    Yes, how do you clear cookies?

    I have always used Rpoints as that was the first cashback site I came across and registered with. Is there much difference between them and Quidco? Rpoints don't make a charge, but then perhaps they don't have such good offers, I really don't know.
    Stopped smoking 27/12/2007, but could start again at any time :eek:

    Some retailers say that you cannot use a discount code in conjunction with Quidco. The best known retailer that has this rule (and its made clear on Quidco when you click into retailer) is John Lewis. However, I always give it a go and the 3 times I have used JL with a discount voucher and Quidco together the store has always paid out.

    Well there you go...I didn't know that when I bought my fridge on Wednesday and used a discount code I found somewhere ...and it went through, no problem. And JL have tracked my Quidco cash, so they can't be that pernickity.

    Yup me too - i used the current £20 off £100 spend code and still validated the cashback. TBH i cant think of any that havent paid when ive added a code

    please be aware that quidco does not always track
    i tried this last year with car insurance LTSB it never tracked and everything was done online cleared cookies etc.
    so don't get too excited untill you have received payment from quidco

    i have got 54p tracked since december but has not yet been validated

    yes quidco does work for some but not all:mad:

    hope you have better luck than i have with it:rolleyes:

    Lloyds TSB is Quidcos "achilles heel", it has well known tracking issues which has gone back well over a year now and still not been sorted.

    Is it worth using this website? The only thing that puts me off cashback sites, is that you can't compare prices between companies like you can with Kelkoo for example. I would rather get a cheaper deal, than paying more for cashback later.

    compare prices first then clear cookies use quidco and compare prices there always treat the cashback as a bonus and never factor it into the price unless like me you are willing to pay slightly more, £10 in my case to get the cashback of £120 just how much of a risk taker are you ?
