In my experience over the last 10 years I found TCB support to be far more communicative and reliable. Tracking reliability is matched.

Hi,

For what its worth Top cashhback over Quidco every time. Quidco will decline high cashbacks so take a screen shot as by the time you have waited for them to deal with it and its gone through all the necessary time frames you will be stuffed.

I seem to recall quidco and hotuk deals have same ownership but stand to be corrected on this. Seems odd Quidco are actually replying / posting on here if neutral.

Yes, I noticed that.
Beats the topcashback 5% higher rate, but they'll probably match Quidco.
Quidco are more reliable though and treat members like members.

I don't get it. So they're improving current cash back rates by 10%?

So if it was 3%, you now get 3.3%?

5% bonus on Amazon withdrawals is great too, got a bunch of cashback I need to withdraw. Thanks OP

110%?

It's not 110% increase, it's 110% of the original cashback figure.

So if it was 1% before, it's 1.1% now.

*10% increase. 110% cashback.

I don't get it. So they're improving current cash back rates by 10%?

Speak as you find, but I'd bet that most on the topcashback lottery post would have different views!
Far more likely to get a goodwill payment from Quidco in my experiences.

Quidco charge a fiver annual fee unlike TCB

Flubit are now showing on Quidco as well as TCB btw. Currently 8% on Quidco.

They not charge an annual fee of £5 which is only taken from any earnings.

It's only on some retailers, not all 4500 as shown in the description.

No they don't, this is only for the premium membership which is totally optional

I'm a prefer Quidco camp and hate using TCB unless necessary!

Finally someone who actually knows what they're talking about

Always use Quidco over TCB even if they don't offer the highest rate (usually 0.5% difference anyway) but their service is top notch! Have often had their support pay my cashback early if the retailer's being slow! This just means I'll use them even more over the next few months leading up to Christmas!

Hi @Sweetcorn12

Our cashback rates will not be beaten!

We offer a Highest Cashback Guarantee in which if you see a rate of cashback which is the same or of greater value than one on Quidco, we will match this and then increase it by an additional 10% of the rate. You can find a link to our Highest Cashback Guarantee here http://www.quidco.com/highest-cashback-guarantee/

Do let me know if you have any questions.

Boo! 2 days after I withdrew £100 from my Quidco. Oh well :smiley:

Sorry meant to say that.

^ I nearly withdrew £100 yesterday but got distracted and forgot :sunglasses:

I mainly use quidco. I'm a premium member so pay the £5.

I've had a couple of claims rejected which I normally just ignore as they're only a few quid. However, I had one rejected which was £50 cashback from a Zopa loan, despite sending all of the evidence in and chasing regularly. They took so long dealing with the claim that it got to a point where it was outside of the claim period so I couldn't dispute it. They said Zopa rejected my claim...which is disgusting really as I have all of the evidence and drive the loan to work every day so I definitely didn't dream it. It makes me feel like they can just advertise any deal, you take it and they can just blame it on the retailer rejecting the deal at the end of the day.

Example...
https://www.topcashback.co.uk/flubit/

Just choose a daily deal or a demand.

Amazon bonus cash withdrawal? what's that?
As far as I know is that Amazon is not supported on Quidco or TCB. I did search on Amazon for retailers on my quidco and still not supported.

many thanks

Hi @markticktock & @cache

Our current rates for Flubit on Quidco are -
11% for Daily Deal
8.8% for Demands

Topcashback -
5.5% for Daily Deals
1.1% for Demands

We won't be beaten on cashback rates, especially with our Highest Cashback Guarantee here http://www.quidco.com/highest-cashback-guarantee/

As I said, "Example".

Amazon bonus cash withdrawal? what's that?
As far as I know is that Amazon is not supported on Quidco or TCB. I did search on Amazon for retailers on my quidco and still not supported.

Amazon bonus cash withdrawal? what's that?
As far as I know is that Amazon is not supported on Quidco or TCB. I did search on Amazon for retailers on my quidco and still not supported.

Okay but how do we do this if Amazon is not supported on Quidco? Is there a specific page or link for this? Because everytime I search for Amazon on the quidco site then I see the same message:

Amazon
Cashback currently not available

So how do we get this cash withdrawel option? Or do we just send you our recent order numbers for this month?

Is the extra 10% factored in already? So for example:
Game currently has through Quidco 3.85% for all Software sales

Is that the final figure, or a further 10% on top of the 3.85%?

A word of warning before you choose to receive your cashback as an Amazon gift certificate: the moment you put it on your Amazon account, it stops being currency.

Amazon can close your account at any time without warning and any gift credit on your Amazon account will be permanently lost, without refund. This does happen regularly especially to users who make several (or high-value) returns.

Additionally, if you buy something with the gift credit and later need to return it you will only be refunded in gift credit. If for whatever reason your account has been closed by that point, you won't receive any refund.

I agree, Quidco very reliable and usually track immediately, TCB awful!

110% @ TCB also.

My 2 x £10 bonus on TCB was paid very quickly. My recent Zalando purchases did not track at all on Quidco and now have to wait months for resolution.

Hi @Alex543

You can choose to withdraw your payment via Amazon gift certificate here https://www.quidco.com/payments/

Hi @sealthard

Yes, we have adjusted all the rates on site to reflect the extra 10%. Let me know if you have any other Q's.

Quidco Company Representative

I stopped using quidco as they have a nasty habit or declining high value purchases, started with topcashback and so far they have been top notch on big ticket items.

if you don't use quidco much, check this thread, you might have a £10 bonus available, I did :sunglasses:
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/quidco-10-free-bonus-back-2545375

Quidco always seem to decline my high value claim, had one of over £100 for a holiday declined blaming the company even though I did everything correctly when making the purchase

Amazon payout bonus now 5% on TCB too.

I'm a TOPCASHBACK Fan. :smiley:
99.99% of the time TCB tracks on mobile and laptop. I use to be heavily dependent on QUIDCO but their mobile tracking is v.poor and mobile app cumbersome - IMHO. :confused:

Even playing their Santa game I have to go on my laptop as it doesn't work on my iPhone.
Transferred the majority of my business over to TCB.

Thomas Crook by any chance?

Hate Topcashback.

Fugly website, always gets me to log in multiple times each visit, always redirects me to the mobile site even though I've bookmarked the slightly more functional desktop site. And all of my transactions this year are taking forever to recover, so I'm having to raise support tickets for each one. Also don't like the fact that they cancel payouts if you don't log in for a period of time.

Quidco on the other hand have always given me immediate responses, and there agents are always friendly and really helpful. That's why 99% of all of my transactions are via Quidco. They've done me proud over the last 7years.

No, first choice

Lol.
I shouldn't laugh, but follow the leader springs to mind.
I wonder if topcashback realise that Quidco went to the toilet this morning. :smile:

i approve that :smile: same experience here
great deal. heat added!

Can somebody amend title to include TCB? Seems like a lot of HUKD members prefer them so would benefit those people?

What is the Highest Cashback Guarantee?

Same here mate, Quidco declined my £50 phone contract cashback, raised a claim, took them ages to investigate and stI'll got declined.

Never had a problem with TCB. Great prompt service.

topcashback created something like this before but it was confusing aswel :smiley:

Hi,

For what its worth Top cashhback over Quidco every time. Quidco will decline high cashbacks so take a screen shot as by the time you have waited for them to deal with it and its gone through all the necessary time frames you will be stuffed.

I seem to recall quidco and hotuk deals have same ownership but stand to be corrected on this. Seems odd Quidco are actually replying / posting on here if neutral.

3 Litre Jack Daniels @ Morrisons from 21st November £50.00 - 1170 degree heat in the last 7 hours but NOT a HUKD PICK. Quidco 400ish heat and a PICK!!

Top cashback are offering the same deal as this so not an unusual / one off deal and low heat yet a pick???

I smell something fishy :smiley:

so do we get 5% cashback just for opting for the amazon withdrawal? Its quite confusing. Can we make a purchase on amazon then claim a cashback? or is it something else hmmm

is same offer on topcash back as well ?

You get an extra 5% payout if you choose to withdraw using the Amazon gift card option. For example if you had £100 balance in quidco, you would recieve £105 if choosing Amazon payment. It would be £100 for the others.

Mmm..about to pull the trigger on a TC holiday. Not getting the cashback could mean I loose ~ £200. I've had problems before with but it was Direct Holidays.

That's the gamble, for me it seemed to be loaded against me. The golden rule I suppose with all these cashback sites is never count on the payout and certainly don't make it a determining factor in your decision

My personal experience says otherwise

And you can only speak as you find.

But, be grateful to Quidco for forcing topcashback into increasing their rates. :stuck_out_tongue:

Normally this would be good news, however just four days ago I withdrew over £100 I'd had sitting with Quidco for ages. At that point of course they only paid 2% bonus for taking it as an Amazon vouchers so I've effectively lost 3% for the sake of a couple of days - not happy. Just one more reason to favour my Topcashback account despite the new rates from Quidco.

Quidco used to be good and quick in payouts. Now they lost the game to TopCashback. They do not care for long standing and active customers. I am saying this being a Quidco member since 2007 and netting around 6K in payouts.

Hi @davidjones123

Our Highest Cashback Guarantee is where we will match a higher rate that you have seen elsewhere and then increase the rate by an additional 10% of the rate. You can find further info on this here http://www.quidco.com/home/

Hi [email protected], http://www.Topcashback.co.uk is much better

what are amazon withdrawals?

All I'm learning from this discussion is that both sites are good, both have different advantages, and neither are perfect.

And both sites say they'll beat other's cashback rates, so there's a never-ending escalating arms race if somebody wants to try.

Hi @freccle

You can opt to have your cashback paid to you either via bank transfer, Paypal, or Amazon gift certificate. If you opt for Amazon gift certificate you will receive a 5% uplift on your payment amount, pretty great right?

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Kind Regards,

Jack
Quidco Company Representative

Didn't know that. I prefer Quidco so will stick with them.

You have to take the premium membership if you want to take advantage of 'faster paying' retailers otherwise quidco will hold up the payment for a further 12 weeks, even after it has become payable. The basic topcashback account does not do this, and this is why I prefer topcashback. Also topcashback give you a little cashback on ebay purchases.

Hi @Jammer

Thanks for your post.

Cashback is credited to a member's account as soon as payment has been received.

@qudicocompanyrep

I have purchased something today for £429 and it has tracked at £12.90 not £42.90 (10%) is this normal?

It's quite likely, occasionally purchases track at a lower rate

That's great, except nearly half of my Quidco transactions are in dispute or have been rejected. Why bother when you can't even reliably get the cashback, it's more like a gamble. The excuse that the retailer is ultimately in control is not good enough either, especially when some of the retailers also happen to say that Quidco is actually the one with the power.

Altogether, Quidco has been a very frustrating experience.

Hi @adamwilko007

Thank you for your post.

Some retailers on site will track your cashback at a lower rate and later update the cashback amount to reflect the correct rate you were expecting to receive. You can find details of this in a retailer's Quidco page terms and conditions.

If the retailer does not state that they track cashback at a lower rate initially, you can raise an incorrect cashback claim to obtain the missing amount here https://www.quidco.com/new-enquiry/

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Kind Regards,

Jack

Interesting how @QuidcoCompanyRep is able to respond to queries in which they are able to big up Quidco but completely ignores this comment.

I find Quidco's website and service perhaps slightly better than TCB, but in my opinion the latter offers overall better value for money. TCB generally has higher cashback (without having to chase for a price match), more varied payout options, and higher bonuses on payouts.

As a premium member, you are told that you get paid faster , yet your comments above imply its not the case. Is it still the case for premium member? Opphs found my answer
Look out for the Faster Paying icon
We've struck deals with certain retailers to slash the time it takes to process payments, so when you see the Faster Paying icon it means that the retailer in question will process your transaction quicker and the cashback will be in your pocket much sooner. Please note — this only applies to tracked transactions and is only available to Premium members.

It's very interesting reading through all the comments on here. I have been very loyal to Quidco in the past but only where there wasn't a clear difference in the amount of cashback. However I've just had a look at my recent transactions through both and it makes for very interesting reading:

Quidco - 10 transactions in 2016 - 9 confirmed, 1 tracked (none paid)
Topcashback - 7 transactions in 2016 - ALL paid

The most recent two Quidco transactions are 31st Oct. (the tracked one) and 22nd June. The most recent Topcashback one is 9th July.

Also worth noting is that I still have Quidco cashback yet to be paid dating back to March last year, in fact I have a total of 7 transactions from last year that are 'confirmed' rather than paid.

So what's the point of having the highest guaranteed rate when it isn't actually paid for 18 months?

Unless you thought the 10% top up was 10% of £429?

I agree totally that Quidco decline the higher value claims. I definitely should have been paid out and again had proof like someone else on here. Quidco told me they'd contacted retailer twice who had declined the transaction, when retailer told me they hadn't been contacted by them at all. Retailer even offered to contact Quidco to sort out issue, but Quidco shut down claim. Total rip off. Wouldn't even allow me to leave negative feedback.

I have just done a comparison between Quidco and Topcashback selecting a random retailer that gives you cashback on both websites.
I picked Nike as and example and here's is a comparision between the two cashback companies:

QUIDCO

all other sales = 7.7%
for Nike iD sales = 9.9%
for Sale items = 4.4%
for selected running shoes = 12%
coupon codes you can use with sale items = none

Topcashback

Nike store (all other sales) = 9.9%
Nike iD = 12.1%
Sale purchases = 6.6%
Cashback & code = CLNOV16 up to 20% off Sale items

As you can see Topcashback wins on everything apart from "Selected running shoes"

yea i did


it is 10% of £429..

"10% for all fast track and home delivery sales"

is it me or do quidco and topcashback have the exact same offers on clicksnap ?

I agree with you quidco have gone down hill in my personal experience, my last 5 tracked cashbacks were declined even tho everything was in order, I opened claims for all and all were declined, have since moved to topcashback after being with quidco for years
all cashback since have tracked and been paid up to yet without any issue on topcashback

maybe I,ve just been unlucky but 5 in a row? nah I don't think so.

Quidco definitely gone down hill.

I am surprised this is again a HUKD PICK as it is the same offer that the other main cashback site has and is therefore not such a deal. Other deals have more heat but are not Picks.

Two quidco deals now hot!!

Perhaps Jack from Quidco could confirm whether Quidco and HUKD are owned by the same people

I didn't think they were as both cashback sites seemed to get mentioned on here quite a lot, although was always more Quidco. Seems odd though that Quidco has a rep on here and never seen one for Topcashback.

I'm sure the OP had Topcashback in the title of this thread yesterday too or am I going mad, if so then there is def. some biasing going on...the title should be updated in anycase I think.

Still not a bad deal though.

Well, not really, because TopCashBack also only charge for 'Plus' membership, so....

I've had thousands of pounds of cashback through Quidco over the last 5 years, but I pretty much exclusively use TCB now because of Quidco's failed tracking and the incessant unread notifications that won't mark as read.

Argos have just sent me a £5 off £100 voucher if I purchase using my Argos Store Card, does that mean the Quidco/TCB would be declined as I have to input a code on payment page? If so, I'm better off waiting for the £10 voucher deal to start up again.

@qudicocompanyrep

Thinking of purchasing something from Currys. On the Quico Currys page says there is an extra 10% off. Is this the same as the extra 10% cashback or in additon to?

Just put the item in my basket to see if it would reduce by 10% but appears not to? Is this because the extra 10% is only off certain products?

As others have said, Quidco has a habit of having large payments declined. I had a couple of those some years ago with Quidco, they weren't interested in taking up the issue. That was some years ago and I've used TCB ever since with no problems at all.
Quidco may possibly have improved, but I won't be going back to find out.

I wonder how you will be able to sleep at night after losing out on £3 of Amazon vouchers

Have to say I've had the opposite experience with Quidco claims.

I've only had to make 3 claims since using quidco, £50 - successful. Another £50 - successful. £40 "paid by quidco as retailer didn't respond". So they paid the £40 cash back even though they never heard back from Vodafone.

made a purchase through quidco + argos expecting 10% back but its only tracked at 3% :disappointed:

tracking at a lower rate is normal, it should update to the actual amount in time. it does say that on there site...

Purchases from this retailer may initially track lower than expected. Don't worry, the cashback amount will be updated before it's confirmed.

We estimate your Cashback will be available by 06 February

I agree and that's my experience, though not Vodafone. House of Fraser was the last one.
When I used to get declines from topcashback, I was told there's nothing further that can be done as the retailers decision is final! Basically, on your bike old chap!

Does the Simply Games 10% apply to games? I says 10% for software and 1.1% for all other sales. It's not clear, and may even be very misleading.

no worries, missed that bit! :smiley:



software is games :')

Just had e-mail off tcb.... they're increasing cb by 30% for members and 15% for none members xx

My Argos didn't track from last night

Hey all,

Just a few responses to clarify a few matters:

@Northern_Dragon: The 'confirmed' status means that the cashback amounts have been made available for your payment request.

So those confirmed cashbacks should be in your balance total here: https://www.quidco.com/payments

If you have requested those payments, scroll down the above page to see which cashbacks have already been paid to you.

@starbidder: Remember, if you find a higher cashback rate for any other UK cashback site, we will match that rate. We will also beat it with an additional rate 10% on top of the cashback received for the matched rate.
More information on the Highest Casback Guarantee can be found here: http://www.quidco.com/highest-cashback-guarantee/

@charlie0308: Purchases can take upto 24 hours to track into your account. Should that not track within that time, don't worry as you can raise a claim using the following link to get that will manually be tracked in: https://www.quidco.com/new-enquiry/

Thanks,
Joseph
Quidco Company Representative

Whilst this doesn't work with Argos Credit Card does it work with normal Argos Card for BNPL?

I bought a game from Simply Games just before midnight - Anyone know if the cashback will be tracked if it's a preorder (the payment hasn't been taken yet).

​Ha, yeah it's been a sleepless few nights. I guess you don't bother with cashback when it's 3% or less then?

I always check Quidco, and then will use TCB as they will match or beat Quidco.

Had even in store purchases declined on Quidco, so no longer use them - I have done and have earned well into 4 figures, but not now.

The problem with Quidco is the very limited payout options. If they allowed to payout to Avios / BA I would use them again.

Mind you TCB have now introduced a very poor captcha and do not allow you stay logged in. very annoying.

​Thanks Joseph, you are right, sort of. On the payments page I can see that those confirmed amounts have been adding to my balance.

However I have no balance having cleared out my account I now have a zero balance but all these transactions still show as confirmed rather than paid.

So what's going on there then?

Funny there is a Topcashback deal on here (10% on ebay) with almost the same heat as this BUT it isnt a HUKD pick and isnt at the top of the home page.

Still smells fishy.. [email protected] still hasnt answered the question are HUKD and Quidco owned by the same people or is there some relationship between them. There definately seems to be some bias to Quidco on this site. :disappointed:

Good deal but topcashback is a lot better than quidco

I made 2 purchases with Microsoft 2 days apart, 3 month ago. Topcashback tracked confirmed, and paid over a month ago. Quidco hasn't even confirmed, I've contacted them 2 week ago and they said it would be fast tracked and they'll chase the retailer this week, still nothing.

Definitely sticking to topcashback

I see TCB are now offering 10% on Ebay, whilst Quidco have completely removed it from their website, thus no need to price match.
I still find it funny earlier comments about Quidco being for their members.....

Cheers OP - saved the money through the year and withdrew today :smile:

Didn't know Amazon had a banking system.

Oh my lord some peeps... if '10% extra cashback' sounds too good, that's because it not 10%+x% of normal cash back but 1.1(x%) in total. The extra % if you opt for Amazon gift card payout I simple love. I feel rich and tend to buy craps when I have a couple of £100s of gift card lying around in my Amz account! And Amazon do prioritise gift cards when you have some in your account while paying. Quidco usually send me an email with the total....some other company cough(hsbc) send you a pile of cards in the post..what? are they still in Jurassic time?

The whole 1.1x is really to combat what TCB's usually do that makes their cash back rate more 'appealing' I would guess ...but unless there is a cashback on value of mortgage, the 1.1x is more psychological rather than anything material imo. I have used Quidco (with no association beside just a member) for 10years and apart from a couple of claimes got rejected, and with the expected latency on cashback with insurance, phone contracts and on holiday bookings (I used a lot you get paid only a month of so after your stay), overall tracking is usually within a day or so and any disputes seem professionally communicated. Although I feel tracking could be a bit hit and miss on mobile sometimes?? (not those you must use a desktop ones). Also, pizzahut nowadays decline cashback on order with discount code..as with say secretsales - sad time. Was sadder when eBay dropped cashback all in the sudden and affected a few purchases I made towards the end. Hey if eBay doesnt pay Quidco what can they do!!

Don't mind the £5 at all for the Premium membership, as they need to pay their staff hired to get back to peeps a bit quicker right? Or you can request call back I think but never used ...and I mean you don't HAVE to opt in right? But I would like soemone at that end to prioritise my case!

And I prefer the Quidco's website, simple to use and less tacky vs TCB.

I ran into one unhappy incident with a bigger cashback with TCB whereby I used a discount code THEY showed on their ebookers' cb page during the time cashback/code were still possible but guess companies realised they were being double-dipped and in the process of changing. Code on TCB and cashback? I thought that's great, don't see them often - so I used TCB with my holiday and you guessed it Ebookers/TCB declined it without telling me if they were wrong showing the code by accident or something else. I specifically pointed out it was from their own site!! Was fuming so told them they might as well close my account as I would never use them again and I haven't so far, years later. They didn't close it though so I kept it in the background in case Quidco goes rubbish or doesn't have cb on a particular retailer/service provider.

A post in this thread with regard to Amazon gift card. As with all gift cards, the debt rank is really really low in the hierarchy so you are very unlikely to be protected if the company goes belly up - so use at first opportunity. Although something tells me Amazon would be safe if not better and less risky (in a cyclical sense) as a business than Apple and more diversified and I can't
Live without Amazon and I haven't updated my iPhone like I used to religiously - even the latter has a pile of cash more than some nations do...but both need to pay more tax locally!!!

Anyway vent done. Happy cashbacking - I'm closing in my £4K lifetime cashback and proud of it!

Gez I just wrote an essay without knowing...sorry!!

You're telling me, I almost nodded off reading it.

Easy to do while munching on a sarnie...hope you got to the end where the juicy bits are
(Just kidding the end is as boring as the start)

It's certainly 4 minutes of my life that I won't get back :stuck_out_tongue:

​Thanks Joseph, you are right, sort of. On the payments page I can see that those confirmed amounts have been adding to my balance.

Hi @Northern_Dragon

To allow me to give you a more concise response, I would love you to grab your account details so I can locate your account and take a look at all your confirmed amounts.

Are you able to send us a message on either Twitter or Facebook?

If so, send that through as a private message with your name and email address included along with the subject line: HUKD - Cashback amounts query FAO Joseph.

Please do not hesitate to let me know if you are not able to do that.

The decline of brains in this country continues.

What are you on about?

Did someone...


get out of the wrong side of the bed this morning?

No. I'm just amazed at the two brainless posts.

Haha, lighten up.

Amazon withdrawals...I'll get my coat.

You should leave yours, you need to stay in.

Where is the list of 10% top ups , is benson for beds included in this ?

Still waiting for my 10% Quidco from Currys from last Black Friday!

Quidco site not available at the moment :disappointed:

Quidco right ballsed it up not being available on probably the busiest online shop of the year , TCB must be loving this

Oops, heads are going to roll for this one. Still not working...

Don't be surprised if Currys don't pay out the full amount even if you follow all the T&C. As I found out!

Mines tracked today but only at 1% from currys made a claim will stick to topcashback if i dont get the 10%
