Had a few declined cashbacks through quidco recently. Coincidentally all reasonable amounts. Good deal if they pay out.

I can't send private messages yet as I'm not very active
Thanks anyway

It was here (although no longer there as offer expired): https://www.topcashback.co.uk/argos/

If you send me a private message containing your email address I'll send you a screenshot.

Update #2: they've responded and updated the ticket to £126. Well done them. This means the TV (DX600B) cost £319.

Having a problem with quidco anyone got the link showing the original tcb 15% or even a screen shot please

Update #1: Quidco have responded to my cash back guarantee request and increased the payout by £1.13. I've raised a support ticket and will post the outcome here. Really hope they don't mess me about.

I had a HCG today for something else.. any one else?

I think they take a screen grab but you could point them to this place :smiley:

No response from Quidco yet. The 15% TCB rate expired today. Can't believe that Quidco would be mean-spirited enough to refuse on that basis, otherwise they could sit on all double-difference requests until the competitor's rate expires. Promise I'll update here when I get their response.

Went for it. Ordered TV @ £449 yesterday. Recorded entire journey including cookie deletion. Cash back tracked at Quidco rate. Posted double-difference request last night. Will post outcome on here.

I actually went through with this, but reading everyone's experience and the response - I will return the TV and buy it off Amazon I think. For me not worth the hassle of chasing it when it inevitably becomes a fight

quidco seem to be horrendous of late
the last £10 bonus my order didnt track so £10 missed
i did the aa credit card yesterday to get the bonus £10 offer i had again and again not tracked
abysmal is being kind

Hey all,

Great to see you all interested in making use of our Highest Cashback Guarantee service. Just a few responses to your posts:

@boofuls1 & @Henlans - You are both right; Cashback with Argos will not be paid for Reserve & Collect purchases... So the payment has to be made online rather than in-store so we can track that.

@twinkle - Argos will take around 3 months to process automatically tracked cashback, and 4 months with claims (from the date the claim was raised). If that hasn't happened yet, we'll already be on the case trying to get that for you as delayed cashbacks are a pain. I'm glad to see that you've managed to get 4 of your 5 Quidco £10 bonuses.

@scottishpunter - That comes as a result of TCB offering 15% for TVs over 449 whilst the rate on our site is 1.05%... We then double the difference (between both rates) of 14% to make 28% and add the 1.05% on our site to make the mentioned 29% rate.

@LankyChris - Sorry to hear that.. The good news is that we will always chase incorrectly paid cashback when the rate don't uplift to the correct amount.

@steveymp - We will work to make sure that we get any delayed cashbacks sorted for you, so that your bonuses get paid too. Do not hesitate to get in touch with our support team via your Support Tab or on Twitter/ Facebook at any time to check for any updates/ movement with those cashbacks.

Kind Regards,
Joseph

Has anyone taken the plunge with this to try and get the 29%?

​send your complaint to the ASA.

I don't intend to back down, I am currently awaiting a further response from Currys, I just need a simple reason or explanation as to why it has not been paid as advertised, once I have established the reason and who is resposible for not paying I can then start a court claim for the amount owed to me, I have used the small claims court before and it worked in my favour, the courts hate false advertising. The problem I have at the moment is that Currys initial response is that they have paid the referral fee to Quidco but won't confirm the agreed percentage as they say that is between them and Quidco, Quidco just say they haven't been paid so someone is telling porky pies. Just need to find out who.

Not sticking up for Quidco but if Argos paid 1% then you can't expect Quidco to pay 10% but really should say to Argos you either pay what you said or we won't advertise you're site on Quidco. In regards to the hcg offer then they would have to pay it. If you see what I mean as that's a deal between u and Quidco

forgot to mention that the ASA are taking this up on my behalf.I wonder if they will also send them a copy AND paste response

I am going round in circles with Quidco customer support at the moment who just seem to keep sending me copy and paste answers, they advertised 10% cash back off all tv's over £1000 at Currys a few months back, cracking deal I thought, made the TVs cheaper than anywhere else, I bought a £3700 tv expecting somewhere in the region of £370 cash back, needless to say it didn't come to fruition, for some reason it tracked at £2900 (but they tell you to ignore amount) the cash back was paid only recently but they gave me £29 which is 1% rather than the 10%, when I raised a support case they just keep telling me that they didn't get paid by Currys so can't pay me, end of. Don't rely on the cashback or the advertised amounts as it seems they can just say anything and advertise any offer at any amount and then play the 'it's not our fault' card when you get scammed. Personally I don't know how they can get away with it, it feels like they are blatantly misleading you, the kind of thing you would expect from rogue traders, advertising an offer then refusing to honour it ! But won't tell you why, it leaves a bitter taste. Rant over.

I must say that my personal experience has been dreadful. any excuse to delay payments even though I understand its the retailers but when it clearly shows for example a £50 cash back and to only get half and to be told the reason is because I didn't meet the guidelines is complete bull crap. I'm sure others wouldn't of had these kind of experiences but they can suck a duck (quidco)

Had a lot of issues with Quidco lately these offers never seem to track at the correct amount. To be fair to them they have always rectified it but not without a lot of tickets going back and forth. Just screenshot everything to be on the safe side.

what about TVs that are exactly £449, are they included? http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5339178

Had a few declined cashbacks through quidco recently. Coincidentally all reasonable amounts. Good deal if they pay out.

I'd say take screenshots of the rates when you buy as I doubt quidco will let it go very long before matching the TCB percentage.

Quidco always been good for me, earned almost a grand over the years and I don't even use it that much. TCB on the other hand took almost a year to get my first pay-out (after many emails) and most of the times it never tracks with them for some reason so I stick to Quidco personally.

voting cold, As has been said, Quidco=Cowboys, I've had deal posts turned down by HUKD from established UK stores because of one technicality or another, Yet deals relating to these rip-off merchents still get the thumbs up.
And they won't try and weasel out, They just won't pay you and leave it at that.

"In the aforementioned categories a maximum 10% top up will be applied to retailer rates. In these cases we will beat the advertised cashback rate on a rival UK cashback site by 10% (for example, 10% will be increased to 11%)"

THEY WILL NOT DOUBLE IT - YOU WILL BE LUCKY IF THEY MATCH TCB!

QUIDCO = WASTE OF TIME

op its from argos via quidco.

I agree 10% max increase on existing retailer rate. Can see them offering a total of 16% maximum as the new rate in order to beat TCB. Shame as I was going to finally get a decent 4k if 29% casback.

Quidco is also owned by the same dude who owns this website! :man: Boycotted Quidco a long time ago due to declined payments.

Gave this a go, let's see!

Quidco never pay out

I have a lot of 'tracked' items that never paid out

Argos and Quidco don't mix :disappointed:

I have 5 outstanding transactions from last year still not paid and no signs of my £10 bonus from one of the transactions either, I wouldn't be too hopeful of getting 29% as I'm still waiting on 1% for most of mine :confused:

Yes, they can just not pay you, the cashback is never guaranteed.

This would bring the LG OLED65B6V down to ~£2300, compared to ~£2640 if bought via TopCashback, which is obviously quite a difference...Can anybody see a way that Quidco could try to weasel their way out of paying out?
One T&C that concerns me is regarding not paying in conjunction with other offers - this TV currently includes a free sound bar, so is best to just play safe and go with TCB?

Voted cold, Quidco Cowboys..
Paying double the difference, or double of nothing..
Ripped me off with the Curry's offer over black Friday...
Never again...
I'm tired of the lame excuses.

TCB all the way for me. Excuses galore not to pay out. Got too big for their boots now.

Been let down by quidco again, wont trust them anymore. Better off using topcashback, they always seem to pay what they advertise without excuses.

never seem to get cashback paid at argos through quidco

58 inch Panasonic for £600 if this tracks :smiley:

I only see 8.4%

Any recommended tv's? I was looking for a Samsung ks7000 or a Hisense m7000 but they don't stock either..

Great discount if it works!

I'd suggest confirming on online chat before purchasing so you've got it in writing. I did similar prior to doing a big amount cashback guarantee recently. They later confirmed it but at a lower amount but convince them to pay as they'd already agreed it in the chat.

Sorry - how do you get 29%, is it account specific or due have to request? My account is showing 1.05% for Home Delivery and Fast Track

Quidco will double the difference of the cashback rate offered by a rival UK cashback site (for example if a rate of 8% is advertised by a retailer on Quidco and 10% is offered elsewhere by that same retailer with the same stipulations, Quidco will increase the cashback by 4%, thereby upping the total cashback rate to 12%)
Quidco’s ‘double the difference’ Highest Cashback Guarantee will be applied to all retailers aside from those in the following categories: travel, utilities, finance, insurance, telecoms, subscription services, gambling, bingo, casino, poker and sportsbook.
In the aforementioned categories a maximum 10% top up will be applied to retailer rates. In these cases we will beat the advertised cashback rate on a rival UK cashback site by 10% (for example, 10% will be increased to 11%)

I have had 4 of my 5 Quidco £10 bonuses paid though....everything just seems to be taking ages.

I dont trust quidco either.

I used it before Christmas and got 25%...but the retailer hasn't confirmed the purchase yet.....you take your chance I'm afraid.

Me too, I don't feel so confident about Quidco anymore.

Had a few declined cashbacks through quidco recently. Coincidentally all reasonable amounts. Good deal if they pay out.

TVs £449 and over for Home Delivery and Fast Track Collection (So you cant reserve and pick up) you have to pay for it online and then collect.

Don't think it works on click and collect

seems a great offer.
