    Send a letter stating you do not have access to a cheque book and also send a photocopy of your passport.

    That is what I did and I got accepted.

    Hope this helps.

    When I go to the Citibank page on the QuidCo website and click the link it doesn't actually work :( Just get a blank page up and it doesn't do anything. I've tried this on IE and Opera, both the same.

    Anyone else having the same issue?

    Yes it will still track, it will show as £1.00 and fingers crossed it will soon be £50.00
