RE: Supplementary cards.

I got the welcome call from AmEx and the guy said that I could have two supplementary cards on my account for free. I queried (as I thought it would cost £35) and he said they were free. So I gave him the names and got two extra cards....

... Will be checking tomorrow though if they really are free !


My QuidCo also has not tracked but the option is there to make an Earnings Enquiry after 27 May 2010.

You got a welcome call? I applied and got approved on Saturday, should I be expecting a call tomorrow or Wednesday?

Do you think you could call and ask for supp cards for free? I too was under the impression that a supp MR card was £35.

Nexy question... if i apply for a 2nd MR card on behalf of a family member through 'my' quidco will it influence the tracking/payment on my MR card? Basically, will quidco only pay out for one card per account?

They probably only pay out once, as in theory you are only allowed to use your Quidco for transactions in your name. At least thet is what I was told when I asked to swich my moms energy supplier through my quidco account.

How is everyone doing with the bonus points? Mine havent posted yet, My spend is above £500 but i spent the money before the online account was working correctly so my rewards total only shows the points earnt after a certain date.

I've not hit the £500 mark yet as I've stopped using the card. I'm still only getting 1/£ and all the spend so far has been supermarket or fuel. I'm going to wait till thats sorted as I'm sure these accounts have not been built right and wont be surprised if we're still fighting for the 20k bonus in 6 months time

A lady at AmEx checked with New Account Openings and she said that the offer has changed. With a Gold Card you now do get two supplementary cards for free so the guy that phoned me was correct.

It's not working out well so far, is it Also only getting one point per mile for travel spend. I have now put this card to the back of my wallet as well.

+1.

My first 2 transactions didn't give me any MR's at all and my 3rd (travel) spend got me single points.

I might be over pessimistic but, based on my previous experience, I have very little confidence that Quidco will come through on this one.

I'm sorry to hear of others pessimism about quidco. It does tempt fate saying so .... and I know now my Amex Quidco tracking will now either fail or need a nudge because of this post ..... but my success rate at quidco is over 100%.

I've earned substantial cashbacks from Quidco over the last 5 years or so ie several hundred pounds per year for free. I've not made any real effort ie swtiching utilities etc - but I'd say 99% of what I should have been paid has been paid. Added to this, sometimes when a transaction has been cancelled it has still bizarrely been paid.

The chances are the Amex transaction will track or if not as long as it has registered on Quidco then a request sees it go through.

I don't think Amex want to renege on the cashback.

Sorry, I have to ask. How did you manage an over 100% tracking success rate?

My first miles have posted today, shopping at Tesco, and correctly showing as double points:

Bad luck. Still ..... at least it makes it sweeter for those that haven't been refused!
