We have increased the minimum payment amount to £20 but it won’t take you long to reach this amount.
Quidco launches "SureShop"
Quidco have launched a new programme called SureShop
As of today we are launching Quidco SureShop. The Quidco SureShop programme is a highly visible sign that you can depend on these merchants to resolve any problems or enquiries within 30 days of us contacting them with the issue. In the case of missing transactions for example we will be able to have a resolution for you within 30 days from the point we submit that enquiry to the merchant. This is an agreement we have in place with these merchants and any member enquiries from today on will be subject to this 30 day guarantee.
Quidco SureShop highlights:
- Guaranteed resolution time of 30 days from the time we contact SureShop merchants
- Increased confidence when shopping through Quidco that any problems will be sorted
- All missing enquiries on SureShop merchants resolved quickly and at 100% of the missing value
- Enquiries must be accurate and provide all information as requested by the merchant
- A successful resolution will result in the transaction added to your Quidco account - the payment period depends on the merchants invoice and payment cycle just as with a normal transaction.

BigHair to close on the 31st March
Following on from the previous post on the BigHair forum, there is now an annoucement on BigHair’s homepage:
BigHair Closing 31st March
As a lot of people will have noticed, BigHair isn’t getting updated very quickly, and responses to contact emails aren’t really happening. Unfortunately, this is due to me haing absolutely no time whatsoever.
Because I have no time to keep BigHair going, I have taken the decision to close down BigHair at the end of March. All cashback that has been earned will get paid out as and when I get the money from the shops.
BigHair to close
Last week in a post entitled simply KELKOO in BigHair’s forums, it was announced unofficially that BigHair would close.
Well, it looks like Kelkoo are once again rejecting searches. However, they’re only rejecting about 4/5 of the searches, and they’re not giving any clue as to which ones have been rejected.
Typically this means that one again I’m stuck in the position of either revoking legitimate cashback, or paying out of my own pocket for cashback rejected by Kelkoo. I will think about it, and inform you of which route I take.
I guess this is as good a time as ever to say that I’m calling it quits on BigHair. At times it’s been good, mostly stressful, but hey-ho, what’s life without a bit of stress? This Kelkoo situation has accelerated my decision, as I can’t see the point in continuing with BigHair when things like this keep happening.
So there you have it. BigHair is going to close. To make things easier, I will keep it running until the end of March… that way people can make some use of BigHair before it closes. After then, I will pay people as I get paid, regardless of how much or how little cashback they may have accumulated.
Okay, that’s the informal announcement. Something more formal will go on the home page soon.
