    Thanks again Martin.

    I won £64! Haven't had the £25 back yet but a great result so far.

    I wonder how much MSE'rs have cost Betfair today (assuming we all have the willpower to withdraw our winnings and are not tempted to carry on based on todays success)!


    If you are lucky enough to have a cc that accepts winnings!!

    App Morgan Stanley dont!!! They are happy to pay the bets and charge me!

    I shall be cancelling my morgan stanley CC!!:mad: :mad:
    ACII and Chartered so now I can focus on learning to play my beautiful Sax. 🎷

    ive been asked to provide ID, but Im holding out to be honest, I think it might be necessary in case I want to continue using this account without restrictions? bit miffed that it might cost me £2, but i'd have spent more on that in a proper bookies, so if I get my £25 back with a £2 spend I'm happy. Its not really a misleading tip from Martin. You shouldn't bet if you can afford/risk to lose the £25

    my husband had to verify age with credit card but the £2 was credited to his balance so can be withdrawn again -it is not really a charge

    If you go into Betfair, then into 'my account', on the left hand menu it has the option to 'withdraw funds'. If you paid by debit card it will be refunded back, one you request it, within 3-5 working days.

    Congratulations to those who won !
    Thank you to everyone who has helped me MoneySave

    Kiwifruit - My £50 quidco tracked yesterday no problem, but no sign of the £25 credit on betfair account (but 1st post says it may take up to 24 hrs from end of race). I didn't alter the code on the registration form in case that messed up the cashback
  • Jeppy - do you have another (non-Mastercard) credit card? I don't know if this would work, but the Betfair site says that you can have up to 3 cards registered to an account. Perhaps if you registered another card (in the My Account section) you could transfer the winnings out on to that? Just an idea.

    Topcashback tracking £25 , Betfair credited my original £25 stake before the race had even been run , and I won £21 for a 4th place . Have now withdrawn my booty from Betfair back onto my debit card . What a result ! Thank - you once again Martin for a top tip

    If you cant refund back to mastercard they will do a cheque payment - dont worry about it.

    Hi all

    Just wondering if anyone can help me? I signed up to Betfair through Quidco and have not received my £25 bet back - has this happened to anyone else or if not, how long do they usually take to put the £25 back into your account as it says on Martin's first post that it should go in straight after the race. (I signed up this morning by the way).

    Thanks in advance.

    Jo

    the promo budget will be hit - between £50 and £75 an account across even a thousand accounts is an expensive promotion.

    I got my £30 quidco tracked, and my £25 back. I opened it at 5am and withdrew my £27 at 7pm. I wont be on betfair again.
