    If I'm right, you buy up to what your credit limit will allow in TCs and pocket the 8% from QuidCo? (8% til Feb 14th!!!).
    I'm just a teeny weeny bit sceptical myself, but good luck anyway. ;)

    Just got the knockback letter from MS&More Card saying no to additional £500 purchase of TCs....succeeded in purchasing & cashing £1970 from £2500 card limit....not too shabby.
    No word from Quidco yet no.....no news is good news????

    I think M&S must have cottened onto this because I have read in a few posts that people are being rejected when ordering a second batch. I'll stick with my £2,450 worth - when they arrive!

    On 1st Feb I posted on this thread (see post 4) that I had ordered £5000 worth of TC's from M&S via QUIDCO and had not received my 5%cashback. I had emailed QUIDCO who were investigating it. I know other people followed suit via QUIDCO. I have just received my reply telling me that M&S don't pay cashback on any currency transactions. I have replied saying that this is contrary to what is stated on QUIDCO and nothing to this end is posted on the M&S website. I have therfore appealed so we will wait and see what happens.
    It was really to good to be true I suppose but I saw it as their glaring mistake and I think M&S should admit their mistake and payup.
    I will let you know how I get on.

    I suggest we all keep breathing in the meantime!

    I've got everything crossed for you sasha!

    One for all and all for one!
    Yep, I'm up for that....but I have been known to act first and think about it later so should we plan how to go about a campaign here first?

    Any input from wise [STRIKE]old[/STRIKE] MSE's please?

    there's another thread on this further up and it seems a lot of us are now buying &More tc's through Quidco, so they must be wondering what's going on. I am not banking on getting the cashback but I will keep on at them in the meantime. I am a regular user of QUIDCO and have never had anything refused before so they have no reason to refuse this time. I don't think we should suffer because M&S are stupid enough not to think carefully about what they promise on their link with QUIDCO.

    Can anyone find an email address to contact QUIDCO on?
