Cashback when switching between NOW and Sky

I know that Sky is the parent company, but does anybody have any recent experience of transferring between NOW and Sky as far as cashback is concerned? I’m pretty sure I’ve done it in the past and it worked, but the recent price increase email for NOW came from Sky. And during the sign-up process, it says, ‘It looks like you are already a customer with Sky’ and ‘We’ve found an existing Sky line at your address. Please sign in.’

Quidco are currently offering £37.50 for those switching to Sky’s Full Fibre 75 service and £75 for Full Fibre 150, plus a £40 bonus, but I’m doubting that it will pay out.

Another option would be to upgrade my current NOW service through Quidco. They are currently showing £52.50 for those upgrading to Fibre 75 or £67.50 for Fibre 100, but TopCashback is restricted to new customers, so again, I'm wondering if it will pay out. Has anybody done this recently, and did it work?

    Just replying to my own post, for anybody that might be interested, to say that the cashback has just been confirmed.

    I upgraded to Quidco Premium for a month, and the cashback was £100, plus a bonus of £40. I’m just waiting for the bonus to be confirmed, but that should be a formality.

    The switch took place on the 17th of July, and the cashback has been paid today, the 19th of September. That’s much quicker than the indicated date of the 26th of January.

    Did you switch from NOW to Sky or just upgrade your existing NOW service?

    I switched from NOW to Sky because NOW were increasing their prices.
