[Official UK] Xbox 360 Special Offers & Deals


Recommended Posts

Has this expired? Doesn't seem to work for a Reach pre-order.

It was for 24hrs only.

Jack of All Games are doing it cheaper than The Hut (even with the 10% off), but they'll take money on order...

Next best price is Zavvi £35.95 but with 3.5% Quidco it'd be £34.70, so just a little more expensive than The Hut were. Sometimes Quidco can be generous though and offer more cashback than they state. Try preordering and see what they give.

Back in April when I ordered a tonne of preorders from them I was supposed to get £1 odd but instead they gave me £2+

23 Apr 2010 Zavvi 33.95 2.38 paid

How does Quidco even work? I've never used it before.

It's really simple. Using Game as an example...

1) Sign up for an account

2) Search for the e-tailer you want to buy from (Game)

3) Follow the link to Game's site

4) Sign into Game & buy the game just like you normally do

5) Few weeks later, profit!

----

Red Dead Redemption for £31.54 at Shopto (using Quidco)

----

New Xbox 360 + 3 games for £200 at Argos (possibly 4% Quidco too)

Add the console to your basket then click the Special Offers tab and check your selection of games. They come in bundles which is the only down side (i.e no mixing and matching games).

----

Metro 2033 for £14.41 at The Hut (using Quidco)

It's really simple. Using Game as an example...

1) Sign up for an account

I'm using Zavvi. How do I know that I'm routed through Quidco? There's no indication in the URL or anything.

It tracks it with the clicks/cookies and the browser session. You gotta be careful not to disturb the process & make a clean purchase without messing around or it could risk not being tracked.

* Make sure your computer & browser are configured properly.

* Clear cookies & cache, disable pop-up, ad, & image-blockers.

* Log into Quidco and click on the retailer link on the Quidco site.

* Don't type anything in the address window of your browser after logging into Quidco.

* Don't open any other tabs or windows in the same browser, or click on any links in tabs or windows that may already be open.

* If you must visit another site before completing your purchase, please use a different browser to do so. Interrupting the browser session that started from Quidco can affect tracking.

* Don't use unauthorised voucher or other discount codes. Authorised codes are displayed on the retailer page.

* Don't use "refer a friend" programs or promotional links from other sites.

* Complete your purchase online, all in one session.

* Keep all email confirmations and documents from the retailer - just in case you need to use the information for submitting an earnings enquiry.

If you're tracking doesn't work you can contact them and provide the details & they'll query the e-tailer then give the cashback.

Might take a few days to appear on your profile. It goes through stages like Pending, Processing, Validating & Paid. Payment doesn't actually happen straight away, it can take a few weeks or months before it goes into your account. As long as it was tracked/valid then it will eventually happen though so just be patient.

And when it comes to vouchers check the details on the e-tailer's page on Qudico. Some won't honour cashback if you use vouchers. From experience I know Zavvi will let you use vouchers & Quidco so you'll be fine.

This varies on a retailer to retailer basis. Where possible, Quidco aims to always offer our members the ultimate saving by combining cashback with voucher codes. However this is not an option with all retailers. Our retailers may offer you the following saving options:

* Cashback plus voucher code: these offers enable you to save twice, via the provision of a voucher code plus you are able to earn cashback on your purchase. In some of these instances, if a voucher code is used to save, the retailer may reduce the cashback rate as they cannot afford to pay the full rate however in all instances the cashback rate associated with the offer is clearly labelled.

* Cashback only: in these instances you can only earn cashback with your purchase. If you use a voucher code it may result in your cashback being declined.

* Voucher code only: some retailers will provide Quidco members with voucher codes which will give them an instant saving however, cashback is not provided.

* Cashback OR voucher code: some retailers are unable to offer savings via both cashback and a voucher code and so in these instances they will offer Quidco members the choice of using either a voucher code to earn an instant saving or cashback to earn a delayed saving, however you will not be able to use both in conjunction.

You can clearly identify whether an offer allows you to use a voucher code and cashback, only cashback, only a voucher code, or whether it is simply a deal by using our helpful symbols displayed next to every listing..

Best way to learn is to just dive in and try it out.

Yeah great way to save money.

You can sometimes get a better rate from http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ so check them both.

Quidco take a £5 admin fee from your account once per year for being a member. But once you start saving on most of the stuff you buy it's worth it.

TopCashBack don't have a fee.

If Quidco is anything like TopCashBack (which from Munky's explanation it is) then it couldn't be easier ynnoj. I joined TCB two Christmases back after a colleague said I should try it seeing as pretty much everything I buy is done online. At first I thought it was a bit of a gimmick but here I am now with ?246.33 back from it! Those pennies really do add up :)

Cheers for the info on JOAG Munky - think I'll wait a couple of weeks to see if any other e-tailers put it on offer and if not, I'll order with JOAG and hope that I get it on release day at the latest.

Contacted Jack of All Games about pre-orders and they sais that the game will arrive on or just before release. They also confirmed that payment must be taken on order.

They can jog on, no other company that I've dealt with takes any money for preorders until the order is picked and shipped

This is exactly what they said:

Hi

The charge will be made when ordering which will ensure us the quantity

as we will be able to get the best deal hence pre-order and passing the

saving to yourself .

You have obviously never order with Argos etc...

It's not unheard of. Even Argos do it and they've been around decades.

Damn you, you quick scottish git! :p

    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
    • I wonder what that line really meant...
