It's not too good to be true mate.
The product/service you buy is the same as you would get on the same offer if you didn't go through Quidco. Bear in mind you run the small risk of not getting the cashback if it does not track properly, but it is valid and true!

Good Point Vindiesel,

I had my quidco discount refused because the AA claimed that I went through another site! The problem with that is, they first allocated the monies to me in quidco and then then declined it! So it must have been tracked by them. I'll be a bit more weary of the AA through Quidco in future!

Before i use quidco i always clear the computer cookies and cache before i login

to quidco to make sure that the computer does not load a cached web page of the site you intend buying from if you have previously been browsing or comparing prices on your intended purchase.

I assume that you used the Nectar bonus points code , if so Nectar have recieved the commission for refering you to the AA and have passed 50% of what Quidco would have paid you in the form of Nectar points (£10)
although you used the quidco link first , you entered the nectar referal code afterwards and commission is usually alocated to the last referer rather than the first and they are unlikely to pay twice for the referal
It is unfortunate that the quidco cashback tracked and was not declined early enough to cancel the AA membership , I am in the same position
At the end of the day we make more than we lose and I will extract the loss from Nectar / AA using other methods eg the Free eye test & Nectar points offers

how long did you wait before quidco showed the AA as tracked?...i signed up through quidco at 3pm today..no necter card here and paid through credit card but not showing as tracked in quidco yet..yet things i have bought after that have tracked ...looking to cancel in the cooling off period if not going to track

It worked fine for me, I can't remember how long it took to track though.
