    Hi and thank you!

    I joined the basic AA for £29 through topcash back, so I will recieve £20 cashback. Then with the 2000 nectar card thingy worth £10, I have effectively been paid one pound to join!

    Happy days!

    There's also a great repair cover that the AA offer as long as your car is less than 10 years old.

    For £65, you can make up to 5 claims a year for parts and labour up to £500 each! Has to be part of your breakdown which the AA patrolman verifies;)
    One hundred years from now it won't matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little better because, I was important in the life of a child.

    I couldn't sleep so got up early, 5.30 and tried to get the cheap AA deal. I joined Quidco and followed link to AA - no cars over 10 years old for the cheap offer. I was hoping to get my 1959 frogeye covered. Ah well. Still a great site.

    I have just checked my Quidco Account. My £25 has gone straight to declined.:mad: I took it out last night.

    I don't think this cashback can be valid with the £29 cover. I Hope if I call them it can be cancelled.

    Mines showing tracked on Quidco - even shows the purchase amount of £29.40.

    Mortgage repayment = £588
    Tracker Rate 1.99% above base: 2.49%
  • Hi bootman, my £25 has tracked on the £29.40 cover (with a payment estimate date of September) so it should've been fine for you too. Contact Quidco and hopefully it'll explain why yours has been declined.
