Higher premium going through Quidco?

I got an online quote earlier today from Bennetts (specialist motorbike insurers) for TPF&T cover for my Vespa scooter. I got a quote of 222.68.

I've just logged into Bennetts via Quidco (which offers a 20 quid discount) and entered exactly the same information. I was given a quote of 233.44.

Obviously I'm still 9 quid better off if you take into account the cashback from Quidco, but I'm curious. Is it normal for an insurer to give you a higher quote if you go through Quidco?

    Don't forget though that Quidco money is not guaranteed, so it might be worth taking the lower quote without Quidco.
