quidco-have i understood this correctly

Both building and contents are up for renewal.
Got quote for buildings of £95 from Directline and £81 for contents from LTSB.
Now if I go through Quidco, will I recieve £100 from DL and £120 from LTSB, thus getting my insurance for free and them giving me £45 for my custom.

    Sorry this is slightly off topic but I had to mention this as my bloods still boiling!

    I called Direct Line at 4.30pm to amend our car insurance policy and went straight on hold with all the usual crappy messages about the importance of the call etc etc
    But when it gets to five o'clock it seems its not so important as they shut! I got a message saying sorry office now closed and the line went dead. Hows that for customer service?

    I think i'll be looking for a different insurer next time.....:rolleyes:

    This is my experience of Quidco - They outperform in the amount of cashback, but seriously underperform in paying it!

    If rpoints have the same offer, but less £££, I always use rpoints, then use their 'Highest Cash Back Promise' which pays the equivalent amount instead!

    So, you get the ££ of Quidco, but the payment speed of rpoints....

    It's a win-win!
