    I recieved my first dvd yesterday but still no sign of the quidco points, has anyone who took this offer seen anything in thier quidco account?
    Not had my referel tracked in quidco either...

    Had one from HMV which I placed this morning arrive in my quidco account, but the one from LoveFilm on Saturday night is not in there... Did yours show up yet?

    All new to quidco, but looking at the details about LoveFilm, it says their tracking speed is normally fast...

    I think you'll see with these offers that your Quidco points will show up 5+ days later, or even only after the trial period has ended. This is to avoid people taking up the offer solely for the cashback incentive. G

    Cancelling: First cancel online, then return your last DVD to reach them before the trial period ends & get a Certificate of Posting when doing so.

    So basically, if they are doing it after the trial period has ended, does that mean that you need to stay with them until after the trial period???

    No, sorry for the confusion. Definitely cancel before you return your last DVD & within the trial period otherwise you'll be billed for the following period. I think they basically need you to show some 'genuineness' by completing the trial, as many I assume were cancelling on the day they received their Quidco payment/other free reward.

    From the Quidco-ScreenSelect page:

    "Earn for subscribing to a free trial sign-up. This must be your first time signing up and you must follow through to complete the trial...."

    By 'completing the trial' I'd imagine they mean just that - in this case receiving & returning FIVE DVDs.

    ScreenSelect = LoveFilm as they've now merged. G

    P.S. Also, place as many films in your wanted list - not just the minimum 10 (I put 30) - to avoid delays. What I'm saying is, if you have to go out of your way to following their rules, then do so for your own benefit - or they may bill you for the follow-on period or get you on some other minor infringement. Make sure to read all the Terms & Conditions, especially relating to the free offers & cancelling, before committing.

    Another thing has caught my eye - from Quidco-LoveFilm:

    "If you use a promotional code in conjunction with this link you may not receive your Quidco cashback....."

    So, if you used this free wine offer, you may not get the Quidco cashback. Perhaps only time will tell, so let's see what happens.

    Would be very helpful for members who've taken up this offer to return & post whether or not they received both - the wine & the cashback. G
