Quidco and Three, Clarification?

Options

Quidco has now updated their site to reflect the new Three Mobile Tariffs, i.e. £15 Talker, £15 Texter, £20 Talker, etc.

They are now saying that the £15 Tariffs will receive £55 through quidco.

However, my understanding is that some members here purchased the new Three tariffs in the past week or so and only had £28 tracked through Quidco. Have these now been corrected?

I'm trying to decide whether to buy my second contract directly through Three, or to use the Link again. Since this line would be for my partner, I'd get £115 through Three (£55 + £60 RAF [£30x2]), and only £60 through the Link. The Link took more than a week to ship my order, but otherwise it seemed a good deal.

Can anyone clarify? Now that quidco has updated their site, should I feel confident in buying through Three directly and getting the £55?

    Still only on £28 mate, not been looked at either :(

    Might be worth you giving it a go, you could always cancel. I've just thought that maybe mine is only £28 because i'm paying half price line rental for 18 months, so £28 is slightly more than half of £55? :S

    I went ahead and bought through Three because I wanted it shipped sooner (need to port numbers) than I get rely on from the Link.

    It seems to have tracked just fine, so hopefully they'll get both of yours sorted out as well.

    Just had a look on Quidco and they have increased my original £28 to
    £82.50:eek:

    It says on their site now that my Talk £20 contract is worth £60 so where they get £82.50 from who knows.:cool:

    My cashback tracked at £82.50 until the day after my 14 day cool off period then changed to declined. I had followed all the guidelines such as using a separate browser, clearing cookies etc.

    Now I'm stuck in a contract that is going to cost me £82.50 more than I bargained for. What a bunch of crooks!

    That is the one problem with these cashback sites, you've only got their word for it that the companys haven't paid so we don't get it:mad:

    I've got one still saying "sent to merchant" from April 2006 and what can you do about it:confused:

    Mine's shot up (at the same time as the query is now ready to be processed -hmm) but yeah great! :D

    Exactly the same here. I took a £15 for life and was tracked as £55 - on the 14th day it now shows as declined on Quidco transactions. I have followed everything to details and it was a complete online transaction.
    I was going to get another contract from three but this has really put me off doing any deals with them anymore. Just hard to trust them if they are being cheeky and declining the tracked transactions just after the cooling off period of 14 days.

    Well mine has gone past the 14 days and still showing tracked....for now.

    Just this week went to get another 3 contract and you now cannot combine Quidco with RAF so what potentially was a very very cheap deal, has gone.
