  • I did my car insurance through RAC via Quidco and got £70 cashback and free breakdown cover which has tracked twice but I'm sure they will realise they're error before paying out!!

    Unfortunately it showed double right up until it moved over to paid and then went back to £70 but hey I'm not complaining.
    BUT although quidco is fantastic it is always worth going onto a site such as comparethemarket.com because for my house insurance I received a renewal from direct line for £384(buildings&contents)so got quotes from all the companies offering cashback through quidco and the best price I could get including quidco was £226.
    I'm off sick ATM so have got plenty of time on my hands so had a good search and in the end got my insurance for £188 with a company that doesn't offer cashback.
    Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking quidco I'm just saying that its worth checking all avenues first!

    I took out car insurance with RAC this time last year ... only just realised today (as I was doing THIS years car insurance!), that although the £70 cashback with RAC was validated, it hasn't been paid yet.

    I've put a query through, but I'm not holding my breath, as quidco seem to suggest that they can't do anything about queries over 12 weeks old. Which is a bit off since the time it takes for the payment to come through on average, according to their page, is around 3 months.

    Hmmmmmmm.
