Cashback article discussion

TDC_2

Likewise I use firefox for doing daily clicks without any issues at all. I actually had more issues when I originally used IE.

I am returning to UK and will probably require PlusNet. I will not have any internet when I arrive so how can I take advantage of the Quidco cashback (if I can work out how to do it). I can use a computor at a library but will not have an internet account of my own until I sign up with PlusNet for an internet account (a chicken and egg situation). Has anyone ideas please? Hope this question makes sense.

Has Freefivers gone for good? This message has been showing for a couple of weeks now when you try to click through for a cashback link:

I'm with freefivers as well. Looks very much to me like they have gone kaput,like many other sites. I am owed 20 odd quid on there & i am not happy about loosing it as most of that came from a transaction i did through them. This situation with cashback sites just ripping people off is really starting to annoy me now as i have lost out on a couple of hundred pounds in money owed to me by sites that have either disappeared or ignore all attempts to get payment from them. Surely this can't be right & something needs to be done to regulate cashback sites.

My recommendation is to avoid wepromiseto.

I recently spotted an offer which paid £17 there. It also paid £17 on their sister site greasypalm...which is an old 50% site.

I queried this and was fobbed off. I then investigated the link, found the affiliate network and details that £34 commission is paid.

I queried this further (in the meantime other 100% sites took up the offer - and paid £34) and was again fobbed off without an answer to my specific question.

I emailed a quick query to the affiliate network asking if *any* site was paid £17 and the answer was no.

In my latest help ticket update I told them so, stating I no longer believed their 100% promise and was told.......... Try using www.quidco.com thay [sic] pay more!

I can understand they may be tired of difficult questions but all the details I have indicate to me they are paying only 50% of the commission ....which given the statements made on their site, and indeed the name of the site seems a little "off".

I've noticed several instances lately where greasypalm/WPT pay the same, and it's much less than other cashback sites.

I visited Freefivers again today and they seem to be up and running again with a brand new site. Sadly most the free stuff, ie Gumtree clickthroughs, seem to have disappeared. Shame as I'm on £19 and am waiting til I get to £25 as it's too much like hard work these days.

I noticed freefivers was up and running again. Unfortunately the seem to have completely finished doing any daily cashback "clicks" so unless you sign up to an offer on there you will never get your cashback. I am actually only a few pence short of a payment threshold but without daily clicks i won't be able to achieve this. Also a worry is the list of "pending" transactions i have on account that are over 12 months old. Rediculous to be honest.

freefivers is indeed back up but there seems to be not trace of an old enquiry I had open with them

Do you know if Quidco gives cashback when one buys the fuel tank when picking up the car? Or just on the car rental itself?
Any experience of that?

Thank you

Sorry I'm new to this and still finding the right place to post for specific things.
