My word of warning to anyone thinking of signing up or continuing to use Quidco.
I along with many students signed up due to it sounding good and the recommendation of a mutual fellow student. But we have been notified by the person who referred us that we are all blocked - including him. Our crime - we used Clicksnap to get the free items. That's it. Nothing more than that. At least that is what we have been told by our facebook referral (another student - and I know him and he is sound) - heard nothing from Quidco. Not a thing. Just tried to log in and it is blocked. Having looked at the last few pages, I am glad I did not use it for any large commissions - although some other students are owed about £50. But of course, they may not be aware of the issue due to the lack of communication.
Seems that if it is used for using Clicksnap and just getting the free items - of which I am sure they will be paid - they will close the account. So beware when you buy the "free" cider, "free" Xmas choccys, "free" dog food (and no, although we are students it did go to the local dog charity and not for sandwiches), they can shut you down but by clicking their fingers (or mouse in this case).0 -

So is this because u didn't use quidco for other things like retail shopping or insurance type cashback. I would then say, go for std membership which is free and make one transaction. Buy something and get it tracked and then u can always return it.0 -
can I suggest that you try messaging them through facebook to ask what the situation is with your account - don't go into specifics, just say you cant access it and you wondered if there was a problem? They are usually very approachable, Ive contacted them a few times this way.
can I assume that you all have different names and all have different current accounts? I am wondering if you all live in one shared house - say 6 students with one address - I wonder if that has been flagged up? If so it might be better to use your home address rather than your student time address.
also even if you are not buying anything it might be better to occasional log on and click though to a shop so at least your account looks like its active.nickhendricks81 wrote: »My word of warning to anyone thinking of signing up or continuing to use Quidco.
