers crossed!

    I went through quidco twice, ordered the tv package in my own name and then ordered broadband using my mothers name.
