Quidco question.........?

Hi everyone,

just signed up for something thru Quidco, looked on my quidco account and it says no transactions currently tracked, how long from the moment you sign up for something, is a transaction tracked?


cheers

    It's not instant I know that much - best to check in 24hrs I reckon

    Yes - 24 hours.

  • Some track instantly, others don't. I don't think there is any reason for this, just how it works.

    Don't panic, you can always log it as 'untracked' or whatever the correct term is and from my experience, most have been resolved fairly quickly.

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
  • If you go back to the list of quidco and click on the site it gives you a rough idea of the average tracking time, how reliable the tracking from that site is plus payment time.

    You might want to have a read through this quidco thread it might help you understand the process better as lots of people, myself included, get a bit confused with it at times.

    I can't think of any drawbacks of using quidco, but if you are only going to use it a couple of times you need to be aware that once the money has been paid they will deduct the £5 admin fee. So you need to make sure you are going to earn more than that.
    I used it for my central heating cover, new bank account and countless cd's/dvd's over the xmas period.

    I was sceptical at first, but now I have £80+ waiting for release, I'm well happy :j :j

    It certainly pays the most generous cashback - I'm more than happy with them.

    I heard people use the term 'clickthrough' - i assume this doesn't work the same way as pigsback does? You have to buy stuff via quidco, don't you?
