in Debt-free wannabe
I've just taken out a free trial subscription to Lovefilm for the Cashback and I don't know if I can actually hire some films.

Sorry to be so thick... I know I have to cancel within two weeks, but can I hire two films first?

I know this is Off Topic but I thought there must be people out there who've done it.

    I have had three different movie trials through quidco for the CB and had films (and games) from them all~ in fact I *nearly* didnt cancel lovefilm until at thelast minute my DFE head took over and I realised I would be defeating the purpose ;)

    I think you actually have to order some films to actually try the service or you wont get your cashback.

    Two DVDs arrived this morning! Amazed it was so fast. Nice timing as it has turned so cold - we can spend the weekend under the duvet.

    We got a film from them, then cancelled. My cashback hasn;t tracked yet though - waiting for the enquiry to go through. it's being procesed at the moment.

    Sorry to bump this but have another Lovefilm quidco question. On Quidco in the info box it says:

    "If you use a promotional code in conjunction with this link you may not receive your Quidco cashback."

    But when I follow the link there is already a promotional code in the box. Should I delete it and proceed? Or just keep the code there and sign up?

    Delete it. The promotional code is probably a personal referral code. The cashback you get would be paid to the other person instead. :)
