Hilton UK - Cashback gone (Quidco and TCB)
Hilton has vanished from Topcashback and Quidco.
Anyone know if this is a blip after the login problems or if it's gone for good?

Yep it's gone 
Hopefully just a temporary thing.
Despite having endless problems with things not tracking at all, being declined for no reason and tracking at incorrect amounts I still managed to get a decent amount of cash back from them.

same here - lots of tracking problems - think only 2 stays ever automatically posted shame as did get quite a lot of cashback ... lets hope is a temporary removal. Others like ebay come and go.

I've never really had a problem with tracking so this is a big loss for me as this was the thing that swung things for me towards Hilton for every booking. If this is gone, I may have to switch back to Hyatt/IHG.

I always used a browser that I regularly erased cookies from, and never accessed Hilton directly (only via TCB) when using that specific browser. A pain... but needed to be done to avoid conflicting cookies.

In principle every time you use PR13CB or PR11PN you don't qualify for cashback...

What is the basis for PR13CB?
Thanks

This is an interesting one if, as it seems, Hilton is no longer on Quidco- do i
a/ Book Hilton direct (without Quidco) just to get the hilton points or
b/ Book via Hotels.com etc to get 10-15% cashback on the booking
I already have a LOT of points and am Diamond anyway so tempted more by b as he money i make off weekly stays is considerable

It can be tedious to get the Hilton # into 3rd party reservations, that's the only downside as some hotels assign better room ahead of time.

Hilton is my biggest spend TCB merchant with about £1950 total. I had some good large stays and got a good chunk of cashback with them. I have two pending, one that I stayed at in March and another that I am staying this week. I also have one untracked claim.
Cool thing about Hilton was that it can only draw out to Tesco so I understood that even if you were over £50 to Tesco then you can still draw Hilton out. Not a situation I have been in for the last 3 years but a situation that I am in now.
I'm not too cut up about Hilton disappearing because I just dropped down from HH Gold to Silver. But having options is always better than not having optons.

Thanks all - yep, will do hotels.com for now - although is there any way to tell tejm youre an HH member? Last time i booked with them the hotel didnt upgrade me or give me the free breakfast , not a big deal tbh but wondered if theres a way they can pass through your member details on booking ?

No breakfast, no upgrade & no points.
