    I went with screentrade (a sub of Lloyds tsb) via quidco, did everything to the letter and got £20 for my trouble not the advertised £120!! I did the whole ticket thing on the site and dispite many emails...no joy! The words bargepole and not touch with spring to mind for me!!
    Hope you have better luck.
    Debt free = December 2010...as of March 2006 it is now January 2010..... as of December 2008 it is now December 2009 :j hopefully sooner!!
    :jDEBT FREE:j January 2012, took longer but I got there, all by myself, through sheer hard work and pride!

    I have applied for the house insurance, the £120 has validated, not yet received, it was early last month.

  • Hi Jammiev - I got my car insurance through Lloyds TSB via quidco towards the end of June - no sign of the £120 yet.

    No experience of Lloyds TSB but have used Barclays and Prudential through quidco and both were paid out after 3 months.

    I had no problem last year, tracked within a day and got paid after 3 months.

    Best thing is to buy your car insurance at least 2 weeks before the policy start date. If it doesn't track after 2 days, cancel the policy completely without incurring any charges, then re-apply.

    mine has validated but I only did it last week and cover isn't due to start for another 3 weeks so I presume I won't get the money for a while yet although the average payment time on Quidco says 1 month....

    as with all cashback go by the value of the item itself and count any cashback as a bonus - don't just take out insurance if you can get a cheaper quote elsewhere. For me the quote was comparable to the cheaper quotes I'd got so I'm not losing out if I don't get the £120 and if I do then I've basically halved my insurance costs.

    I tried this in Feb 2007 and had no problems with it. It was a cheap quote to start with, so I was over the moon with the £120 Quidco!
    Hope this helps :D

    I should add that I purchased my car insurance in mid Feb 2007!!.....nearly 6 months ago, and have been basically ignored.
