in Shop but don't drop
Anyone else having problems logging in? I'm waiting to make some large purchases with the Black Friday deals and also collect 5% cashback from the retailer but Quidco has been down all morning, the page says "Hang in there. We are updating the site at the moment. Sorry for the inconvenience, service should be restored shortly" but been like that for last 3-4 hours

    Just received an e-mail to get some black Friday deals !!

    I don't think this is "maintenance", they would not take the site down today. I suspect something more serious.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    I'm also waiting to make some purchases, it's so annoying.
    Yet while it's been unavailable emails have arrived from them with Black Friday deals and an Opinions survey.

    I think its all planned not to pass on the discounts to the consumer. In effect double saving.
    It been like it since 9.30 this morning for me and im still receiving emails off them with deals etc.

    If you look at the comments on their Facebook page, they say they are trying to get it back up as soon as possible and will honour all of the special offers they advertised.

    I'm guessing it crashed because of weight of traffic.

    Back up now but some bits not quite right.

    oops - down again.

    This will be a big loss to them on Black Friday

    Must be a major issue

    Wouldn't be surprised if it's a security breach
