    Sorry I had to go back and edit my post earlier and didn't see this post.

    To clarify though, it's a virgin referral, rpoints are the affiliate and you're the one with a proven vested financial interest as are many others who post on these boards.

    I should also point out that there's alot more of you than me so I do wonder why it's I who seems to get the most criticism even though there's almost an army of rpoints users displaying similar behaviour as you have in this thread.

    Also why do I feel it necessary to explain myself?

    because I'm constantly finding that people are complaining about my posts to quidco and this is even though I barely make these posts anymore. We should not forget that these compaints are in the shadow of blatent daily rpoints referrals which do generate income for that site. Do MSE get a proportionate number of complaints about these?

    Given this I wonder who the people complaining to quidco are and why?

    Buy this through http://www.rpoints.com to get £2.50 cashback and you will have the phone with £25 airttime and £0.51 profit! (On Virgin website go to 'Latest offers', then 'Save with our great student discounts' ...):D

    Will look at Rpoints.

    Will they check out if i'm a student?

    :mad: :mad: :mad:
    Proven?!:confused: :rotfl: Very funny. My only interest is that I am a member of Rpoints - as a member of many other cashback sites. The only reason I recommended them was because unlike quidco they don't take £5 per year and don't demand earning £20 before you are able to withdraw money.
    In this case they earn £2.50 for your purchase and this has not been declared
    In your case quidco earn £5 and this has not been declared too :think:

    Please read my original post more carefully I have explained this. I'm not getting into an argument with you about this.

    You do have a vested financial interest in rpoints, you've shown this in other threads even though admittedly you're not quite as blatent as users such as plumb1, Iwantitnow, Johnllew etc, who blatently referrer people back to their referral board posts quite regularly.

    Before any more posts are argued over and edited I am locking this thread for Abcon to review.

    Sorry to the OP, I hope you have gained enough info to find your phone.
