Quidco and Rpoints??

melbury

Basically I would like to know what the difference is between these two please!!

Cash, basically. Quidco give the best rates, to match them at rpoints you have to keep making a claim under HCP. (highest cashback promise). I looked at several before deciding where to place most of my business. Quidco came out top - by a long way.

I've decided to leave R points - we paid for our holiday through them but the cash wasn't honoured. It would have been a lot and I didn't realise in time to object. Quidco for me now... Moral - always keep a good eye on how you tracking is going

I just wondered because I signed up for rpoints before I had even heard of quidco. They have just made my first payment via BACS and it all seems in order - no problems. But are you saying that quidco pay a better rate? Also do quidco pay via BACS? Thanks.

Yes and yes! Just have a look at the rates on the really BIG cashbacks, like insurance etc. Quidco's rates are embarrassingly better, really.

Edit: Examples:

Barclays Home/Car Insurance - Quidco £125 rpoints £65!
Prudential Home/Car Insurance - Quidco £100 rpoints £40!
LloydsTSB Car Insurance - Quidco £120 rpoints £70!
Zurich Car/Home Insurance - Quidco £80 rpoints £30!

etc etc....

I'm with Rpoints, i can get the same cashback as Quidco and other places, this means i dont to have different accounts for the best cashback each time, i just put in a claim all have been honoured without problems i have recently chaimed for 4x Barclays for example , all my purchases have been tracked and payout is very quick, if you choose Amazon vouchers they arrive instantly via email

You shouldn't have to put in a claim to get the highest cashback, though. Why not just pay out 100% of what the affiliate network gives them, like Quidco do? And I've just had a total of £24 paid per easymobile sim, made up of the original £8 cashback, a £11 bonus and a further £5 bonus. I'm fairly sure in this instance rpoints would have paid just £8 in total even after an HCP claim?

Ive never had a problem with tracking at Rpoints so feel no reason to jump ship as long as they have the HCP, i can do daily clickthroughs for money not sure Quidco have these (cant check as cant connect to Quidco seems to be down)

Each to their own, I suppose. I have also never had any tracking problems with Quidco and I just like the ethos of the company. For example, I have pet insurance from MoreThan and had the cashback paid to me ages ago. They must have hit some sort of sales target as there has just appeared in my account another £10 cashback relating to the pet insurance. Seriously, how many other cashback sites would have said nowt about this and just pocketed it themselves?

And if EVERYBODY did as you and claimed HCP, would rpoints still be able to carry on trading? On their current business model, it wouldn't be possible.

Not at all! It stands for Highest Cashback Promise and if you search rpoint's site you should find details regarding it. I'm surprised they don't mention it in their sign up email? :rolleyes:
