£50 cashback for credit card application

summerday

Mine hasn't tracked with Quidco either a week later. Not sure whether to submit a claim yet or wait... paperwork for the card has arrived though.

My Quidco hasn't tracked either. Submitted a claim a few days ago though (you need to have the card for this as you have to put in the last 4 numbers). Was also wondering if you needed to authorise the card first, but Quidco doesn't ask for that.

Outcome on application was they have to think about it..received card, pin and all other docs on the same day in the same post!!! Naughty! Nothing tracked on quidco so have raised a claim, nothing in letter states you have to activate the card, unless I missed that bit?

They have to think about my application too. I'm wondering if they're doing this as to make getting cashback more difficult?

aaarrrggghhh

I got mine and my credit rating is horrible. Stupidly high limit, too. Everything arrived exactly five working days after the application, no further documentation needed. Considering I had problems getting the easiest CapitalOne card 12 months ago, I don't think any of the scare stories here apply.

Got mine, pin etc.

£1,000 limit and 16.9%

TCB tracked ages ago and is pending so no issues either there.

All good really.

Suppose I'd better use it once so the cashback gets confirmed, and will keep it as they are supposed to be one of the best for use abroad (no fees etc)

Watch out for the ATM fees, though.

No need for jumping through hoops with the address after all. I got declined. No idea why.

Last year I was the only 1 out of 5 of us in a house who passed the credit check to buy a sofa on credit for 3 months, so my rating shouldn't be bad. May have to check the credit files... hmm.

EDIT: Ah. Electoral Register hasn't updated yet after living here for 2 months. Damn.

Applied last Tuesday via TCB. Application was approved, but my browser crashed on the last page when I had to digitally "sign" the agreement. Called them up and was told it had gone through OK, but they would send an agreement out for me to sign. The agreement arrived last Saturday, was returned the same day and today I have received my PIN.

Also applied for the OH. It wasn't approved and got a message saying they would write within 5 days. Got a letter on Monday asking for anti-money laundering documentation which was a bit of a problem as all bills, etc are in my name. Fortunately we have a couple of joint accounts we were able to use. Took the originals and copies to the Post Office to be Verified Sighted. At first we were told that there would be a charge of £7.15, but I insisted there shouldn't be a charge as it was the Post Office who were asking for it. She made a phone call then came back and said there wouldn't be a charge.

Documents duly stamped, signed, dated and posted back on Tuesday. Yesterday got the documents returned with a covering letter saying they had to be "Verified as Sighted". Called them up and was told that the person signing them had to write their name in full in block capitals, which the Post Office had failed to do.

Took them back to the Post Office today and they called to confirm that they could re-sign, stamp and verify the same documents with today's date. They are now ready to be sent back yet again.

TCB hasn't tracked for either of them.

submitted claim at TCB on 11th July, on ice...submitted on 13th sitting at "waiting for Topcashback" now for over 3 days...you would think with this they would be looking for these "manual" claims, bearing in mind the problem seems to exist with Quidco as well and its not as though they aren't aware of it....wonder how many Quidco and TCB claimants had to do it manually....
