Help - When do Affiliates Pay?

[samburrows]

Hi All,

Bit a of a newbie Quidco question which I couldn't see an answer to elsewhere. Is there a consistent date range when companies tend to pay Quidco? I started using Quidco in April and in 2 months I've managed to build up a pot of about £170 but seen very little of it so far (pretty much all are now validated). Does anyone have any experience of a familiar pattern for validating turning into "payment received" ? I've got it into my head that a lot of companies may do a single payment run to their affiliates towards the end of the month but I may be giving them too much credit!

Any answers gratefully received :)

Thanks everyone!

It varies from affiliate to affiliate. Worst I have had is MoreThan from last October which stayed validated for over 6 months before paying out end of May! I have had some within a couple of months but most are around 3-4 months in my experience.

its the companies Affiliates that pay Quidco not the "end company" direct

so Tesco may have their affiliate as Tradedoubler and then Tradedoubler pays Quidco then Quidco pay you - in essence you are the second person to get paid hence would be a delay in transactions

Thank you, that makes sense. I suppose if you can keep posting a healthy total each month then after four months of regular use you will receive some money every month...

PaddyPower paid this morning, only 24 days since I placed the qualifying bet (£10 at 1/100, won myself a cool 10p and received £20 cashback!)

Yes I just think of it as a delayed payment and don't depend on it, it is all bonus money. It is annoying when big payments take ages but insurance companies do tend to take longer otherwise we would be regularly taking policies out and cancelling them, so the delay is a deterrent to fraudsters.
