    I have just gone through Quidco for my Travel Insurance with Essential Travel - I spent £24.99 on my insurance and it stated on Quidco that insurance would be 16%, but £1.55 has been tracked.

    Any idea why this might have happened please?

    I had the same thing with Essential- I spent £56.99 and only £1.25 was tracked- I put a ticket in and got a further £7.99 but it took over two months.

    for people who want guaranteed return on sportsbook bets, I bet on A P T Bastad in tennis with a match that had a favourite by miles 1/16 vs 7/1 and theres another tomorrow with similar odds and my favourite came in with a few pennies on top but satisfies the bet requirements to get the cashback. (Ive also bet my free bet that you get on tomorrows favourite as well to make a good profit on two favourites)

    Please, please, please no-one follow this information!

    Nothing against you indelacio, but these 1/16 or 1/50 shots are just not worth it.

    First of all you are risking £30-£50 or whatever to win around £2 back and if you go onto the Betfair forums and just browse the forum and see how many of these 'guarenteed or banker' bets lose.

    Even 1.01 (1/100) shots get beaten every single day.

    It's just not worth the risk mate.

    Okay

    1 its for the cashback on quidco much more than the gamble

    2 placed that for that yesterday and got 38p today, on top of that a free bet equal to the ammount I staked

    3 staking that free bet on another favourite (already have the cashback and my origonal stake back this is a free bet, so doubling my cash if it wins if it loses Ive lost nothing) Just thought Id point out that there was a good certainty bet for anyone doing it for the cashback, in ordinary circumstances yes not worth the money but its a free bet by winning it converts it into cash that way Ive doubled my cash on 2 easy favourites and got the cashback through quidco easy money.

    As with all gambling its a risk but if youre going to make a bet for cashback anyway its a very good certainty and its tennis its 50 50 theres no draws and the other opponents a way longshot.

    But your choice, Im doing it as Ive got the free bet to use up, already got my cashback and my origonal stake back.

    Yay, my GameAccount transaction that was declined for £18 has now changed to 'enquiry successful' and validated. :)
    So there's hope for people yet.
