    and Jamster:

    http://www.quidco.com/jamster/

    Both of these work by allowing you to pay their associated fee via a text message which takes money off your SIM card. If using Jamster remember to send a text message to cancel as the charges are weekly.
    But if you've only got a freebie Virgin sim with £5 credit (+ £2 registration bonus) you won't be able to do both. The Splash Card is the better deal as you get £10 cashback as opposed to £4.37 from Jamster. ;)

    Has anyone had more than one splash plastic track on quidco? reason being i have 5 Virgin cards to use.

    Otherwise i'll just use the other 4 for making calls. I always have 2 phones with me, one is my normal one with my number i have had for years, the other is an old Nokia 6210 which i use all my free talk time on!

    Good question. I applied for 2 cards via 2 different applications in my name and the other in my wifes. We both have separate quidco accounts and both tracked ok.

    The Splash Plastic t&c's say you can have multiple cards - up to 5 per household.

    3.2 You may only apply for a Card if you are resident in the UK, and you may hold up to five Cards per household at any one time.

    Yes Splashcard (Splashplastic) costs a one-off £5 plus I think the cost of a txt msg. Cashback is £10.

    PS. I agree with Ianonline above, this is the better option vs. Jamster if you only have limited credit on the SIM

    Does this mean you can have 5 different people in the same household each apply for a card, or will they allow 1 person to hold 5 cards.

    Also, when it says "at any one time", do you suppose they'd let you cancel all 5 and then re-apply for another 5? As they're losing money on every application, there must come a point when they realise people are just applying for the cashback and have no intention of using the cards.:think:

    With splash plastic, does the charge of the £5 to open the account class an activated card or do you have to add money to it for it to become active?

    Because the £10 is for an activated card (within 45 days of application).

    Cheers
