    Sometimes takes a while to track, sometimes days or even weeks.

    I usually get an email from quidco acknowledging the transaction. Also on the quidco page for each merchant it tells you how long their tracking and payment averages times are. Go compare have a fast tracking speed, but don't seem to payout for a couple of months. Quidco used to tell you how long to wait before putting in a query, but I can't remember the timescale off the top of my head.
    Sounds like you're doing it right so far.
    You have to choose the payment level for it to go into your bank account. I have mine set at £20 - I don't know if there's a minimum payment level or what the default setting is.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
  • thanks elsien, i havent had any emails from quidco to say ive done anything, im getting confused

    Try doing a Kelkoo search - you normally get a tracking email within an hour :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Remember it may be months (depending on the retailer) before you get any money.

    Quidco do 2 payment runs a month. The minimum is £1.01 but may be set higher by yourself. Did you choose BACS payment or PayPal?
    Dave. :wave:
  • Also remember to include the £5 annual fee that Quidco charge too.

    Not that I'm bothered - I'm about £475 up this year from Quidco! :D

    Sometimes things never track & in my experience sometimes they will track & validate & you are still declined your payment............ :mad:
    What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about !!!
  • From Quidco's T&C for gocompare, "You are required to click on a company quote in order to complete the quote comparison." Did you do that. As for getting paid it took 22 months to get cash back from the RAC when I took out car insurance.
