This John smiths ale is the only beer I have ever poured away

Grabbed one of these today, as well as some Fosters' Rum thingys (£2 off).

I must say CheckoutSmart/Quido supermarket deals are so much better nowadays. Free beer etc always welcome. They used to mainly be rubbish like 20p off some bread or something.

Having said that, a couple of years ago they had a "free £10" offer

id like to thank you again for this ive got a few quid in my account it made me look at other ones just for when i take my wife shopping it will pay for another day out in the summer holidays i expect

Happened on my account too. It can say paid on the activity but it doesn't show in my balance until a few days later.

Just need to keep an eye on it when you cash out, and look at the breakdown on the payout page and check all clip snap items are listed.

This has happened to me too more than a couple of times, but with careful tally of the sums no cash was actually missing, rather it's a mistake on their part listing the status as paid when it actually is confirmed or sometimes it's just tracked and in a couple of days it moves to payable. It's a rather new problem, they must have changed something and it makes it very frustrating at times.

Thanks KiKai. The most recent ones were the Optiwell and the Amstel from around a month ago. They say "Paid" on the http://www.quidco.com/activity/clicksnap page – but they were never actually paid into my Quidco balance!

I don't know if it's just a glitch on my account, but I'm sure I read on MSE about it happening to other people. It's people with busy Quidco accounts that need to be vigilant, because small amounts like £1.50 can go unnoticed amid lots of other transactions.

You've really got to keep an eye on Quidco ClickSnap. There is a black hole in their system whereby claims go to "Paid" on the ClickSnap Activity page, but the sums never appear in your overall Quidco balance, so can't be withdrawn.

This has just happened to me for the 4th time; I'm sick and tired of having to navigate through their help pages to raise a ticket. I wonder what is happening to all this money when people don't notice this is happening, or don't bother to raise a ticket?

Picked up 2 today. (Mine & partners account)
Thanks Kikai, always forget to check the cos offers, would've missed it. Heat added

On Clicksnap now

Bit worried...I uploaded my first receipt Friday night and haven't heard anything yet?

Anyone uploaded a receipt from Asda and been declined for this item?

Anyone getting double entries for a single receipt upload today?
Two items on one receipt, but only uploaded once.

Hope they don't pay me twice. :smile:

This John smiths ale is the only beer I have ever poured away

I always thought COS were more on the ball than this but if your claims are being rewarded then that's fair enough... :laughing:

Actually KiKai I find they don't bother checking barcodes or product numbers and the "deceptive" cashback still gets accepted

Absolute pish .. Same as ordinary / John smiths smooth .. A disgrace of an ale .

Just a question. The fosters rum offer shows half price and £2 on it. Does that mean that you get £2 cashback or that you get it for £2? My local tesco have these reduced to clear for £2.25 so wouldnt mind a 4 pack for 25p.

I wouldn't touch John Smiths if you paid me, I value my health :smiley:

I've been using checkout smart for 2 weeks and only buying the offers that I'll use and have £17.89 as my account balance already! Very easy to reach the £20 to avoid the 5% cashback charge!

Is that even if they dont have the yellow stickers on? They are reduced on the main tag thats on the shelf...

Rubbish beer, picked one up though - steak and ale pie for Sunday lunch!

Probably the only time I would NOT recommend gettng a freebie. AWFUL beer. Tried it after it soon came out thnking hhhmmmm... Golden Ale..... proved totally wrong.

Thank you KiKai, am loving all these freebies!!

Yes that's right so trying to purchase an incorrect product won't work, which is good as that's being deceptive... :laughing:

I claimed on the toothpaste... The receipt shows the product number/bar code

You're welcome scousetomo...:laughing:

:confused:

Then maybe it's one you can pop into the donation box... :laughing:

cheers pal

When it says select retailers and inside offer says waitrose. can you only get cash back if purchased from there or can it be anywhere. never used it before and confused.

can you buy more than 1 item at at a time on the receipt say could i buy 3 beers .. i think i sussed it now if me and my wife have the app we can make the same buy twice

Is there a down side to checkoutsmart?
(Besides not valid at Aldi!)

:man:

Thanks, there have been some good freebies from checkoutsmart recently!

Do you just buy it then upload the receipt? Can you get more then one of the items (e.g. this and the cider) on the same receipt and claim them both?

If it was London Pride, I'd be tempted - only tempted, mind you ;-) - to create 74 duplicate accounts

Yes you can purchase multiple offers and claim them all from one receipt... :laughing:

That's naughty... :smirk:

That's great fijamish... :laughing:

i love a freebie, especially when it is a BEER freebie

Now if this were Fursty Ferret, Hobgobln or Speckled Hen ( not that I drink much you understand :smiley: ), then it might be worth the hassle.

One receipt with one product scanned as stating "toothpaste" or similar on the receipt, on the app when you claim you have an option to "claim 6 times" with numbers from 1 to 6, tap 6 and upload your receipt. And to answer your second question, yes you can.

Easier done when the receipt states the product as something generic (in the case I stated, "toothpaste". You could get three toothpastes with the receipt stating each as " toothpaste " and because chackoutsmart has three £1.50 off colgate claim 6 times offers on you could claim 6 times for each using the same receipt and get £27 cashback (but I would recommend doing this with three separate receipts and claiming the three offers separately))

Is that 6 individual transactions? So 6 individual receipts? I was wondering if I went to tesco, purchased two products that are on the checkout smart app for free (different products) can I still claim for both only having 1 receipt?

Or take advantage of a glitch where you get an item cheaper but the receipt description is similar or the same as the freebie. For example this week's toothpaste offer (Colgate £1.50 of, claim 6 times) just get some other toothpaste and as long as the receipt states "toothpaste" or similar to Colgate claim 6 times and when processed get £1.50 x 6 = £9 cashback. Also with items on CheckoutSmart which state "all varieties" or "all products" take a gamble and claim for those aswell :smiley:

not my ideal drink but I love a freebie :smiley: so I will donate this one to the bottle tombola at my daughters school :laughing:

You're welcome Youngy, that'll be a nice little drinking session, enjoy... :laughing:

Thanks KiKai, just off to Tesco's now!

I still have the Strongbow and Amstel to drink, this as well now :smile:

thanks Kikai

You're welcome, enjoy your shopping trip... :laughing:

Thanks! Gonna go to asda now and buy all the free stuff! :-P

Nice. Lots of freebies available at the minute.

Hi. Thanks for the deal, but could you please explain how to use this app to get cashback? Do I have to buy the item on its own, then take a pic of receipt and upload or could I simply buy all the free stuff from asda in one purchase, take a pic of receipt and get cash back from multiple items in one go? Thanks.
