Post Office credit card

rosiedee

I applied for a Post Office credit card online earlier today. At the end of the application it said a decision couldn't be made immediately and I would hear by post within the next five days. I applied through Quidco and have just looked on there and it has been validated. Does that mean I've been accepted?

NO, that only means that your application was tracked by them and if you are accepted by the PO you'll also get cashback from Quidco.

It is actually showing an amount of £20.50.

exel1966

Yep, that's how much you'll get from Quidco.

As per their site :- QUIDCO

£20.50 for each accepted credit card application

But does this mean my application has been accepted?

This must be a wind up...............if not you've already read the answer is in post 2 !!

rosiedee

No, it's not a wind up. I did read your earlier post but obviously don't fully understand the terminology of Quidco. I applied for a Goldfish card which was tracked at 0.00 which I wasn't accepted for but thought validated meant it had been accepted, thanks for putting me straight. Sorry if I'm being a thicko!!

OK, Quidco use different terminology for different companies. Some show 0.00 ONLY, some show the amount of cashback you get. It's just a peculiarity of their system.
It has nothing whatsover to do with your acceptance for the card.

Thanks Exel

I applied for this through Quidco waited until i got my money then cancelled my card, but if you do this you must do it in writing it cannot be done on line or over the phone. Still nice £20 for 25mins work and a little wait...lol

And a credit search on your file for the sake of £20. What a waste !!
