Has anyone else tried the 50% cashback at Matalan promotion on Quidco?

My cashback tracked as £1.40 on a £50 transaction, way lower than 50%!  The order was paid for by debit card, no voucher code or gift vouchers and the Quidco promotion clearly said the cashback rate applied to all products.

    Looks like, fortunately, it tracked at a lower rate and then changed to the correct rate.  I was aware that happened with some retailers but Quidco don't specifically mention it on their Matalan page.

    Just bringing this thread back to life - Quidco has emailed me.
    The mega cashback offer from Matalan has - surprise! - been declined (50% cashback!)
    I did 2 shops in November (£50 owed to me) and a third shop in February under the same cashback offer (£12.60 owed to me).
    Each of Quidco's emails state that Matalan "did not recognise Quidco as the referrer" - how convenient! I'd really love to know if anyone was successful with this 50% cashback offer. I'm fuming! 
    "Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".

    I didn't use that offer but Matalan are the only site that any of my cashback has failed to track (it was less than £2 but I haven't used their site since and left an appropriate review)
  • Matalan declined my legitimate claim of £25. It’s so wrong that they are allowed to get away with this - it’s a con to make you spend and then wait 6 months so you couldn’t return stuff for a refund anyway.
