The Quidco reviews for Microsoft are pretty good. Sometimes you just have to persevere.

I'm looking for the cheapest console without any extras. This might be the best current deal. Assuming you get the cashback that brings the price down to £204.99.

Rare Replay will go for about £5 on eBay
Extra controller is about £45 on eBay
Minecraft is about £5 on eBay

Cost of console and controller therefore about £149.99 (before eBay fees). Cheaper than buying a second hand one on eBay.

not used quidco for a while but they sound a right pain in the backside with claims at the moment.....

I think they are hoping people will find it too difficult and give up. They probably have less than 10% of people who will doggedly chase it up so they will be Quids in when they get paid their commission and it isn't passed on. Oh how he other half live!

You can also get this deal for the same money at Game and get Forza 5 instead of Rare Replay

I received this email 10 days ago saying I'd receive the topup in a few days, still nothing.

Forget your Quidco mate you'll probably get about £3...
I'm not aware of anyone that's been paid the stated cashback on Xbox One S console purchases (myself included).
They had £16.50, £23.50 etc around Christmas time and declined.. On appeal it was turned down and unable to complain any more about it. Proper 'swizz'.
