Peterbaker has backed himself into a corner and now realises he is talking rubbish but has gone so far that he will not admit it.
Even his OBE friend will tell him QUIDCO IS NOT AT FAULT.

Quidco is the canines dangly bits for people who take the time to realise what it is all about.
IT IS FREE MONEY.....
I will say that again QUIDCO IS FREE MONEY.
Once more for Mr Pedant QUIDCO IS FREE MONEY.

Example.... I change my car insurance, something I was planning on doing anyway. I click through Quidco and in a few months time they will GIVE ME MONEY.
I am totally lost with the Quidco bashers.... you have to do nothing more than spend a few seconds clicking a quidco link and you get FREE MONEY.

Do you think I have made it clear enough?

No superz I dont hate Quidco, I just don't know what they are good for because they weren't fit for my purpose.

For someone supposedly so inteligent....... e.t.c.

You can honestly say, you dont know what Quidco is good for ??????????????????????????????????????????
You spend hours being pedantic to the point of anal but you cannot seem to grasp such a simple concept as cashback sites.

Had just over £1000 from Quidco in the past two years. In order to get that £1000 cash back to me I've had to spend just over £1400. Therefore I've had car insurance, house insurance, been paid to take mobile phones for a year with free calls, spent £10 on bingo and been given £50 back, been paid to take credit cards all from a company someone thinks is not fit for purpose, Hate to think what Quidco would be like if they were good. Roll on tomorrow when they are sending me another £97 for contents insurance and cashback on DVDs and a golf club.

Oh goodness me. I've clicked! I've clicked on a Quidco link to SHOP.COM and ordered a LEC U5026W. Will I get free money despite the fact SHOP.COM say they can't fulfill the order? Someone tell me it's so so I can retract everything and do it again and again and recommend Quidco as an amazing perpetual FREE-MONEY-go-round.

Amazing how the guano builds up over such little molehills in here.

I don't play bingo. I don't want to buy insurance from just anyone with a quidco link, I don't buy DVDs, I don't need a another mobile phone because I have long had a deal that most people can only dream about, and I dont need golf clubs. So that's a £1400 that's stayed in my pocket.

ALL I WANT IS A BLOODY FREEZER AND IT'S A LEC U5026W !!! And if you Google LEC U5026W the first thing you get is a SHOP.COM ad for one at the price I wanted but which they apparently cannot supply. HOW BLOODY USELESS IS THAT?


What is the point of Quidco highlighting that purchases with SHOP.COM qualify for 7% cashback when SHOP.COM sits itself at the top of Google Ad lists using prices for an organisation that does not have any stock (TribalUK) who then just below SHOP.COM's Google Ad but using another name (24Electric) advertise the same item fractionally cheaper when obviously they don't have it either because they are both trading names of Bennetts Electrical working out of the same p*xy industrial estate warehouse up in Norwich somewhere? Only difference being that if you buy direct from 24Electric they'll take your money immediately and kindly let you have it back later when they realise they have no stock. Nice of them. (That's called giving them FREE MONEY by the way)

Quidco also say they will give 4% cashback if you use the Quidco link to TribalUK. Why would you do that if you could get 7% if you buy from TribalUK via Quidco's link to SHOP.COM? Maybe they do it because it actually doesn't make a blind bit of difference in the real world!

Why would you do any of it if you know what I now know which is that the only two Quidco links I ever looked at in my life were to SHOP.COM and TribalUK and I now know those to be TOTALLY USELESS?

As I said, unless the purpose is FREE MONEY to me not from me, and swapping £1400 for £1000 doesn't sound like it, even when a few DVDs, a bit of questionnable insurance and a trip to the bingo with a golf club is included, then why bother?

Not to mention Clash-Club email spam .... d'oh ... :mad:

peterbaker

Probably, especially after I added the p*xy bit

I dont believe it either ... time to get back to Tailor of Panama on Film4 !

You still are not getting it.
I shall try to explain one last time and use an easy example.
I wanted to change my car insurance so used one of those comparison websites - still with me so far.
I found insurance with Priviledge which was much cheaper than my renewal quote so decided to go with them.
Opened Internet Explorer and went to Quidco - searched Insurance and found that Priviledge was on the list - Clicked the link, applied for my insurance and Quidco gave me £60 - for nothing = FREE.
As for the bingo references - some sites let you deposit a small amount eg £20 and they give you cashback of £50. Which means a £30 profit even if you lose it all. Now as I am not one for Bingo, Mrs Advent would spend a few hours playing whilst I watch TV. I heard a loud squeak from the computer room and went in to see what was up - she only won £618. A quick cashout later and our bank balance swelled a bit.
You could spend a few days just signing up to the gambling sites and make a few hundred quid profit EVEN IF YOU LOSE YOUR STAKE.

You know I am right, as for the £1,400 staying in your pocket.
You have deliberately ignored the facts. The guy spent £400 to get £1,400 worth of goods and services.

I dont know how much I spent to get over £800, but every penny was spent on things I needed or on no brainer items such as gambling sites in which I couldnt lose.

Just because the SUPPLIER messed up with your first experience of Quidco. do not dismiss it out of hand.

So yes, Quidco is FREE MONEY and it seems you are the only person on planet earth who does not grasp it.

advent either this guy is a troll or he appears not to be able to grasp the most simple of straightforward concepts, either way I'm not wasting my time with this thread any more. He's not worth the effort.

I am still a young pup..
I have told the wife if I turn into HIM when I am 50 then take me in a field and shoot me.

I enjoy these threads, they give me a warm glow inside.

I agree, we could get a group of us from here and just have a mass suicide if we become like that.

I expect pb will know how to do that better than us as well and will give some detailed explanation into the subject soon.

I personally think we should all buy a giant freezer via a Quidco link from shop.com and all sit in it and freeze to death. That would be slightly different from they way most people have a mass suicide.
