    I started ordering from Ink club but noticed the page where you submit your card details was not https just http. It's got a verisign certificate but I chose not to risk it for £9

    Anyone else think it is ok?

    They rejected my card, found out my transfer was a bit slow, but haven't charged me a penny, as I watched this carefully.
    They interestingly dont ask for the CV2 number.

    It'll take 2 weeks to be processed
    And a month to hear back
    MINIMUM

    It may come while your waiting though.

    I signed up for gala bingo last night & deposited my tenner. Played a few games of bingo (how boring does it get!) I did win £2.50 so can't complain too much. They gave me a £5.00 bonus so though I would have a go at deal or no deal. All in all, spent the £15 and won £4.

    As I laid in bed last night (like you do) a thought occured to me. If you HAVE to spend the £10 to get the £30 from Quidco and can only withdraw your winnings (hopefully I'm right on that point?). All you have to do is play 10 games of deal or no deal at £1 per game. You pick your boxes the first time round and when the telephone rings the banker offers you money ~ deal or no deal ~ say deal. The most they offered me was £1.05 and I think the least was 70p. Well, that would be winnings wouldn't it? You would then break even (nearly) with your tenner and may even be up if you played your bonus fiver in the same way? Then surely you can with draw your winnings?

    Would that work or do I just not get Gala Bingo :o:D


    I can't see any reason why it wouldn't, I did something similar, although sounds like it wasn't quite as good a return as yours - I got bored of playing Bingo so went to the slot rooms and played Sheerluck Holmes.
    I kept pressing the 'Bet 20' button (i.e. 20p a spin), and between every other game and 2 games in 3 I'd 'win' somethhing back, most commonly around 14p, sometimes 6p, sometimes 30-odd p.

    I kept a note of every penny that I'd won and at the end withdrew just the total of my winnings, about £2.30 on £4bet, which it let me do. I then went back and did the same with my bonus £5.
    When I showed my bf it, he got about £12 back off his £10 bet!

    Is this possible?

    I am a current regular user of Quidco, although I have never had a credit card in my life. Here's my plan:

    1) Sign up for credit cards with American Express, Nectar, Egg and Post Office.

    2) Wait for the cards to arrive, but don't use them (don't worry, I won't be tempted!)

    3) Wait for the cashback to come in (around £120)

    4) Cancel the cards and enjoy the cashback

    What I want to know is, if the above is possible without any comeback on me. Would there be any hidden fees etc or could it really be that simple? Apologies if any of this sounds stupid but I am a complete novice when it comes to credit cards!!
    Forget the chicken and the egg, what do you use to plant seedless grapes?

    Hi Daz, I think it affects your credit rating but I don't know what happens when your credit rating is affected? Does anyone know what happens? If it is affected, can you put it right again afterwards?

    Sorry Vanda,

    I forgot to day that that was the part I have checked out. Apparently your credit rating isn't affect by simply owning but not using credit cards, which is effectively what I would be doing.

    What I mean is, would I have to pay any fees if I cancel the cards (once I have the cashback) even though I won't have used any of them for anything?
