TopCashBack and Quidco

Options
I saw an offer for TopCashBack a few months ago so I registered; bought an item and claimed the cashback.

I have found an offer with Qudco for £30 cashback on an item I want to buy.

I assume it is ok to be a member of both Quidco and TopCashBack. Are there any connations to doing this?

I would be interested to hear from others who are members of both websites.

    You can use both, it's fine. I do it (I shop between the pair and go with whoever gets me a better deal/cashback).


    Just remember to clear your cookies before each shop to make sure that it's tracking correctly and don't buy saved things in your basket as they can sometimes not track. You need to use the link each time and shop from the link (eg not shop from a saved basket).

    I use them both but prefer topcashback as the cash back earned can be claimed in tesco points.

    I attempted to spend £30 using quidco the other day. I started the application online and finished it over the telephone. Therefore I discovered that I am not entitled to the cash back.

    Therefore I am planning to cancel the credit card and re register using quidco.Has anyone else done this before i.e. cancelled a purchase and then repurchase just to get the cashback?

    I cancelled a BT Fibre Broadband contract once when the cashback rate increased to a crazy amount the following day. It was something like an extra £100, so definitely worth it.

    Would you do it for just £30. It is the principle more than the amount.

    I registered with quidco. It now asks whether I want to be a premium or basic member. I have read this question: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4552865

    Are there any benefits of being a premium member?

    What have you got to lose by trying?

    I used Quidco to register for a Tesco credit card last Thursday. I notice that it is still not tracking. Therefore I was planning to make a claim (as it was over five days ago). I have gone here: https://www.quidco.com/new-enquiry/

    It says: " There is a possibility that your cashback could be declined and if you have the option to cancel or return your purchase, you may wish to consider doing this rather than raising the claim for missing cashback.

    If you raise a cashback claim the Quidco support team will hold this for 30 days from the purchase date. The reason for this is that Tesco Bank Credit Card for Purchases will only accept claims after this time has completed.

    Please confirm that you understand the process
    and wish to submit a missing cashback claim

    Does this mean that tracking will not take place for thirty days? Maybe to stop people opening a credit card and then closing it (just to get cashback - I am not planning to do this)? I clicked "I confirm". I was then presented with a list of dates and times (I assumed these were the dates and time I accessed the Tesco website). I guess I should select the latest date and time?


    I have not submitted a claim yet.
