They've all gone to bed now after a long day - should swim a bit slower and let us catch them then shouldn't they

Does this comp run 9.0 - 5.00 or is there a chance of catching a squid any time?

It runs for about an hour every day around lunchtime as far as I can tell. At least mine have only ever shown up at that time.

I've typed 2 replies to Quidco rep and neither show up. Is that normal?

I was trying to say to them that since the game has had so many bugs - Squids not showing for some people but do for others, the site crashing, the app crashing, added to the fact that they are only around for a bit of the day when many people are in work that it would be fair to have a prize draw at the end for everyone who has collected a minimum number of squids (5, 8, 10 or something). Of course, the game also doesn't tell you that the top prize is £1121, not £1000 because every £1000 winner stops someone else from winning a £1 or £5 prize and that flaw in itself should make Quidco think again. I don't want to sound antsy, as I have been lucky and grateful enough to have won £5 (thanks Quidco!

) but I think there are a lot of people who would value some chance of reward at the very end of so many frustrations.

Yes I agree with this, if I won the £1000 I'd happily give up my previous prizes for someone else - it'd be like you were moving up the prizes, so you win £1, but if you win £5 that replaces the £1, if you win £15 that replaces the £5 and so on. Greater number of winners then!

your right pipsqueakandwilfred
i haven won anything and don't personally know anyone that has.
i thought the £1000 draw would be after it had all ended, so anyone that is lucky to get all 15 today wont have as much of a chance to win the £1000 as two prizes have already been drawn

i think a lot of time and effort must have gone into making this game, its just been let down by the how the prizes have been awarded, to give the change of wining £1000 only to those who have already won £121 is unfair
