CLOSED: Quidco Question and Answers - please see new thread

I'm currently trying to decide whether too keep my premium membership or downgrade. I get a lot less cashback than I used to and it doesn't seem as worth it any more but the one thing that might convince me to stay is a difference in bonuses and offers. Previous years the difference between normal and premium has been clear and I've been able to see that I made back more than the £5 premium fee but I'm not so clear this year.

As far as I can tell the only bonuses I've had are the £2.50 ones that have appeared recently. Does anyone know if these were just for premium accounts or for all account types?

Thanks very much in advance.

Has anyone any experience of getting quidco to match TCB?

TCB are offering 10% cashback on all sales at currys - it says exclusive.
I am looking at a macbook
Quidco is offering 1% for all purchases including click and collect.

So according to the quidco terms, it will double the difference. I.e. 10-1= 9, doubled = 18, added to the original 1%. So 19% in total.

Anything I need to look out for ?

Quidco says I need to make the purchase first using quidco then submit a claim for the difference. Slightly concerned that if they declined it, it's a lot of money.

I have an ordinary free Quidco account. I have earned six £2.50 bonuses. Does that answer your question?:)

I've recently starting using Quidco more due to their new highest cashback guarantee. Even more so since TCB have dropped the 5% top-up from many promotions!
No issues with G-Tech, but it wasn't a high cashback. Confirmed and paid quickly.
Maybe contact Quidco (via a media site as they don't reply here) and confirm, due to the value.
But, a guarantee is a guarantee.
Good luck.

DO NOT ORDER FROM CURRY'S VIA QUIDCO!!!

I purchased a laptop from Curry's via Quidco and despite 18 months of chasing it up, have been left with a rather small cashback compared to the rate offered at the time. And this was Quidco's own exclusive rate for the specific period. My purchase racked fine but took well over a year to be confirmed, and was only confirmed at a tiny rate. Even after I followed this up with Quidco, including screenshots of their rate at the time etc, they blame Curry's for not paying out the proper rate. I also contacted Curry's and they were not interested and blame Quidco for the issue.

So with neither Quidco nor Curry's interested in honouring the advertised cashback, I'd not recommend purchasing through either store in all honesty.

A good British Gas Homecare offer, especially when taking everything into account - assuming the cashback works.

https://www.quidco.com/british-gas-homecare/

£75 cashback for taking Homecare 4 @ £20.50 per month.
£100 pre-paid Mastercard from British Gas.

12 x £20.50 = £246
Minus £175 = £71
Total (assuming cashback and pre-paid card is given) = approx £5.92 per month.
Granted, you have to pay the £20.50 per month, but worth a try if you are considering this.

Credit to PaulD91 on HUKD for spotting this.

TCB have a lower offer, but no mention of the £100 Mastercard.
Lesser options available, but HC4 appears to be the best option.

EDIT: tracked in around 30 minutes at the correct £75.

I have been having problems getting onto quidco. I have tried for about 1 week now and it has been the same message (

Oops! This page is not available.

This page does not exist or can not be displayed yet.

). It partly loads but I cannot click on anything.


I have tried on various devices at home and at workplace. Still the same. I have also tried IE, mozilla and chrome and whatever the phone uses but no luck.


Anyone got any tips or advice or had the same problem?

Are you managing to use the rest of the site as normal littlewren? As for me I cannot get to my account or buy anything through quidco.
