Free National Trust Membership, and binoculars!

Well I have had problems with mine!!! I got confused and got a family pack, then redid them singularly, cancelling the first was not easy, 3 different people tried and consequently some of the single one's did not go through. Eventually it was cancelled off and I was advised to do them again.
In between each membership, I cleared cookies and cahche. All the memberships tracked with quidco (10!!!!!!!!!) however obviously a number of these will not be paid. And I received 5 pairs of binoculars.

BTW the binoculars are not very good, very hard to see anything through them. My husband, myself and both parents-in-law have tried without success.

I bought a membership for my daughter so it cost me £15 and I got £20 from Quidco. I only wanted it to park for free at a fairly local forest. The NT don't really lose out because we always have a drink or ice cream from their shop. We got the binoculars which looked good quality but I confess I didn't actually try to look through them. I guess I ought to as I was going to give them to FIL for his birthday

Hi,
I did a family membership for NT last Christmas for my brother and family. He's in Scotland so I checked if it could be used there before buying it and no problems. It didn't track through quidco initially so I reported it and it did get resolved but did mean that I didn't receive the cashback for a few months.

Mine is still showing as tracked from 22/6, I didn't receive binoculars either.
I will reply if/when the status changes.

The stats for it on Quidco are that payment is slow (3 months) so I should expect it to be validated by September but will wait and see.

Mine has now been validated, so fingers crossed I will receive it.

Yes, mine has just been validated too! Hooray!!

Mine has now moved to paid, I got 2 young people memberships, total paid=£31.50
Total cashback via Quidco=£40.

So I got our 2 memberships for -£8.50 :T.
Thanks again op :beer:.

Never received the binoculars though.

I did single membership and have received the £20 from quidco. A month later I did single membership (as gift membership) for my husband (we are separated, so different address although I don't think it matters) and that £20 is tracking.

Although it is a charity, we have visited more properties than we ever would if we hadn't got membership and it is excellent for taking out little boy (nearly 2) out in the fresh air.

We always spend money in the cafe having tea and cake (they do great cake)! Sometimes we have lunch too or buy something for DS in the shop. Everyone wins

We got 2 lots of free binoculars too.

I agree! The scones with cream and jam in Erddig Hall, North Wales, are the best we've ever had.

That's the good thing I feel I can spend more in the cafes/gift shops as I have got the memberships for free.
