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

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

I think it's genuine and not a mistake, there's a banner for it on quidco! Thanks Singles day whatever the hell you are

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 thought it was UK only, not the case?

maximoose

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.

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

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%

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?

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 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.
