One form quidco, one from cashbackkings. My missus had one - that was declined too.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I wouldn't be hopeful.
My Splash transaction went from tracked to declined then back to tracked (after I raised an enquiry) so I assumed my enquiry had been successful and I'd receive my cashback eventually.

BUT, it appears this was just a stalling tactic in the hope that I (and presumably others) would eventually forget all about it and not pursue it.

After the payment date rolled over from May to June, then to July, I raised a ticket to ask why it was taking so long for Splash to pay out. The reply I got stated that they were not going to pay out (because of the extra condition which Splash/Quidco later added) and Quidco "did not know" why my transaction was showing as "tracked" - it had in fact been "declined" all along, and is now showing as such in my earnings. :mad:

Ah, ok. Not a massive problem anyway. The sim I used to buy it was free so it didn't cost me anything I guess. Good of them to move the goalposts though, the !!!!!!.

Hi,

Any updates on this? Most of the sites seem to be ringtones, MP3s etc. Is there anything more tangible one can buy using the PAYG credit?

Thanks!

I used my spare credit to pay for a few months membership of Club Penguin for my DS. It costs a quid more than paying by Paypal, but I have one happy son!

I sold my unused credit at sellyourcredit.com when I got a new phone. Only got 50% of its value but was less hassle than putting it on ebay and quicker payout!
