    I'm encountering problems with this offer on my iPad. It states "safari tracking problems - Blinkbox". I hope they sort this out.
    Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just me?

    Try Firefox or Chrome as it suggests. (if they are available for iPad)

    Hi I experienced same problem on ipad with safari tracking problem. However just go to blinkbox and they have an offer for new members ( or new email address !). Deposit £1 and get £5 credit free. Therefore if you rent the Hobbit for £3.49 you are in profit by £1.51.

    Anyone got any idea how to get this going through Virgin TiVo?

    Not sure about TiVo, but if you have an Xbox 360 there is a Blinkbox app that you can use. (I've rented The Hobbit on my laptop, then signed into my Blinkbox app on MrD's xbox and can view it on the TV.) :)
    I'm very happy - this is my afternoon sorted :D

    Does this work? Because the T&C specifically say that it doesn't track on free Blinkbox credit. I'll do this if it works, and maybe even if it doesn't because of the bird in hand business.
    Make £2023 in 2023: (all decluttering), current total £2860 me, £330 for friends & family, £468 charity donations.

    Well mine has tracked, will see if it's confirmed.

    * I signed up for the £5 free, spending £1.
    * Went through quidco to get The Hobbit, £3.49 off my £6 credit = £2.51 left
    * Quidco tracked at £3.50 with the £1 spent, which if confirmed means my total 'earnt' will be £2.50 (with £2.51 credit left).

    Thanks OP & Lcrp53.

    Hi, I'd like to take part in this offer but I'm not currently a Quidco member. Just wondering if I signed up to Quidco would I receive the cashback from them, as they're website says that they 'retain the first £5 cashback you earn during each membership year '?

    If anyone can help I'd be really grateful. Thanks.
    :hello:
  • Yes they would take it off you though I had plenty more back so I don't mind the £5 fee

    well worth joining - I have earned £53 so far this year and that's just buying items online which I would have bought anyway!

    Definitely worth joining at least one cashback site (alternatives to Quidco are available) anyway, not just for this offer.

    My Quidco currently sits at:
    Total confirmed & paid cashback £743.82 :cool:
    Total tracked cashback £62.36 :D
