Co-op £60 cashback via Quidco and £100 paid by Co-Op for switch

I was hoping for an easy answer on how long to wait to get another incentive with the same bank, but of course, most will only entertain it once

However, there may be opportunities with one or 2 banks which don't specifically state that a second incentive can't be obtained if the 2nd application is made after, say, a couple of years

Opening donor accounts (with no incentives) is an easy process and I don't think I'll need any more for a while (thanks to my 15 Yorkshire accounts)

Anyone who has used Topcashback and Quidco got any view on which is the most reliable for the Coop cashback offer as both now offering very similar payments (£42 for the former and £40 for the latter though the latter's web page indicate payment likely to be quicker)? Thks.

I personally have been a Quidco fan since before Topcashback even existed, so over 10 years now. But realistically they're probably much of a muchness. Just make sure you delete your cookies before you start your "purchase" so you can be sure the tracking works.

And don't expect it to be paid quickly. I'm around a month after the date they said I'd get the cashback, and I'm still waiting for the Retailer to make a decision.

I must have just missed this one. I've just done the £40 Quidco, and £100 switch incentive. Applied a few days ago, got an email yesterday to say accepted, and paperwork on the way. Will open it, get the incentives and switch away.

Have just met all of TSB incentive criteria... just waiting on the incentive to be paid. Will probably keep that account for the 5% interest.

I'd go for Topcashback, not only do they pay a bit more but they are also faster at paying. I've made several purchases with them and received my cashback promptly. Quidco on the otherhand are so slow....all my payments have been delayed. I'm still waiting on them to pay my Co-op cashback from August.

Still waiting for COOP to pay out from my May account opening.....


It does say 6 months, fingers crossed for November pay out :-)

Interesting responses, thanks. I'm not an experienced user of either of these websites but looking at the 'stats' for the Coop deal it says for Quidco estimated payout 1 Dec whereas for TCB average is 21 weeks. Are these 'stats' generally reliable? I'm thinking I'd prefer to go with likely fastest paying one if materially different as safer to wait for cash to be received before switching away from Coop I think.

TCB is 21 weeks I am still waiting for mine... will be a good bonus when it is payable ;-)

Looks like decision has been made for me as TCB now showing only £15 whereas Quidco still £40.

As an aside, I used TCB for first ever time a couple of days ago for the Nationwide offer and signed up for the TCB Plus account trial.......the £78 payment has successfully tracked and showing as pending. Does the 5% uplift that you receive as a Plus member get added at the end when it is payable or should it be showing the uplifted amount now (£82-83)?
