    The Quidco one was a real pain to work just logging in and the anti capt, took 4 attempts to get it to work and yes we did put right code in two of us checked that and it didnt' sk odd characters to input. But it does not show the offers from what I have seen unlike the TCB version also why do we need to login for each supermarket we dont have a Asda or Sainsburys account although we do shop there especially Sainsburys

    The TCB version included Morrisons the Quidco doesnt

    Quidco's clicksnap fails for one very important reason. THERE'S NO APP

    So its Topcashback 1 Quidco 0

    Not everyone has a compatible mobile to use the TCB app. I have been using it on my iPhone with no problems until yesterday - now it just crashes making the app useless at the moment.

    Sorry, my "app" comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek. Can you uninstall and reinstall the iphone app?

    Yes but that wouldn't solve the problem. Others have reported the app crashing and the website being very slow but it is only since the fuel offer went live it has attracted a lot of members so things slowed down.

    Is shopitize only available for instore shopping? I've just downloaded the app but they don't say as far as I can see.. I do ALL my shopping online so will favour the cashback sites that are offering on online orders over those who dont. Shopitize has offers currently in my basket though!!

    EDITED TO ADD: Just seen these on their website. Does this mean if enough people request online shopping be included they will consider or that you can email online receipts to them for verification? They really dont make themselves very clear here!

    Do you accept e-receipts and Internet receipts?
    We are currently working with paper receipts. If you would like to have e-receipts and internet receipts added, please email us on Feedback@shopitize.com

    Hi Gina, we just want to thank you for pointing this out! We apologise that this was not clear enough on our website or in the app store / Google Play. We've updated our website with the description, and we'll definitely make this more clear in the app store description when we release the next update.
    Thanks again for this great input :)

    Yes I've been emailing back and forth with the cs ( who are very pleasant and are trying to help) I think the technical issues are the biggest problem to see how it should work I'd suggest you have a look at the topcashback app I believe its even on my iPad now too. They even have a service message about problems with iPhone 4S on the 6.1.1 update ( only 4s have this particular update)
    People want it to scan and then upload and not have to keep reporting receipts its too time consuming. Two of my receipts from Waitrose have uploaded and been assigned as other shops which is very odd.
    Hope you see this a constructive criticism.
