Optimizing your browser settings is a crucial step in ensuring successful cashback tracking. By enabling cookies and temporarily adjusting security settings, you create the conditions for seamless tracking during transactions.
However, there are a few things you can do to ensure you always get your cashback without a hitch. Follow this handy guide and say goodbye to missing cashback!
Top tips for successful cashback tracking
Sign in to your Quidco account: Cashback can only be tracked if you start your shopping journey by clicking through to the retailer from your Quidco account.
Enable cookies: Cookies are small files that help websites remember your activity. Ensure cookies are enabled in your browser settings so we can track your purchases.
Disable pop-up blockers: Pop-up blockers can sometimes interfere with the cashback tracking process. Temporarily disable them while shopping through Quidco.
Avoid private browsing: Don't use private or incognito browser windows when shopping for cashback. These modes prevent cookies from being stored, which are essential for tracking.
Disable any Virtual Private Network (VPN) tools: these will interfere with the cashback tracking process as some VPN tools prevent tracking methods required to help you earn your cashback.
Complete your purchase in one go: Adding items to your basket and returning later to complete the purchase can sometimes lead to cashback being declined. Aim to complete your purchase in a single session.
Clear cookies before shopping: Clearing all cookies and browsing data before making a purchase can help ensure accurate cashback tracking.
Ensure purchases are made under your name and Quidco-linked email: Always make purchases under your name and the email address linked to your Quidco account to avoid tracking issues.
Avoid multiple browsers or tabs: If possible, try and stick to a single browser window and tab while shopping, as opening additional ones may disrupt tracking.
If you're making multiple purchases in one session, consider the steps above and remember to return to Quidco to click through to the retailer again.
Extra Tips
For extra peace of mind, download our Quidco Cashback Reminder extension. This handy tool will give you a nudge if you visit a retailer that offers cashback without going through Quidco, so you never miss out on savings!
When purchasing products like insurance through comparison platforms, always start with a fresh quote and proceed directly to the payment page. Avoid unnecessary navigation or distractions to ensure proper tracking.
For advanced tips, consider disabling firewall or security settings that might block the necessary tracking cookies temporarily during your transaction.
What if my cashback doesn't track?
Even if you follow all these tips, there might be a rare occasion where your cashback doesn't track automatically. Don't worry! You can easily raise a missing cashback claim within 45 days of your purchase.
