Virgin Media Cable Packages £100 cashback with quidco

Former_MSE_Archna

POSTED 17 JUNE 08

What's the deal?

New customers signing up to Virgin Media cable bundle via one of the special cashback websites can get £100 cashback - £35 more than usual. This deal is due to last during June, but may end before that, so go quick

What's available.

The £100 cashback applies on all Virgin packages. So for example, normally over a year, including installation you'd pay £346.50 for landline, TV, weekend calls and broadband which is an average of £29/mth. With this deal it's £246.50 an average of £21/mth.

Remember a landline on BT or TalkTalk costs £10.50 alone so this is a cracking deal, if you're planning on getting a Virgin package.

One thing to note is that making calls via Virgin, especially to mobiles, is expensive, so if you do get this package read the Calling Mobiles Cheaply guide to cut the cost.

WARNING! Cashback site payouts are never 100% guaranteed.

Cashback sites are specialist websites that list retailers/product providers and get paid if you click through them. Importantly they then give some or all of this cash to you. If you're new please read the Best Cashback Sites guide before continuing.

As cashback sites rely on retailers paying them, you can never count cashback as a sure thing until it's in your bank account. This particular deal is via Quidco and it has said that 95% of people should get this without a problem; and it's satisfied. My instinct is this time it should be fine... but its never 100% guaranteed.

How to get this deal

• Register at Quidco. If you're not already a member join (its free)cashback site Quidco. It takes £5/year off your total cashback paid so if this is the first cashback deal you've done you'll get £95.

• Then click from it to Virgin. Once you're registered and being tracked at Quidco, use its links to Virgin, and you'll be on Virgin's site, just like normal. Yet this way your actions are being tracked and if you purchase it'll be registered to you.
• Be careful if you've visited Virgin recently. There's a very small chance in this case you'll have a cookie on your computer (a small piece of tracking info) that means the sale won't be registered to Quido.
  
  If you have you need to delete cookies; something you can do by following the instructions in your browser (usually either Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari... if its not one of these, you're probably a techie and know all about this!)

I have virgins 3 for £30 deal which gives free landline calls 24/7 plus basic tv and broadband for £30.00 per month.

So using this you can basically get just over 3 months free.

I have took up this cashback and tracked

I wouldn't bother with the TV though. Medium package is no more than Freview. You get a couple more on Large and a few more again on XL, but not really worth the money. Wait for FreeSat from BBC/ITV.

The broadband speeds are good though - went for XL and getting 20mb if connect directly to router

I bought car insurance via Quidco; '£110 cashback with LloydsTSB' - never got a penny!! Similar thing with linemypocket, no £40 cashback for an Alliance & Leicester bank account. These are the only things I've bought via cashback sites. I wonder where the money goes?

Hey,bearfreeman,I hope this helps you to get all that money (£ 150.00 -5.00 = 145.00).

Login to your account at quidco.Look for 'earnings' link.You will see three sections namely - Transactions,Payments,Enquiries. Click on enquiries you will be directed to 'Earnings Enquiry Submissions' page,then read all the directions patiently and understand what neds to be done and if you are happy with the info then click on the 'Click here to submit an earnings enquiry' link.You would be directed to a new page 'New Earnings Enquiry'.From the drop down menu (Merchant) choose the company in your case first enquiry would be for LloydsTSB and second enquiry would be for linemypocket.

I also suggest you setup BACS payment on your quidco account (you'l have to provide your bank details).Please be warned that you 'MUST' have security software on your pc for any online transactions,because if your details are used for fraud then 'you' would be liable if you did not have an updated security software on your pc !!. If you ned anymore help please let me know i would be happy to post it here.

Ahh...I can never thank Martin enough for this website.

I read it somewhere - "The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it".Martin has reserved this deed for next millions of great lives he is about to live on this and/or other planets in the universe/s.:T :T :T :T :T

Please remember that Virgin Media are yet to make a definitive statement concerning their implementation of Phorm’s Webwise on their broadband service. Because of this, you should think very carefully, before locking yourself into a twelve-month minimum contract term for broadband with Virgin Media.

Below are some links to pages covering this issue.

I'm just coming to the end of 12 months with Virgin. I'm wondering if it's worth cancelling the contract and then starting a new one to get the cashback...

Quidco are generally good, but be warned that (quite rightly) they can only do so much for untracked transactions. I had a £25 transaction investigated and refused even though I provided account details, numbers, and a transaction ID that as a customer I could see in my account. The merchant claimed that transaction didn't exist!!!

You state on this thread that it is for New customers, but where does it state that on the Quidco page? If you have a service with Virgin and want to add an additional service you should also qualify. I have added the TV basic package as it is free and does not cost anything to run, so hoping to get the £100 as it clearly does not state, for New Customers only!!

As far as I am aware all Virgin TV packages have On demand which is a great service allowing you to catch up with shows. I am on the 4 for £40 and I have XL TV - more than enough channels, Setanta, big library of Free On demand stuff like The Wire, The Sopranos, Curb etc.
Considering I was paying £30 a month for my mobile alone and now I get Line Rental, landline calls, Digital TV, Broadband and 300 mins anytime mobile and 600 texts I would say this was a good offer for a tenner a week!!

On demand is £5 extra unless your on XL tv i think.
