Quidco CrimboBingo is live! Get in to grab loads of bonus cashback

November 15th, 2008



The days are getting unreasonably short, the weather is getting unreasonably cold but the Christmas season is just getting warmed up!

After last years huge Christmas Cup we've tried to outdo ourselves to bring something bigger and better to Quidco. With that in mind we're excited to announce the biggest ever Quidco promo: CrimboBingo!

To get your share of the bonus CrimboBingo cashback we'll be handing out, you'll need to log in and get your hands on a bingo card. Once you have a card, you can invite up to 3 other people to help you out with filling it in. You can't leave a team once you've joined it so make sure you choose your team-mates carefully! If you don't need the help and want to keep all the bonus cashback for a card to yourself you can also play solo.

Each Quidco-tracked purchase that a team member makes at a participating merchant will 'stamp' one of your bingo squares. Once you have a row of 8 stamped (horizontally, vertically or diagonally), you and your team will be awarded £5 bonus cashback (per card). Then you can grab yourselves another bingo card and keep it going! We have a limited number of cards, so once they're gone CrimboBingo is over.

The bonus cashback will be split evenly between team members, and will be calculated and added to member accounts by December 31st, 2008. Teams can fill unlimited cards until the total number of CrimboBingo bonus available (£64,000) runs out OR until December 20th, 2008 if the cards are not all filled by that date.

Read the rules of play

Have fun, good luck and Merry Christmas!

bought from glasses direct 24hours ago, still hasn't tracked can't submit enquiry for 12 weeks. when will this track quidco?

Mariejader December 11th, 2008 a 08:29 am

can someone confirm what this means please?

"Each Quidco-tracked purchase that a team member makes at a participating merchant will âstampâ one of your bingo squares"

Does this mean any purchase from a merchant that is on the card, so for example 02 is on the card but you don't earn cash back for accessories so if you purchased an accessorie should the card stamp???

simon31leeds December 10th, 2008 a 10:09 am

I have now made purchases from Magazine Group, Ebay and M&S (Magazine Group and M&S have now tracked but not yet Ebay) and not one of the three have been stamped on my card. Quidco advised last time I had changed my card hence why my previous transactions to this hadnât tracked, but these transactions were all done on my new card and not one has tracked. How can I have any faith that if I go ahead and shop on all the other merchants to try to get a line that they will actually track???? An answer Quidco please.

cheerleader December 5th, 2008 a 11:27 pm

i've ordered from gizoo as well & it hasn't shown up as tracking yet as well :-( will we still get paid £20 for our completed line where gizoo, firebox & game have't shown as tracking yet?

cheerleader December 5th, 2008 a 05:29 pm

can someone from quidco help me please? i ordered from firebox on 3rd dec & it hasn't tracked yet :-( & someone else on my team ordered from game yesterday morning & that hasn't tracked yet either :-( can this be sorted cos the £20 line finishes tonight?

leeannethorniley December 1st, 2008 a 05:37 pm

Points everyone in the direction of the newest entry in the Quidblog.... £20 bingo money :-)

al88 December 1st, 2008 a 04:51 pm

"Weâve changed the time for these enquiries so you donât have to wait the usual time"

Can you do the same for all the CrimboBingo merchants? My Tesco transaction didn't track.

Mando December 1st, 2008 a 02:21 pm

Hi Blakely,

If you are still looking for people to join Cashback Kings count me in!

pinklady756 December 1st, 2008 a 02:11 pm

Thanks, have submitted my pixmania ticket!

QuidcoCarol December 1st, 2008 a 01:32 pm

Hi everyone, there will be an announcement soon regarding the promos, but in the meantime, if you've had a Pixmania transaction for the CrimboBingo that hasn't tracked, please submit an earnings enquiry ASAP. We've changed the time for these enquiries so you don't have to wait the usual time before submitting them. You can submit an earning enquiry via http://www.quidco.com/new-enquiry/

jockess1 December 1st, 2008 a 11:48 am

Quidco when are we getting the promotions???? I am not buying anymore until I see what the promotions are as this crimbobingo is skinning me :-(

mumto7 November 30th, 2008 a 10:20 pm

santas helper if any one wants to bother with my card im currently on my own

Teallach November 30th, 2008 a 09:41 pm

Only 20 days to get through 12774 cards!! Maybe Quidco could split the remaining cash between those of us who have participated;)

loupomm November 30th, 2008 a 09:25 pm

well we now have 14 stamps and 2 more pending from purchases tonight, but still nowhere near a line :(

Teallach November 30th, 2008 a 08:46 pm

Just realised that I'd bought from 3 of the companies on my bingo card before I signed up for the game. Saying that, even if they were all stamped, it would still only give me a max of 2 on any line!

philroscoe November 30th, 2008 a 05:42 pm

i would settle for pixmania tracking and a new card!

pinklady756 November 30th, 2008 a 03:40 pm

£5 for each of the 4 team members rather than £1.25 would be nice!!

yanying November 30th, 2008 a 02:43 pm

very disappointing ,Quidco didn't change the rule to get £5 bingo winnings for 8 random stamps ! So unfair.

seztanswell November 30th, 2008 a 09:07 am

Now that would help if the two members were communicating with me at all... but it's a wall of silence! It's a shame you can't message people directly here.

mutsnuts November 29th, 2008 a 11:16 pm

The Quidco staff member who posted last is wrong. You CAN have team members removed, our team did it, the team member who wants to be removed has to request to be removed themselvs. We did it a couple of weeks back so i know for a fact that quidco will remove members if asked to.

loupomm November 29th, 2008 a 09:35 pm

13 stamps now with 4 in a line at most, theres no line that we can complete without making a dear purchase that we dont need, not changing cards at his stage, waste of time, i hope the promos are worth it!

Teallach November 29th, 2008 a 05:54 pm

For me, there are too many mobile phone retailers on the cards. Like a lot of people, I had already done a lot of my Christmas shopping and just have a few bits to get.

jockess1 November 29th, 2008 a 02:51 pm

I think what is a shame is that when the bingo first started people didn't realise you could delete the cards to get the best one. The other problems didn't help like the tracking and stamping. I think it was a mistake putting some of the retailers on the bingo list. It will be impossible for most teams to complete if they have the high priced merchants on there line that is nearly completed. I also am disappointed Quidco have failed to come on the blog and update us all. I am hoping this is because they want to tell us good news about all the promotions coming up for the crimbobingo.

seztanswell November 29th, 2008 a 01:30 pm

I agree! 14 stamps ( well done kristieoliver...lol ) and another two untracked ( Glasses Direct and Vodafone ) which would make the most in a line 5 if these came through... It's a complete waste of time.

kristieoliver November 29th, 2008 a 01:07 pm

We've got 14 stamps (well done setzanswell!), but most is 3 in a line, and the merchants in between are generally high value purchases. I appreciate it sounds like ungrateful sour grapes, but I didn't expect the reality to be so difficult - nigh on impossible - for £1.25! Isn't there a way of making this as rewarding as it should be? It seems that most members are frustrated and disappointed with the reality of the game.

sgould November 29th, 2008 a 09:56 am

The idea seemed so good and when i first started to read about it i thought great. I have just realised that if a team even completed one card, which really would require all 4 to make purchases in real reality to get £5 between them, the chance of completing a 2nd or 3rd would be really slim. How many times will 4 people buy from similar shops over 1 month?

Really I think quidco made a big mistake. Each card should have had a much higher prize and allow bigger teams.

summersnearlyhere November 29th, 2008 a 09:31 am

I thought this would be a bit of fun and when I saw my bingo card realised it was actually going to be extremely difficult to get a line of 8 with the merchants in the orders that they are on mine. However, my team have made several purchases that we would have made for Christmas anyway and I must admit to one totally unnecessary one, albiet a small one, just to get a stamp. Unfortunately HMV, J PICS, AND The Hut haven't tracked, (two purchases from different memebers for The Hut as well!). When I read the blogs that some people have had cards randomly completed after attaining 8 stamps it spurred us on as this at least gave everyone a chance but no when we get 8 stamps this has been stopped.

Quidco how do you expect to get rid of your other thousands of Crimbobingo cards now?? ? I think you'll be left with quite a lot as there is not much time now and most believe savvy enough to using Quidco for their Christmas shopping will be nearing the end of it too!

Mightymoosie November 29th, 2008 a 09:23 am

How on earth are you going to "giveaway" 12000+ more cards when people have to get 8 in a row. The cards were hard enough to fill when you had to get 10 "anywhere" (due to the glitch!) - your original figure hasn't gone down by much has it - despite us all shopping away to get 10 stamps per card. I guess you won't be giving away much more of the allocated fund then before the deadline. Come on Quidco - why not revert back to the 10 anywhere stamps? The cards even then weren't exactly flying off the shelves!

loupomm November 28th, 2008 a 03:29 pm

lmao - what a complete farce

seztanswell November 28th, 2008 a 02:30 pm

Quidco- How about giving team members the option to leave a team if they feel they won't contribute?

pinklady756 November 28th, 2008 a 10:51 am

We cannot complete our line :(

2 team members (myself included) have purchased from the remaining merchant Pixmania and neither has tracked or stamped. What a waste of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No tickets can be put in for 28 days and it's ruined our chances completely, why are these merchants even allowed on Quidco?

quidco November 28th, 2008 a 10:28 am

Hi everyone, We apologise for the problem with the random stamping. That's been fixed now, and all cards will require completion of a line before the card is completed.

Unfortunately it's not possible to remove members once they've accepted the invitation to join. There is more information in the Rules of the contest, linked in the original post: "Each team can consist of 1 to 4 Quidco members. The membership of a team cannot be altered, changed or disbanded once a membership invitation is accepted. Team membership will persist for the duration of the promotion. A team may only be disbanded by the team admin if no other members have joined."

Finally, we appreciate the suggestions about the leftover stamp, etc. As pinklady756 mentioned above, please keep an eye out here for extra promos! :)

seztanswell November 28th, 2008 a 09:58 am

We have two team members in Crimble Fairies who haven't stamped or communicated... missing one stamp from Glasses Direct too and can't enquire until 2 weeks have passed.

juliakerr November 27th, 2008 a 10:46 pm

We are missing 3 stamps we should have had, are nowhere near a line, and have a team member who stopped communicating the minute they were invited.

kristieoliver November 27th, 2008 a 09:43 pm

Kind of agreeing with you!! I did the Jpics one anyway....11 stamps, but nowhere near a line - I don't think it's working the way Quidco was hoping unfortunately. Still waiting for a response to all of the issues raised in this Blog.

seztanswell November 27th, 2008 a 09:15 pm

It's ridiculous... I've bought from at least three merchants I wouldn't normally have bothered with and still nowhere near a line! All for £1.25p... I'm a fool.

loupomm November 27th, 2008 a 08:03 pm

well we have 12 stamps now and 1 pending but still no chance of a line, im not expecting any team member to bust a gut to buy expensive items for a share of £5, when theres little chance of us completing another, very disappointing :(

mutsnuts November 27th, 2008 a 07:52 pm

they need to launch them very very soon as this wasnt thourght out very well and they still have well over £63 to give away lol

pinklady756 November 27th, 2008 a 03:18 pm

Had response to a quidco ticket I put in, re: random number of stamps completing the card for some teams. They confirmed this was happening but has now been fixed.

Also told to "Keep an eye out for the extra promos, they'll be launched very soon!"

kristieoliver November 27th, 2008 a 01:35 pm

Great! I'll do Jessops then - I just need a couple of pictures printed.

seztanswell November 27th, 2008 a 12:09 pm

Please Quidco... remove team members who have not stamped one single merchant! Only half of my team (Crimble Fairies) are contributing!

Well done Kristieoliver, we're still waiting for glasses direct to track and I'll be doing Vodafone and maybe Photobox aswell soon...

mutsnuts November 27th, 2008 a 02:09 am

Has every one noticed that Quidco staff have stopped replying to anything to do with the bingo!...

sdl811 November 26th, 2008 a 09:49 pm

i need members for jinglecash...got a few stamps already......

maestrodude November 26th, 2008 a 02:54 pm

I really like the idea of this "competition" but something really doesnt add up.

If £64,000 is to be given away, that means that 2,500 rows/columns have to be filled in PER WEEK! According to the main crimbobingo page there are still 12,776 cards left which means that only 24 have actually been filled in! So where will the extra £63,000 go?!?!

loupomm November 26th, 2008 a 02:53 pm

well its been 11 days and only 24 cards taken? thats £120 IF they are compled of course lol, only another £63,880 to go lol, before dec 20th? so 24 days left!! still on our first with possible no chance of completion even with 11 stamps and 2 pending :(

iancuddy November 26th, 2008 a 01:36 pm

Loathe Christmas with a passion? Does the thought of cheesy adverts, packed-out shops, Cliff Richard, TV re-runs and eating turkey for days and days make you groan inside?

For those who love a bit of festive humbug, join the 'Misers and Scrooges' Chrimbobingo team!

jockess1 November 26th, 2008 a 12:47 pm

We have had more than 8 on a card and it didn't complete the card so not sure why others are saying it works. Another team also seemed to get two cards completed at the same time which is starnge. We completed our card and got £5 they completed 2 cards at the same time and got £10, you tell me how 1 team can complete two cards at once??? There is flaws for sure just not in my favour lol.

kristieoliver November 26th, 2008 a 10:06 am

sentzanswel - yes I did! I will be stamping Photobox or Jessops in the next couple of days, but not sure how far it will get us. Would be really useful if Quidco could clarify the rules. I have also read others who have said they had cashback for 8 stamps anywhere on the board!

tonygee33 November 26th, 2008 a 10:06 am

Shame this crimbobingo started now for me, I'm waiting for the january sales to buy goods, So i didn't think it was fair to join a team as all I have bought since this started is a £9.99 purchase from play.com.

pinklady756 November 26th, 2008 a 09:01 am

I've read at least 3 comments from people completing cards without 8 in a row. Ranging from 8 anywhere to 10 anywhere. Has to be the same rules for everyone, otherwise it's just a complete farse. Either something is going wrong or people are posting rubbish to wind others up.

Another flaw in this whole thing is transactions not tracking, the amount of time some merchants say you must wait before you can raise a ticket, means you might never complete your line in time.

seztanswell November 26th, 2008 a 08:28 am

Hi kristieoliver! Did you stamp feelunique and the body shop? I know that I did the other 8 (9 with the untracked glasses direct!). Just wondered if the other 2 members were contributing at all...

kristieoliver November 26th, 2008 a 08:20 am

Would also be interested to know whether 8 in an 'indirect' row count eg going up, then sideways, then down? We have 10 stamps but not all joined. It seems nigh on impossible given a lot of the missing merchants for a straight row would be huge purchases!

pinklady756 November 26th, 2008 a 08:13 am

oops! mean 9 in total with 7 in a line, waiting for the 8th to track and stamp. Would have been good going!!! lol

Blame my cold, feel like my head is on backwards!

kirsteenx November 26th, 2008 a 07:30 am

I'm prob unlikely to fill a line on my bingo card but if anyone would like to join me for fun (just to be in it - you never know) then let me knwo here and I will add you.

mutsnuts November 26th, 2008 a 01:53 am

9 in a line! on a card thats 8 by 8 thats really good going hehe

loupomm November 25th, 2008 a 10:40 pm

9 in a line? you only need 8 in a row anyway? but we also have 11 and nothing received

pinklady756 November 25th, 2008 a 10:29 pm

Definitely think that we should get on update on this!

Has anyone else heard talk of getting £5 bingo winnings for 8 random stamps? Can't be true, we have 11 in total now, with 9 in a line and 2 others. We haven't received a bean. Waiting for final merchant to track and stamp to complete our line, but it's been hard work and more deserving than a pitiful £1.25 each :(

loupomm November 25th, 2008 a 09:29 pm

well they have said it will be given away, how, we were not told

mutsnuts November 25th, 2008 a 07:16 pm

Ive asked this a few times, the first was about a week ago then 5 days ago on here, can left over stamps can be carried over onto a new card once youve filled a line. Still no reply from quidco about it or anything about how they plan to give away £64k in the near impossible bingo game.

leeannethorniley November 25th, 2008 a 12:12 pm

I actually found a good deal on a merchant site that I wouldn't normally have used because it was on the bingo card.... £10 off a £50 spend and free delivery at House of Fraser. So got a Christmas pressie with £10 off plus cashback :-)

dragonsden November 25th, 2008 a 11:30 am

Seems a rubbish competition. Chances of people getting even 1/4 of £5 are slim. I wonder after the competition is closed if Quidco will state how much it paid out?

sgould November 25th, 2008 a 08:34 am

After i pressed submit I thought, "I cant believe I am talking about next Christmas already"

sgould November 25th, 2008 a 08:33 am

Quidco, Last year you were attacked for having too few prizes and a competition that was dominated by businesses, this year you are being attached for a vurtually impossible competition that gives very little for a spend. Maybe next year, a few months before Christmas you can run a competition that asks people for ideas, then Quidco chooses a few viable ideas and puts them to the vote with the winning idea getting a prize.

Feydrauther November 24th, 2008 a 09:52 pm

Stop being tight and donate a few pence to a worthy charity - Ty Hafan Childrens Hospice In Wales - for charity.

latecomer November 24th, 2008 a 01:45 pm

I've received an invite for a card but apart from the name of the group and the motto I cant find anything about it/them. Am I missing something? I'm probably not going to be able to participate a huge amount so dont want to ruin someones chances are completing it. Also I take it there is no way of communicating with the members of the group other than by spamming the quidclan?

pinklady756 November 24th, 2008 a 09:51 am

seztanswell - if you send a ticket about this they will be able to change it for you. I sent them a ticket listing bingo team and the quidclan I wanted to change it to and it was changed really quickly.

seztanswell November 24th, 2008 a 09:44 am

I'd also like to change the associated quidclan.... will this be made possible?

jockess1 November 24th, 2008 a 08:45 am

I deffo think the people in a team who are no longer buying for the team should be removed. It shouldn't be to hard to get a line if you get a decent card and everyone picks two shops. It is unfair if a team member disappears and reaps the rewards whilst other members then have to buy from extra shops. Hopefully Quidco will find a way round this.

seztanswell November 23rd, 2008 a 05:16 pm

I didn't know that at the beginning either, I thought you were just stuck with the first... no chance of me getting a line, especially as the other member is neither stamping or communicating! :-(

amanda November 23rd, 2008 a 04:56 pm

I didn't know u could change cards to the best that suits you, if our team has already got stamped, is it still possible to change cards or will we loose the stamped retailer?

coollittlew November 23rd, 2008 a 02:08 pm

Nice suggestion pinklady: Our team have talked about this. It is also discouraging us to buy thing that are not on the line and waiting. Which is not working in the merchants favor or ours!

loupomm November 23rd, 2008 a 11:25 am

good idea pink lady,will help some im sure :) we have 12 stamps already and 1 pending but no where near a line :( and cant put off shopping for what we need till we have a new card as we dont think we will get there, as none of us need to purchase from the expensive retailers and wont just for a share of a fiver, can just hope there will be promos that we will qualify for, fingers crossed! good luck all xx

jockess1 November 23rd, 2008 a 11:08 am

I think that is a good idea pinklady

pinklady756 November 22nd, 2008 a 11:50 pm

Quidco - please, please could stamps not forming part of the winning line be carried over to the next card?

I think a lot of people were not aware that these extra stamps would not count. Our team personally will have at least 3 in addition to the line we've almost got. It would be great if these were not wasted, recent offers with many high street merchants have meant purchases had to be made there and then to take advantage of those prices.

mutsnuts November 22nd, 2008 a 11:33 pm

@quidco - i was only joking about staff buying new cars with the left over money, i know its for a big party really lol

jockess1 November 22nd, 2008 a 11:03 pm

my firebox has not tracked or stamped. Nor has ebay and I have bought twice from both mrechants and it just not tracking.

juliakerr November 22nd, 2008 a 10:18 pm

quidco - I would say that the best way to prevent any abuse of removing members would be to only allow members who have not contributed any stamps to be removed from the group.

loupomm November 22nd, 2008 a 09:43 pm

hmv does stay at 0.00 till dis[atched, then it will show your earnings, maybe your stamp will come then?

chel42uk November 22nd, 2008 a 09:16 pm

i don't understand how this works - bought something from hmv which has been tracked and validated but my bingo card is empty and i'm showing as zero earnings. how long does it take? it validated a few days ago now

EllieBeth November 22nd, 2008 a 09:09 pm

That should bo JOIN - shame you can't amend any of this?!

EllieBeth November 22nd, 2008 a 09:08 pm

Why not koin the Why are we doing this? Crimbobingo team?

pinklady756 November 22nd, 2008 a 07:53 pm

Thanks quido, look forward to hearing about the promo's.

Re: slackers, see your point with giving admin rights. Is there a way for you to automatically detect those members who didn't contribute anything to the bingo card, so they don't get a share of the winnings/are removed from it? Not sure if that's something that's possible, would be fairer than just taking someone's word for it.

yanying November 22nd, 2008 a 07:49 pm

my photobox haven't tracked in my Earnings ,shop 3 day ago , now i got my order. My card wasnât stamped. what happen now? Just wait??

loupomm November 22nd, 2008 a 07:28 pm

has anyone had problems with jpics checkout?

it takes payment details then says please proceed to next payment?!final payment group, whats that all about? >going in loops

vangewood November 22nd, 2008 a 07:13 pm

Ok, my Debenhams purchase tracked but my card wasn't stamped, what do I do now?

seztanswell November 22nd, 2008 a 06:44 pm

What about only being able to remove 'slackers' if they haven't contributed to the card at all...

loupomm November 22nd, 2008 a 06:19 pm

thank you for the reply quidco :)

suggestions for any 'slackers' maybe remove members only if all the team agree?

quidco November 22nd, 2008 a 05:31 pm

Going through the comments it's hard to know if people mean tracked or stamped? If something isn't in your Earnings let's use the word 'tracked' - if it's in the Earnings but not on the card let's say "stamped". Hope that makes sense? That will help us troubleshoot any problems!

There is a delay between when something is tracked and when it gets stamped as a script has to run but it should only be less than an hour - not a day!

About slacker members. The problem is if the admin can boot members off then the admin could technically abuse that buy getting members to stamp cards and then booting them from the team! If anyone can think of a way around this let us know.

@mutsnuts - The prize fund is for giving away to membes. 100% of that is going to be gone to members by the end of the promo. We are not keeping any of it for ourselves!

@loupomm - We are taking feedback on board and there will be some promos happening to help people complete the cards. We want everyone to win - that's the idea of this!

loupomm November 22nd, 2008 a 05:23 pm

ok so my argos has tracked now lol, my card does not say completed jojo1234 and we have 10 stamps

jockess1 November 22nd, 2008 a 05:17 pm

Firebox hasn't tracked for me either and quidco said they were not aware of a problem with the merchant.

Lilmich84 November 22nd, 2008 a 05:16 pm

I could do with and Invite :)

loupomm November 22nd, 2008 a 05:14 pm

have argos track but not stamped, please sort these out quidco cos it could hold up teams from moving on :) and a response on any change in rules will be appreciated xx

ruby0080 November 22nd, 2008 a 02:36 pm

I've ordered from Firebox, Additions and Maplin and none of them have tracked yet, let alone be on my card :(

cheerleader November 22nd, 2008 a 12:11 pm

marks and spencer order i made a couple of days ago hasn't tracked & isn't showing up on our card :(

loupomm November 22nd, 2008 a 11:57 am

fingers crossed as that would be sooo much fairer!!!

jojo1234 November 22nd, 2008 a 08:13 am

have you changed the rules our card got 10 stamps and it says its completed, don't want to get too excited, have had a few mistakes on earnings lately could this be another? :)

swaymyway November 22nd, 2008 a 01:19 am

Not really digging this one Quidco, but I think it's great you go that extra mile to come up with these unique and interesting competitions...roll on the next one and hopefully it'll be a bigger hit :)

yanying November 21st, 2008 a 11:57 pm

i have shop at photobox (received my photos now),still not tracked or shown on bingo card. :(

ebay has finally tracked for me

vangewood November 21st, 2008 a 05:23 pm

My trouble was Debenhams, it tracked on my Quidco account but didn't get crossed off my card, spent on Ebay last night and that got crossed off today

seztanswell November 21st, 2008 a 04:07 pm

glasses direct not tracked for me...

ruffles November 21st, 2008 a 03:42 pm

littlewoods direct hasn't tracked for me ??

whitty999 November 21st, 2008 a 12:30 pm

i have shopped at a few of the stores on my card but really confused as they have not been crossed of

pinklady756 November 21st, 2008 a 12:17 pm

ebay still not stamped on our card, are the others who mentioned trouble with ebay still waiting?

vangewood November 21st, 2008 a 12:06 pm

I have a purchase tracked, but not showing on my bingo card

ejmdkb November 21st, 2008 a 10:20 am

i have a couple of purchases not tracked or shown on bingo card - do i just raise a normal ticket/enquiry?

mutsnuts November 21st, 2008 a 09:34 am

little responce from anyone at quidco regarding all this, they must be out of the office taking the new cars for test drives lol

paulstuttard November 21st, 2008 a 09:01 am

It was a great idea, and well done to Quidco for setting it up, and have to admit I stupidly have bought stuff from retailers I would not normally use (HMV) so it has worked to some extent. But the only reason I'm doing it is the hope that towards the end Quidco change the rules and I'm lucky enough to meet the new conditions!

Some Ideas:

Make it more like real bingo, each team has a strip of 16 cards (or 4 cards for each member), each stamp is across _all_ cards - this would make better sense for a team as more likely to get £5 each.

I've made a number of purchases at one retailer but will only get one stamp, even though the amounts were quite large. Perhaps just have normal bingo style cards, and each purchase randomly stamps the card. Appreciate some people may abuse this by doing lots of small purchases at ebay.

Probably too late to change the rules significantly though. Presumably as all the participating retailers have to agree? So I'm hoping that in the last week Quidco do a lucky dip or something, teams with the most stamps get the cash back?

mutsnuts November 21st, 2008 a 08:54 am

quidco - can we totaly delete are cards? I dont want to be part of this anymore, its a joke.

tillybud November 21st, 2008 a 12:14 am

just read thro a few more comments on here after posting my comment above and i gotta agree with what most are saying. £5 split 4 ways is a bit tosh.. and the card i got means someone is gonna have to do some hefty shopping before we can get 8 in a line.

I think this is a great idea- i wonder if QuidCo can alter it now it's already begun to take into account some of the stuff we're saying??

Hope so (",)

tillybud November 20th, 2008 a 11:45 pm

i got an invite to a team so i took the plunge and joined.. is there a way to communicate directly with my team tho?

and how do i 'stamp' my card when i make purchases.. or do QuidCo do that for the team?

Cheers QuidCo, and a merry christmas to you all (",)

mutsnuts November 20th, 2008 a 10:31 pm

The plan is have a nice wad of cash left for some staff cars in the new year lol

juliakerr November 20th, 2008 a 09:51 pm

I agree, I think that the competition is good in theory, but this is the first time it has been done so there are bound to be things that need changing.

I think the main issues are being able to remove inactive members, excess stamps carrying over on to a new card and offering bonuses in some way (e.g. for having a stamp for a particular merchant, or getting x amount over the whole card)

al88 November 20th, 2008 a 09:47 pm

I think a few tweaks are necessary, in particular letting us carry over unused stamps to the next card, but let's give quidco a break, I'm sure they're doing the best they can.

mutsnuts November 20th, 2008 a 09:30 pm

well looking at the stats they have 3 cards with lines so far, thats £15 in 5 days, at that rate they may have to pay out a whole £100 by the end of the bingo lol

Vicious77 November 20th, 2008 a 08:23 pm

Well im glad im not the only one! I raised the point of this competition being a farce ages ago. Where is the fun in spending hundreds of pounds at shops.merchants you would NEVER usually use for a measly fiver? Im guessing that the £64,000 pot that quidco has is probably from projected extra comission.

This "competition" is a sly marketing ploy to increase sales. Maybe im being synical but i doubt there will be ONE person who soley qualifies for the bonus credit as nobody will use such a broad spectrum of merchants EVER, nevermind for the duration of this competition. And as for the chrimbo clans, im guessing the few that do get the bonus fiver wont be over the moon at the £1.25 or so they recieve after shelling out a fortune.

Come on Quidco, change the competition to something everyone can win for just entering, not having to spend a fortune. This competition is miserly at best. Its christmas after all!

loupomm November 20th, 2008 a 07:46 pm

yes imutsnuts, its such a shame, and we only have just over a month left? a disaster!

mutsnuts November 20th, 2008 a 07:43 pm

This bingo lark is actually stopping me from shopping, not encouraging me to shop more! I could stamp these right now: argos, tesco, mothercare, asda, avon, pc world and orange but they are scatered all over the card so its stopping me from using these till a later date when we get a new card. Anyone else found this?

al88 November 20th, 2008 a 07:40 pm

Quidco please let us carry unused stamps onto the next card!

simon31leeds November 20th, 2008 a 04:24 pm

I have to agree with Strawdogs comments - it's crazy that you need to shop at 8 retailers (at least, probably a lot more to actually complete your line) for £5 you'd probably need to spend a few hundred pounds across the board some of which will be at retailers you wouldn't usually use. I generated 1/2 a dozen cards before finding one that I'm even vaguely comfortable with but I have to be honest that I probably won't even bother with the competition as it feels like collecting 100 stamps one for each time you buy a coffee just to get one free cup of coffee - the reward compared to the cost doesn't stack up. It's also not really bingo, as bingo involves an element of luck whereas I don't see that in Crimbobingo - it's all about spending a stack of money at retailers you wouldn't usually use.

glitter27 November 20th, 2008 a 04:09 pm

I'd like to join a team so please can someone send me an invite!!! Am planning on doing some shopping today.

JGreenslade November 20th, 2008 a 04:07 pm

Ebay seems to be tracking but not stamping

pinklady756 November 20th, 2008 a 03:59 pm

Also, agree that non-contributing member should not recieve a share of the winnings. There seems to be a lot of talk about free-loaders sitting back and taking advantage of the fact they cannot be removed.

Very unfair!!

pinklady756 November 20th, 2008 a 03:56 pm

6 in a row rather than 8 would give a much better chance to everyone, offering more diagonal options.

So when you complete a line the extra stamps are worthless? I thought you could work on the same card building up more lines. That's complete pants then, we have 1 or 2 extras in addition to the line we're working on, are these wasted stamps then?

loupomm November 20th, 2008 a 03:52 pm

another idea could of been to each week announce a few random retailers and if your team had them stamped you win x amount, this would still mean each team try to get as many as possible to increase their chance of a prize. then a new card starts untill the next batch of retailers are anounced, as it would be random, everyone would have a chance.

mutsnuts November 20th, 2008 a 02:00 pm

Quidco - - Could it be sorted out so that left over stamps be carried over onto a new card once youve filled a line, this would make it a bit better. Also if a member hasnt contributed at all they should be auto removed when a line is complete.

mutsnuts November 20th, 2008 a 01:47 pm

if you want someone removed from your card you need to get them to request to be removed with quidco, there is no other way.

Dreamer87 November 20th, 2008 a 01:42 pm

Still problems with ebay stamping

jayden0606 November 20th, 2008 a 01:33 pm

I would like to join a group please so am happy to receive invites. Can I join more than one card? Got lots of shopping still to do and I will be doing it all online.

Strawdog November 20th, 2008 a 01:14 pm

Quidco this seems like a very poorly thought out game to me - last years competition was a bit of a joke with the resellers bulk buying to shift on via eBay along with those people who were lucky enough to be buying items on behalf of their companies meaning most catergories were completely out of reach for the vast majority of members but it at least seemed like fun.

This just seems fairly pointless given the tiny reward for filling a line, needlessly complicated and doesn't contain that staple of all good competitions - the chance for someone no matter how limited their buying power to 'get lucky'.

I think after the amount of work you've no doubt put in you'll not be in any rush to withdraw it but I'd be interested to know if you've done any calculations based on buying patterns to come to conclusion you'll be able to award £64,000 in prizes before the closing date because personally I think you'll have a large amount of that pot left when this competition finishes.

juliakerr November 20th, 2008 a 01:06 pm

I agree, it might be better to offer smaller prizes for getting x amount of stamps.

Also, there should be a way of getting rid of a team member if they have not yet contributed something. We have a member on our team who has stopped contact since this started, and collected no stamps. Yet they will benefit from us shopping through particular merchants at our own cost. We knew this person beforehand and could not foresee this.

From the people I have spoken to, it seems we are not the only one this has happened to and some people are purposely joining a group and then just sitting back and hoping for £ to come their way

seztanswell November 20th, 2008 a 12:37 pm

Still can't get anyone to join me and I've only got 3 stamps all in different rows... think this game is a bit of a no hoper... :(

nimishshah November 20th, 2008 a 08:49 am

If anyone wants to join my crimbobingo let me know. Its called Credit crunch Xmas busters

pinklady756 November 19th, 2008 a 11:49 pm

I agree with loupomm! A line of 8 in any direction inevitably includes an expensive brand. Sharing £5 between 4 is pants and it's not even that likely that most teams will achieve that when you consider the above. Come on quidco, perhaps a re-think on this. I think there are enough members saying the same thing.

al88 November 19th, 2008 a 10:25 pm

@mutsnuts Crimbobingo started on the 15th, but Quidco might be nice and stamp it as it was only two days before. Really unlucky if they don't!

yanying November 19th, 2008 a 10:03 pm

clairebear30 i've sent an invite to you ,wish to see you become my team member, my team is dream come true.

yanying November 19th, 2008 a 09:59 pm

i 've invite people by their username, after that what did they need to do? how they join into my team?

loupomm November 19th, 2008 a 09:26 pm

to be honest as great as the idea is and it could of been fun, but i think its a bit of a long shot for our team, we already have 8 stamps but none to form a row, all of which all have an expensive site on, which no one could be expected to buy from to get a share of a fiver lol,maybe a certain number of random stamps on each card would of been fairer even if it was more than 8. so i doubt we'll get to card 2 lol, but a fun idea and good luck everyone :)

clairebear30 November 19th, 2008 a 08:13 pm

need to join crimbo team,invite free at moment!! buying from hmv, play.com & other small purchases - thanks

seztanswell November 19th, 2008 a 08:01 pm

I need to change my bingo clan as I've got members from a different one... is this possible?

mutsnuts November 19th, 2008 a 06:26 pm

what date did the bingo start? does my contract phone from orange on the 13th november count?

quidco November 19th, 2008 a 05:50 pm

Hey guys - we're working on those stamping bugs. Just when we thought we had it squashed we got it again this morning! It should be sorted out soon (again!).

loupomm November 19th, 2008 a 04:16 pm

my firebox and orange stamp are still missing, im guessing these tthings will hapen, but have raised a ticked, thank you :)

Mariejader November 19th, 2008 a 01:39 pm

hmv and game are tracked but not stamped on my card

mumto7 November 19th, 2008 a 01:14 pm

still no stamps for ebay or littlewoods direct on my card

jockess1 November 19th, 2008 a 12:23 pm

Firebox is still not tracking. I have made 2 purchases since yesterday and still not tracked and they are normally quick. So lose out on my cashback and stamp? Quidco please sort this.

pinklady756 November 19th, 2008 a 08:01 am

Same here, Ebay tracked yesterday but still not stamped on bingo card

zanneone November 18th, 2008 a 10:04 pm

When does the stamp go onto the merchants logo? I've bought something on Ebay and its tracked but it isn't showing up on my Chrimbobingo card? HELP...!

loupomm November 18th, 2008 a 08:20 pm

ignore the message above, sent it thank you :)

loupomm November 18th, 2008 a 08:14 pm

how do you start a ticket for the crimbo please?

quidco November 18th, 2008 a 08:05 pm

@loupomm - You can do as many cards as you want!

quidco November 18th, 2008 a 08:04 pm

The Firebox and eBay stamping should be fixed now!

@loupomm - Send us a ticket and let us know what happened. We should be able to fix it.

@lorraine021270 - We've moved those auto messages to the team card page.

Davidw1 November 18th, 2008 a 08:02 pm

I'll join someones team

loupomm November 18th, 2008 a 08:00 pm

seems a lot of hasle for £5 between 4, shame cos the idea looked fun

loupomm November 18th, 2008 a 07:39 pm

i deleted mine without realising, i lost 7 stamps :( can anything be done?

Rainebow November 18th, 2008 a 07:28 pm

Hi, new to all this but want to take my chance with Chrimbo Bingo - have set up a team that is in desperate need of members - anyone want to join Christmas Rainebows? xxx

pinklady756 November 18th, 2008 a 05:39 pm

How do I change the quidclan associated with my bingo card?

Accidentially selected the wrong one :(

lorraine021270 November 18th, 2008 a 05:39 pm

plz plz plz quidco get rid of all the crimbo bingo messages from the clan forum boards cause it is ruining the important messages about the clans!!! can there not be a forum board just for the crimbobingo messages.........

seztanswell November 18th, 2008 a 05:16 pm

Join meeeee! Crimble Fairies :)

loupomm November 18th, 2008 a 03:33 pm

firebox still not stamped despite having received my item and tracked in my earnings, as above theres nowhere in conact us to enquire, thanks

mutsnuts November 18th, 2008 a 03:32 pm

i was advised by a quidco staff emeber that if you deleted a card without realising your stamps would be removed, to open a ticket and quidco will add them manualy for you, not sure if that only counts if you did it when the cards wernt displaying properly or not though.

dtether November 18th, 2008 a 01:50 pm

"@dtether - To get a new card you have to delete the old one. The option should show beneath your card. Itâs not really something you can delete by accident. "

Ah found now what you mean by "cycle card" : BEWARE anyone else doing that - it seems that DELETING a card also deletes any stamps on it - kinda implicit I guess, but NOT spelt out when you do it.

Can't see us getting a line anyway - maybe worth trying to get one if the reward was more worthwhile eg £50 shared between the group, but £5 shared is frankly a bit of a let down. Still can't look a gift horse in the mouth - participants are getting something for nowt and aren't required to participate.

One of my team members purchased through ebay on sunday, it has tracked but the card has not been stamped??

RuthPhillips November 18th, 2008 a 09:17 am

QVC hasn't stamped for me yet my shopping total from last night is showing in my earnings......

paulstuttard November 18th, 2008 a 08:48 am

Firebox still not stamped, where in 'Contact Us' do we contact you about stamps not working?

quidco November 18th, 2008 a 01:58 am

@dtether - To get a new card you have to delete the old one. The option should show beneath your card. It's not really something you can delete by accident.

quidco November 18th, 2008 a 01:58 am

@m13/clarebartlett - We're fixing that Ethical Superstore stamping bug. We'll get it sorted and your card will get stamped for that don't worry!

clarebartlett November 18th, 2008 a 12:40 am

m13 - I've got the same problem with Ethical Superstore/ZeroPointZero not stamping my card, transaction Sat night, still no stamp :(

zoe1 November 17th, 2008 a 10:05 pm

Hi Pleasean i have an ivite to join a group
Thank you

dtether November 17th, 2008 a 08:26 pm

Anyone know WHERE the 'Cycle your card' option was ? I never noticed it - and just seemed to get landed with a card :( Hopefully others won't overlook it !

steveymp November 17th, 2008 a 07:54 pm

Silly me Quidco, New Years Resolution, must learn to read :)

Great stuff as always:)

mutsnuts November 17th, 2008 a 07:43 pm

@quidco - Thanks for that info, I'll put a ticket in ;) Can you please answer my query about editing the card members, there are a lot of people who want to edit things as it wasnt all clear when setting it up. My card has 1 member who doesnt want to be on the card as they dont use internet shopping enough so I need to remove them so the other 3 of us can fill up are lines and not have to split the extra cash with someone who spends nothing.

mumto7 November 17th, 2008 a 07:39 pm

ive had ebay and littlewoodsdirect track but no stamps as yet

m13 November 17th, 2008 a 07:20 pm

Ethical Superstore tracks as ZeroPointZero so doesn't stamp your bingo card. Bah humbug!

ruthw1 November 17th, 2008 a 05:54 pm

I'd like an invite off someone please!!

norstar November 17th, 2008 a 04:43 pm

Is it me or is this Christmas Com not as good as last year. I agress that last year could have been split to allow more winners, but I can see a New Year competition coming with the left over un used cards.

It looks like you clearly have to spend a lot more than £5 to get your cashback (which is split through the team). Where as last year the winners came out well.

Maybe there should have been half as many cards, with £32,000 going to a prize draw that everyone could win that has purchased.

loupomm November 17th, 2008 a 03:53 pm

ive stil not had my firebox stamp yet it tracked for me and had despatch notice

also is it a £5 per person per line which isnt too bad, £5 between 4 is a bit miserly! pmsl

quidco November 17th, 2008 a 03:42 pm

@mariejader - Give it a few hours after it tracks to stamp your card. If you still don't see it please get in touch through Contact form so we can take a look. If something didn't track get an enquiry in asap.

@mutsnuts - Transactions map to the card that was valid when they happened. If you delete a card then and get a new one the only transaction that will map to the new one are those that happen since that new card was open. If you deleted your old card by mistake raise a ticket and let us know and we'll mark off those transactions manually.

@mutsnuts - Yeah we might make it an option for the clan admin to turn off those messages. We put them in so others could see progress but on some big clans there is a lot of messages.

@rosecatjr - Are the invitees looking in their home page?

@steveymp - You're missing a zero there :) It's £64,000 worth which is bigger than last year!

@footix2 - You don't need to do 64 merchants! You only need to make a line anywhere you choose.

Martysinc November 17th, 2008 a 03:23 pm

Im up for an invite folks!!! Reckon ill be ticking off a fair few with my crimbo shopping!!

Mariejader November 17th, 2008 a 02:51 pm

CrimboBingo bonus available is £64,000 not £6400 Steve

steveymp November 17th, 2008 a 02:30 pm

Sorry but this is not a patch on last years christmas special :(

£6400 split between all us :(

C'mon Quidco you can do better than that

footix2 November 17th, 2008 a 02:28 pm

64 merchants between 3 people, for a fiver. Yeah right

rosecatjr November 17th, 2008 a 02:26 pm

I have sent two invites which haven't been received, am I doing something wrong?

Robmods November 17th, 2008 a 01:23 pm

For some reason my tracked ebay purchase hasn't appeared on my card. Is it because they all track as having occured at midnight rather than when they actually happen ?

Mariejader November 17th, 2008 a 09:07 am

I would like to change the clan also as Mutsnuts has requested

mutsnuts November 17th, 2008 a 09:00 am

Quidco can we also remove a card member, I have a member who says they dont want to be on a card as they dont shop much online so wouldnt be fair to the others.

mutsnuts November 17th, 2008 a 08:41 am

Quidco can we change which clan all the auto posted messages go to? when we all got our cards there was no mention of the system flooding the clans with junk posts.

RuthPhillips November 17th, 2008 a 08:40 am

How do I join someone's team???

mutsnuts November 17th, 2008 a 08:19 am

The other day when the cards where a mess I deleted our card and got a new one only to find that didnt display properly either, I then left it a while and Quidco must of fixed the problem. My question is why arent the stamps showing now? there werent any showing before I changed the card and a member has used a couple of the merchants since and they arent showing!

Mariejader November 17th, 2008 a 07:42 am

I should have at least three stamps on my card, I cannot see any difference, my purchase on one has not tracked either, do I need to raise a ticket quidco?

quidco November 17th, 2008 a 03:59 am

@Vicous77 - Last year we had super huge prizes but the complaint then was not enough members won. So this year we are trying to get as many prizes out as possible so lots of members can win. We will make sure that by the time it's over all the bonus CrimboBingo cashback has been given to members.

Don't forget that you can choose to complete any row horizontal or vertical or diagonal and you can refresh your card when first claiming it.

Vicious77 November 17th, 2008 a 02:06 am

I dont want to sound a scrooge or anything but its going to be really tough to get a line on your card and is it really worth it? You need EIGHT merhcants, some who only sell expensive electrical items. Id guess you might have to spend about £200- £300 just to get your £5 bonus. Even less if your in a team, quite a huge outlay for a little return. Methings this £64,000 cashback stash is actually going to be future comission for Quidco bringing in the extra custom for these merhcnats.

Am i being a bah humbug or does anyone agree?

quidco November 16th, 2008 a 11:22 pm

@coollittlew - It looks like you deleted your card and took a new one?

clarebartlett November 16th, 2008 a 05:20 pm

All looking good here, apart from one transaction which is tracked but no stamp :)

quidco November 16th, 2008 a 05:20 pm

The card display bug and stamping delay should be fixed. Hopefully that's the last of the bugs!

NonDumbBlonde November 16th, 2008 a 04:39 pm

I'm a big ebay user so if anyone wants to invite me please feel free

loupomm November 16th, 2008 a 04:29 pm

thank you for the update

quidco November 16th, 2008 a 03:44 pm

We're getting this bingo card bug fixed - and also the stamping delay. Please don't delete your card in the meantime as it will lose those stamps. We'll make sure any missing stamps are put in!

joolscrouch November 16th, 2008 a 03:40 pm

Have a card, need team members who might shop at different places to me. (I'll do at least ELC, play.com, ebay, M&S).

Blakely November 16th, 2008 a 12:12 pm

Same as loupomm and the card is funny :(

clarebartlett November 16th, 2008 a 11:53 am

Just to add to the 'my card is a funny shape and my transactions from last night (6 or 7) which have tracked have no stamps' club :)

loupomm November 16th, 2008 a 11:44 am

my card is also a funny shape, and no stamps showing for 6 transactions made yesterday that are all trracked

juliakerr November 16th, 2008 a 11:36 am

I could not resist it, my group is called big breasted women, geuss who is invited to join :-)

November 15th, 2008 a 10:27 pm

Hi to all if anyone wants to join santas sack then plz plz let me no, surely little fairy cant get all stamps by herself!!

quidco November 15th, 2008 a 09:50 pm

@adamuk82 - You need to have the card claimed and then do the transaction. I think the stamp delay was related to the problem other members mentioned above but that should be fixed now. If you deleted the card the transaction won't count for a new card... Maybe raise a ticket and the admins can manually stamp it for you?

Anyone else reading - Don't delete your card if you want to keep stamps for any transactions during that time!

adamuk82 November 15th, 2008 a 09:34 pm

How does this work? I bought something at play.com and didn't get a stamp, then i deleted my card and got a new one, still nothing, does this mean i won't get the stamp now? The transaction shows in my earning, do you only get the stamp when its paid?? Thanks

November 15th, 2008 a 07:39 pm

Iâm up for an invite :-) Im looking at argos, play and ebay atm xxxx

xsazzyjayx November 15th, 2008 a 07:06 pm

Hmmmm I now have a link to view my card but no card shows? Just a blue box that says delete?

bigweapon07 November 15th, 2008 a 07:06 pm

you might find it on the server, the internal one.

ooh i am so clever

quidco November 15th, 2008 a 06:56 pm

We're checking out this internal server error...

Mariejader November 15th, 2008 a 06:54 pm

Hmv also which genrally tracks within a hour, this is also on the christmas bingo card!!!

bigweapon07 November 15th, 2008 a 06:52 pm

was going to start a team but cant be bothered so am up for joining a team. buy lots off the following. game, the hut , ebay, hmv and looking at maplin and pc world soon for computer bits.

invite me at your peril, ha ha

coollittlew November 15th, 2008 a 06:51 pm

I can not join my invitation, I keep getting an internal server error

xsazzyjayx November 15th, 2008 a 06:43 pm

Do you keep getting an Internal Server error?

dinkyclare November 15th, 2008 a 06:41 pm

same here no joy in actually getting a card!

xsazzyjayx November 15th, 2008 a 06:37 pm

Can anyone tell me where I can see my Bingo card? I have tried to get once twice and each time the page has come back with an error....when I've tried again my Teamname has been taken so the card must be created somewhere? Sorry if the answer is obvious!

vikashjain November 15th, 2008 a 04:59 pm

I am open for Invitation...any takers?

quidco November 15th, 2008 a 04:19 pm

@xpander - You can associate your team with a Quidclan and chat in the clan. The idea is that Quidclans will show how many winning teams they have so you can rank your clan against others.

@norstar/Chantelly - You can invite anyone if you know their Quidco member name. You can see your invites on your Home page.

macaroni November 15th, 2008 a 03:39 pm

Me too ....... must start the shopping soon......please give me an invite ;)

atkrhome November 15th, 2008 a 03:37 pm

Im available for an invite too, got zero christmas shopping at the mo so lots to spend :D

phunkiephedora November 15th, 2008 a 02:33 pm

Please invite me ... I need to get my Christmas shopping done!

Zyyb November 15th, 2008 a 02:31 pm

I'm up for an invite :-)

November 15th, 2008 a 02:13 pm

Argh have already done most of my crimbo shopping,not that I need another excuse to spend more £££s!!!

maemaesmummy November 15th, 2008 a 01:01 pm

anyone want to invite me?

mutsnuts November 15th, 2008 a 12:52 pm

never mind, i found it now lol :)

mutsnuts November 15th, 2008 a 12:51 pm

ok so i created a team, invited a friend now what? where do i see the card? i must be missing it somewhere but cant find it

seztanswell November 15th, 2008 a 11:47 am

and xpander I agree with you after looking at my card!!

seztanswell November 15th, 2008 a 11:43 am

I'm trying to make purchases from Play and M&S using the crimbobingo links but they're not working..... anyone else got this problem?

xpander November 15th, 2008 a 10:30 am

Having looked at the bingo card in my team, I reckon the chances of ever getting £5 is very slim!

Chantelly November 15th, 2008 a 10:26 am

How do we know if we have been invited?

norstar November 15th, 2008 a 09:31 am

we need a place to invite others or see whos teams are avaliable

charltok1 November 15th, 2008 a 09:27 am

Anyone want me to join their team??

depresion November 15th, 2008 a 03:43 am

If you are going blind then at least you can get a stamp for Glasses Direct.

xpander November 15th, 2008 a 01:20 am

Unless I'm going blind (possible), there doesn't seem to be any way of talking to the other members in your team? Wouldn't it be a good idea to be able to do so through the bingo-card page itself?

Discogod November 15th, 2008 a 01:17 am

play is there...

waihunglee2002 November 15th, 2008 a 01:14 am

Too bad play.com isn't there..

Any chance of adding them?

abx November 15th, 2008 a 01:04 am

My bingo team is called BingoStar, can an admin change it so the related QuidClan is my "CrimboBingo" one please! :D

originalmelephant November 15th, 2008 a 12:51 am

ok not in a team yet, I still have a few xmas pressies to buy (I-pod) etc within the next few weeks so feel free to invite me :)

brownmurder November 15th, 2008 a 12:51 am

am i allowed to invite you quidco :P

quidco November 15th, 2008 a 12:42 am

@juliakerr - All the cards are randomly generated patterns of the same 64 merchants. You can cycle your cards until you find one you think is the best for you to go after.

xpander November 15th, 2008 a 12:41 am

Someone invite me into their team! Please!

Discogod November 15th, 2008 a 12:33 am

here you go guys, list of retailers here:

Hey Big Spenders!

so yeah, we'll rack up those vouchers!

juliakerr November 15th, 2008 a 12:33 am

Are all of the bingo cards the same, or are the retailers in different positions on different cards

quidco November 15th, 2008 a 12:32 am

xpander - Sorry all the image links aren't live yet! You can see the list here for now: http://www.quidco.com/help/128

@Blakely - You need to invite people by their username. Choose carefully though as you can't leave the team and will split your bonus cashback with them.

xpander November 15th, 2008 a 12:24 am

And who are these participating merchants?

Blakely November 15th, 2008 a 12:21 am

Someone join mine! Cashback Kings (The Kings of Cashback!)
