    That Quidco £5 comes out of your earnings, you don't pay it upfront.

    What it means is than Quidco has a bank of paid skilled staff to sniff out deals, forge new relationships and source money backs on your behalf plus in my experience resolves queries very efficiently.

    Are you serious? Just put Quidco DGM into Google, and you'll find what happened recently when one of the major cashback operators had financial problems.

    Topcashback paid its members in full. Quidco didn't.

    The £5 pa Quidco take gives you absolutely no advantage over Topcashback - quite the reverse in fact. It looks after its members far better than Quidco ever can or will.

    Well, now there's a surprise, my lenor & canderel click through's haven't tracked & the paid for staff at Quidco can't investigate with these merchants.... :mad:
    Probably pocketed it for themselves, nothing surprises me with this crowd............
    What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about !!!

    I've always found that it states clearly where enquiries can't be taken, I guess the moral is if you're not prepared to take the risk, don't do the click! Once again people seem to be forgetting that this is FREE MONEY we are talking about - therefore if things don't track we're not actually losing anything!

    And before anyone starts flaming, I use Quidco and TCB for daily clicks, and don't see either as "better" - I'm just grateful for the little bit of pocket money they enable me to earn each month with no expenditure from my own pocket.

    I feel sorry for the OP on this one - start a thread to try to be helpful to others, and before you know it, it's turning into a "mine is better than yours" competition! :eek:

    Anyhow.......anhyone else noticed that HSW & Kelkoo don't seem to be registering on Quidco these last few days? Curious to know if it's just me. I seem to recall that we've had these problems in the past and then they have caught up in a rush some days later.....

    :o You win some you lose some eh?

    Kelkoo tracked and validated for me yesterday but HSW hasn't. Lenor hasn't tracked either but Canderel has.

    :o You win some you lose some eh?

    To be honest all the bickering has put me off spending anymore time checking out these deals. I'll leave it a day or two to see if this thread clams down and then I'll maybe start searching again. This Grabbit forum could get you down if you weren't strong enough. Between people giving off about Quidco and FREE money not tracking and the threads where people have taken advantage of a grabbit more than once then receive a backlash from others (who still got the same Grabbit but feel the need to give off) it's getting to the point where I'd rather just log off, read the forum, grab the bargains and not help anyone else out.

    ....it is indeed.

    But that rightly includes a discussion of the number of times Quidco has failed to pay its members what they've earned.

    They've always paid me exactly what I've earned.

    Over £875 cashback and counting ;-)

    That's a fair enough comment but this thread was intended for quick clicks to hopefully earn free money.

    Quidco may not always pay up but at the end of the day, I will chose the cheapest retailer no matter what. If they happen to be on Quidco and they do pay out a small percentage of my order total then that is a big Brucie bonus to me. We are getting something for nothing, all we have to do is click through the Quidco site to the retailer in question. It's not like we've had to fill in 10 hour surveys whilst standing on our heading reciting the alphabet backwards with a mouth full of cream crackers!
