i have tried mobilechooser helpdesk but i get nothing any ideas?
I had 2 phone calls from my card company 2 minutes after I applied for the free sim card with mobile chooser asking had I signed up to a mobile contract with carphone warehouse. Id explained id used my card but nothing should have come out of my account and they confirmed nothing had.
It looks like mobile chooser is connected to carphone warehouse. But Ive just checked my quidco account and they have charged me £1, is this correct?0 -
My £25 has been declined.
I spend time this morning going through the motions of getting that free Virgin sim and entering my credit card details, and for what, nothing.
Really mad - i will be taking a clip of the quidco offer, and keeping all references. I'm not letting this one go!Mortgage as Sept 2012: £96,000

This is just usual info req or credit.
I assume as they are on Quidco they are legit, but then again there are few mobile affiliates that you can trust!!ACII and Chartered so now I can focus on learning to play my beautiful Sax. 🎷0 -

Quidco have charged you?? No this is not correct!! Sometimes companies, including mobile companies, car hire or restaurants etc put through a dummy £1 to ensure that the card is OK. This is not unusual and will/should be credited back.ACII and Chartered so now I can focus on learning to play my beautiful Sax. 🎷0 -
:mad: Mine has declined on quidco too. Don't suppose there is much that can be done about it - none of my quidco earnings enquiries have ever been paid.
