BCf detectives needed. Had an email from quidco saying they owe me 20 quid. The email camera from quidco@e.quidco.com... The "e" in the email is making me suspicious.

Do you use Quidco?
Looking at the link it seems to be legit as the domain is still quidco.com
If it was quidco.e.com then it would be a different matter but e.quidco.com seems to be owned by quidco.com

Personally, I'd be careful with that one. If you're not using that service than ignore.

Maybe it is legit... hmmmm!! If it is.. £20.00 up Thumbs Up

It is legit!!

Just checked my Natwest and it had £20.00 credited... sweeet.

I thought Quidco was a load of shit to be honest as never heard anything after I bought breakdown cover. Taken a good few months to get paid but hey I've been paid so cool beans.

Well quidco has Bubbs stamp of approval. Now what else can I buy.

Bonus!! I quote like Quidco and do all my ebay purchases thru it, had over £100 back in 12 months so basically free money.
I set my payments to pay when there is £10 there rather than just paying a few pence in at a time. Thumbs Up

I don't understand why you had to ask for advice? They told you that it had been paid into your account and did not ask for any details. What was the problem?

Thought this was going to be one of those Nigerian 'your auntie just died and we need your card number' threads. Laughing

I got a free £10 gift from quidco the other week and didn't expect anything much from it but it was paid into my account with no conditions attached or anything.

I find quidco and cashback sites in general to be great but only if you were going to buy the item eligible for cashback anyway. I found quidco while I was looking for a new sim only phone contract. I'd already decided what deal I wanted and with which carrier and was about to buy online when I saw the quidco deal offering £100 cashback for the same contract just doing it through them. I thought I'd give it a go and got the contract after clicking through quidco as I wanted it anyway and there was no increase in price then sure enough about 2 months later quidco paid £100 into my account - happy days!

Also, only use cashback websites if the retailer that you're directed to is the cheapest place to buy the item. There's no use buying something for a tenner and getting 2% cashback if you can buy it for a fiver from somewhere else.

Many things like ins etc. Will take a few months to payout. As the retailer has to confirm all the details are genuine and make sure you simply don't cancel month after payment.

Usually says on retailer link, payout time. Sometimes you have to raise a dispute. Easy to do and usually works.
