Quidco claims....
Discussion
Not sure if anyone will know,
However I recently signed up to Quidco, I've switched my energy to nPower through them, which garners £70 cashback, however the claim has been "declined".
I couldn't see why, so raised a claim, it's still showing as "Claim raised" however nothing's happened in a fortnight...
Help! How long does it usually take, am I getting it wrong and is there a "human" e-mail address to talk to?

I'm just a bit concerned about the initial query I raised because I couldn't find the nPower account number then- The switch has happened now though, so I hope it'll come through soon.
Some cracking deals on there, have registered my cards and even now get 4.5% cashback at Hellfrauds...

I've tried Quidco a couple of times and it's not worked either time, possibly because of me comparing deals before committing. I would have said it seems like a scam to me except that I know it does work for some people. Would using a different browser to do the buying make any difference? The problem must be with something I'm doing.
I'm well into four figures now with my Quidco cashback, as long as you are smart you will nearly always get the cashback. Here are some tips (lifted from http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/cashback... )
1. Think of cashback as a bonus only - it's not guaranteed
2. The cashback isn't yours until it's in your bank account
3. Never store cash in a cashback site - withdraw it ASAP
4. Focus on the cheapest deal - not the cashback
5. Consider clearing your cookies
Rule 5 is probably the most important. - If you used a comparison site to find your cheapest insurance/fuel/etc then there is a chance the comparision site will get your cashback. Same as if you visited the retail site before using Quidco, clear your cookies!
Quidco themselves suggest you may want to use an alternate browser for quidco buying only but I would maintain clearing cookies is best.
I set up a separate bank account and have my Quidco paid into that regardless of amount, this way the money is with me, not with them.

Another long term Quidco user here (just shy of £1000 earning).
I've made 3 claims in the past:
hotelsclub (appeared not to track) = success
hotels.com (made 2 very similar bookings within minutes and only one tracked) = success
npower = declined
I paid close attention to the npower terms (the offer was £90 at the time), it tracked successfully, I signed up as per the terms... then a few weeks later it displayed as declined.
I raised a support ticket, provided the information I was asked for - then the claim was rejected, the reason given as 'Not a Quidco sale'.
Interesting that I may not be alone. Has anybody successfully received cash back from npower?
