I guess too late to be of use to anyone, however I used a link from ipoints to access Betfair, entered the MSE code and ended up with 3000 ipoints added to my account (still need to get around to opening a Quidco account!!)
So £25 of free bets, £60 + in winnings and now 3000 ipoints - it just gets better and better (excuse the betting pun!!)

I used BetFair.com and Bet £25 and did get the £25 back. So all in all it was an absolutely risk free bet. Unfortunately however I didn't get any horses come up, Oh Well... :T0

DH emailed Betfair about the fact he hadn't been credited with the £25 - got this reply today
"I have looked at your account and I can see you have placed your bets on the Grand National. However I can't see a promotional code on your account.
Please can you confirm the code of the promotion you saw and inform us please so we can see if we can add this to your account. "
To be honest DH didn't put a code in - he went through Quidco (just as I did, although I did it when it was £30 a couple of days earlier, and I got the money straight away). The Quidco site said £50 cashback and free £25 bet - it didn't require him to put any code in, or did DH miss something? Anyone else in the same boat? If he replies that he didn't put a code in will they say he's not entitled to the £25, which seems a bit off considering there was nothing in the Quidco blurb about it.
Any help appreciated.

On the sign up form you have to tick "Do you have a Promotion or "Refer and Earn" code?" and enter the code.
As they have asked you to confirm the code of the promotion you saw, this is what I would do in your position..0 -

Hi DAN29, Thanks for that - bit dim here though and not sure quite what you mean - do you mean he should explain that it was through Quidco or find an appropriate code - I didn't put in a code / tick anything when I signed up and it all went through fine. Bit lost here lol."There's hard work. And there's not so hard work. I prefer not so hard work.

You got the £25 without putting in a code? Let's keep quiet about that then!
Personally I wouldn't mention Quidco as it's separate from the £25 bonus.
If Betfair are asking which code you saw, then presumably this is the one you saw (from the first post of this thread) so you can reply and tell them BFB425.MSE_Martin wrote: »Step 1. Sign up for an account. Go to the sign-up page, and enter the code BFB425 in the promotional code box..0
