    Singles day is some Chinese day of sales, like Black Friday is for the US.
    Gearbest, geekbuying et all do "Best Bargains" on this day :D

    Time to get that "Original" Xiaomi wristband that you've been eyeing up guys! :pac:

    Is there some hidden condition behind quidco? I buy a game for 50 when can I get the 12.50 back or what do I do with it

    You just have to sign up, and go to CDKeys through Quidco so it tracks the referral. You'll get the 25% back when the retailer approves it, at the minute it estimates you'll be paid back on 11 December if you purchased today.

    You can be paid back direct to Paypal, or in Amazon vouchers.

    I use quidco quite a bit and never had any hassle with it

    I signed up today and bought gears 4. Have €13.50 back but it just says it's tracked cash back and not payable cash back. Says it would be payable by 3 march :o

    renewed my xbox live sub, got £8.50 cash back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,219 ✭✭✭maximoose


    Tracked is good, you should get it back long before March.

    It's UK retailers and you'll get cashback paid in £ but anyone can sign up.

    I mainly use it for Hotels.com and booking.com, and things like Aliexpress, Amazon, Expedia, CDKeys. Got a heap back from Ticketmaster UK for UFC and West end tickets too.

    I bought Gears of War 4 recently and didn't get the older games. But I also already have them all from purchasing Gears of War Ultimate Edition. It would have been nice to get a email link or something so I could give the games away to someone who doesn't already have them.

    How did you buy it? The codes are in the box for disc copies and sent via xbox live for digital copies. Have a spare set of codes myself.

    I bought it digitally off the UK xbox live service.

    Check your xbox messages then. You should have 2 messages containing the 4 keys.

    I didn't get mine for about a week or so after buying.

    just bought 12m xbox live from cdkeys for €39.99 with quidco and it says its tracking it at £10 back from £39.99. That'll be nice if its the case! will work out at around 29% back instead of 25% :)

    I think it's only like 20 euros in cex how much cheaper do you won't it to get?. As at that price to me it's really the lowest I wait to game to drop to any lower you could say your a but tight waiting for it to drop

    Can't speak for Rorok but I like to buy my games digitally and there is a new 20th Anniversary version available on the Xbox Store.
    So maybe he isn't being, as you put it 'a bit tight'.

    Forza Horizon 3 is 29.99 sterling on Game.co.uk - has anyone ordered from game using parcel motel? Parcel motell works fine for delivery address.

    What do I put for the compulsory postcode in billing address when I have to enter my Irish address?

    I ordered an Elite Controller from them. Send it to your Parcel Motel address in the North.

    Would an eircode work?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,295 ✭✭✭Gizmo55


    Apparently courier services and postmen don't really use them but for the purposes of filling out your address I'm sure it's grand.

    Some info on how many people actually use it

    Managed to get a confirmation email but no money wa taken from my Revolut card- any ideas?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,461 ✭✭✭Danick


    Managed to get a confirmation e-mail (I put parcel motel Aintrim postcode at the end of my billing address) but no money was taken from my Revolut card- any ideas?

    Do you think Game only take the money when they dispatch the game?

    Any info greatly appreciated.

    Game charge on dispatch.

    Btw the valid postcode for Ireland in Games system is EIRE if you want anything shipped here.
