Page 4 | NOW CLOSED Incahoot PLUS testers feedback thread - final feedback questions added

Q1. Which offers and/or discounts did you use through Incahoot PLUS? If you used the reloadable cards, how useful or not did you find them to help with budgeting?

I haven't used any. I have looked on the site for discounts as we have just moved house and have some new appliances to buy but I have found better discounts elsewhere.

Q2. Overall, do you think you saved any money using Incahoot PLUS, or not? If so, how much approximately do you think you saved?

I've not saved any money

Q3. Which, if any, offers and/or discounts did you find most useful?

None

Q4. Incahoot PLUS costs £29.99 per year, do you think this represents good value for money or not?

Definitely not. I have used both Quidco which is only £5 per year and comes off cashback made and now use Topcashback which is free. Both of these are much better than Incahoot Plus. I cannot fathom why anyone would pay £29.99 a year for this.

Q5. Do you think you will continue to use the discounts and/or offers on Incahoot PLUS after this trial? If so, why? If not, why not?

I would check it for discount codes as a last resort but nothing else.

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Incahoot PLUS to a friend or relative? If so why, if not why not?

No as it is not worthwhile when other sites are free.

Now just a couple of question about Incahoot in general (i.e not Incahoot PLUS but the free offerings):

Q7. Did you visit Incahoot's main website? If so, what did you think? Did you find it easy to understand and navigate or not? What specifically did you like about the website and what didn't you like? Why?

I visited it but only to get to the Incahoot Plus. I didn't think it was very well designed and is quite basic.

Q8. Incahoot offers exclusive deals on areas such as energy, insurance, mobile phones, broadband etc did you look at any of these offers? If so, what did you think? Would you be likely to use any of these offers in the future? Why/why not? Would you like anymore information to be provided on these offers?

Did not look.

Q1. Which offers and/or discounts did you use through Incahoot PLUS? If you used the reloadable cards, how useful or not did you find them to help with budgeting?

I haven't used any offers as I currently don't need any of them.

Q2. Overall, do you think you saved any money using Incahoot PLUS, or not? If so, how much approximately do you think you saved?

I think I would save money, but I'm not sure it would have been a lot.

Q3. Which, if any, offers and/or discounts did you find most useful?

N/A

Q4. Incahoot PLUS costs £29.99 per year, do you think this represents good value for money or not?

I'm not sure I would use it enough to save £30 a year in order to warrant the initial cost.

Q5. Do you think you will continue to use the discounts and/or offers on Incahoot PLUS after this trial? If so, why? If not, why not?

I might do, there appear to be some good offers.

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Incahoot PLUS to a friend or relative? If so why, if not why not?

I would, I like to share offers with friends and family, so they can save money as well.

Q7. Did you visit Incahoot's main website? If so, what did you think? Did you find it easy to understand and navigate or not? What specifically did you like about the website and what didn't you like? Why?

Yes I did visit it, I found it easy to navigate, but I didn't look at it too closely.

Q8. Incahoot offers exclusive deals on areas such as energy, insurance, mobile phones, broadband etc did you look at any of these offers? If so, what did you think? Would you be likely to use any of these offers in the future? Why/why not? Would you like anymore information to be provided on these offers?

I did have a quick look at these offers and they are something I think I could use in the future.

Q1. Which offers and/or discounts did you use through Incahoot PLUS? If you used the reloadable cards, how useful or not did you find them to help with budgeting?

I haven't used any of the discounts as i have found better deals on other sites that i use

Q2. Overall, do you think you saved any money using Incahoot PLUS, or not? If so, how much approximately do you think you saved?

I haven't saved any money

Q3. Which, if any, offers and/or discounts did you find most useful?

i didn't use any of the offers as i have found better ones elsewhere

Q4. Incahoot PLUS costs £29.99 per year, do you think this represents good value for money or not?

No, not at all. I have better deals on topcashback which is free. I cannot see the value in paying this!

Q5. Do you think you will continue to use the discounts and/or offers on Incahoot PLUS after this trial? If so, why? If not, why not?

I will keep an eye on the site for improvements in the deals on offer but i will not use it regularly

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Incahoot PLUS to a friend or relative? If so why, if not why not?

No, i could not in good conscience recommend a site where you have to pay when there are free sites with better deals available!

Now just a couple of question about Incahoot in general (i.e not Incahoot PLUS but the free offerings):

Q7. Did you visit Incahoot's main website? If so, what did you think? Did you find it easy to understand and navigate or not? What specifically did you like about the website and what didn't you like? Why?

I visited it a few times. It was easy to understand but not very well designed

Q8. Incahoot offers exclusive deals on areas such as energy, insurance, mobile phones, broadband etc did you look at any of these offers? If so, what did you think? Would you be likely to use any of these offers in the future? Why/why not? Would you like anymore information to be provided on these offers?

I looked, a few of the iphone deals looked good but i didnt find anything else of use

ShatnersBassoon · 31/07/2012 12:29

Q1. Which offers and/or discounts did you use through Incahoot PLUS? If you used the reloadable cards, how useful or not did you find them to help with budgeting?

None, nothing seemed worthwhile.

Q2. Overall, do you think you saved any money using Incahoot PLUS, or not? If so, how much approximately do you think you saved?

No.

Q3. Which, if any, offers and/or discounts did you find most useful?

None.

Q4. Incahoot PLUS costs £29.99 per year, do you think this represents good value for money or not?

No, I would say it's poor value for us. All of the offers we could use can be had through DH's employee voucher scheme at no charge (I understand such schemes are fairly common in public and private sector employment), or on Quidco.

Q5. Do you think you will continue to use the discounts and/or offers on Incahoot PLUS after this trial? If so, why? If not, why not?

No, I won't bother. There is nothing to interest me.

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Incahoot PLUS to a friend or relative? If so why, if not why not?

Absolutely not. It's money for nothing for us, and I'm not sure if it would be good value for anyone I know.

Now just a couple of question about Incahoot in general (i.e not Incahoot PLUS but the free offerings):

Q7. Did you visit Incahoot's main website? If so, what did you think? Did you find it easy to understand and navigate or not? What specifically did you like about the website and what didn't you like? Why?

I did, and I have looked at it in the past. It seems no better or worse than any other comparison/money-saving site. It serves a purpose, but looking at those sites is always a chore, never a pleasure.

Q8. Incahoot offers exclusive deals on areas such as energy, insurance, mobile phones, broadband etc did you look at any of these offers? If so, what did you think? Would you be likely to use any of these offers in the future? Why/why not? Would you like anymore information to be provided on these offers?

Unlikely to use any of these things. My first port of call is always Quidco, which I find really easy to navigate and use, and Incahoot hasn't tempted me away.

fallingandlaughing · 02/08/2012 19:09

Q1.
I used a discount at my beautician, saving £3.40. The reloadable cards didn't appeal.

Q2. Yes. I have saved £3.40.

Q3. I only found the beauty discount useful.

Q4. I don't think this represents good value. I would struggle to make that back over the course of a year, I would roughly break even.

Q5. Yes, I will use the beauty discount again.

Q6. I wouldn't recommend it. I found the website poorly organised and would never have persisted to find the one disount I did find useful if I hadn't been trying out the site.

Now just a couple of question about Incahoot in general (i.e not Incahoot PLUS but the free offerings):

Q7.
Yes, i vivsted the main website. It was easy to navigate. The uncluttered style was good. I was disappointed with the offers. Not a fan of twitter feed but I suppose someone must come to Incahoot to hear what they think of Bradley Wiggins...

Q8.
yes I did. I wasn't tempted by any of the offers. I prefer to neogtiate directly with familiar suppliers.

Sorry to sound so negative, just wasn't for me in general.

ln1981 · 06/08/2012 21:16

Q1. Which offers and/or discounts did you use through Incahoot PLUS? If you used the reloadable cards, how useful or not did you find them to help with budgeting?
Havent used any discounts-most of them have not appealed or have been ones that I would not use. Of those that I could use, I didnt have cause to use them as yet.

Q2. Overall, do you think you saved any money using Incahoot PLUS, or not? If so, how much approximately do you think you saved?
At the minute, I havent saved any money from using the site, but that doesnt mean that I might not in future.

Q3. Which, if any, offers and/or discounts did you find most useful?
not applicable.

Q4. Incahoot PLUS costs £29.99 per year, do you think this represents good value for money or not?
not at the minute. im lucky that I live in the central belt in Scotland, so easy to get to places that offers discounts, but there seemed to be very few local traders who offered and more big national chains (which is great but these can be found on other free cashback sites)

Q5. Do you think you will continue to use the discounts and/or offers on Incahoot PLUS after this trial? If so, why? If not, why not?
Possibly. im considering getting a couple of reloadable cards for the run up to christmas, and shall check the offers for the same reason.

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Incahoot PLUS to a friend or relative? If so why, if not why not?
Probably not, again because there wasnt really alot of local discounts and big chains can be found on other sites.

Now just a couple of question about Incahoot in general (i.e not Incahoot PLUS but the free offerings):

Q7. Did you visit Incahoot's main website? If so, what did you think? Did you find it easy to understand and navigate or not? What specifically did you like about the website and what didn't you like? Why? I found it easy to understand and navigate, but it was quite cluttered-feeling and didn't have the number of offers that I expected

Q8. Incahoot offers exclusive deals on areas such as energy, insurance, mobile phones, broadband etc did you look at any of these offers? If so, what did you think? Would you be likely to use any of these offers in the future? Why/why not? Would you like anymore information to be provided on these offers?
I did have a quick look, but none of the free things on the site were any good to me as nothing is due for renewal at the minute!

missmuddle · 07/08/2012 15:32

second set of feedbaCK

Q1. Which offers and/or discounts did you use through Incahoot PLUS? If you used the reloadable cards, how useful or not did you find them to help with budgeting?

None as yet - but would not rule out using it in future i will certainly check offers before a large ppurchase

Q2. Overall, do you think you saved any money using Incahoot PLUS, or not? If so, how much approximately do you think you saved?
None

Q3. Which, if any, offers and/or discounts did you find most useful?
None

Q4. Incahoot PLUS costs £29.99 per year, do you think this represents good value for money or not?
Not able to sway it depends - I almost used it to book my holiday which would have made it worth while - however i negotiated a better deal direct with the holoiday provider

Q5. Do you think you will continue to use the discounts and/or offers on Incahoot PLUS after this trial? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes for the dureation of my trial membership and then i will evaluate if it is worth paying for.

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Incahoot PLUS to a friend or relative? If so why, if not why not?

probably not as it is not user friendly

Now just a couple of question about Incahoot in general (i.e not Incahoot PLUS but the free offerings):

Q7. Did you visit Incahoot's main website? If so, what did you think? Did you find it easy to understand and navigate or not? What specifically did you like about the website and what didn't you like? Why?
No as stated in previous feedback i find the site cluttered, confusing, difficult to navigate and hard top see what you are offereing. There is noting i particularly like about the website.

Q8. Incahoot offers exclusive deals on areas such as energy, insurance, mobile phones, broadband etc did you look at any of these offers? If so, what did you think? Would you be likely to use any of these offers in the future? Why/why not? Would you like anymore information to be provided on these offers?

I did not look at the offers
I would look when i am due to change suppliers
I actually cannot think why i would look at your comparisions as opposed to any of the other sites available
Maybe the problem is that you are offering too much information/products i think i would prefer to use a dedicated phone comparision site or energy site

Once in it was fine to navigate.

No, none of them felt very relevant to me.

Q6. From your first impressions of the service so far, how likely, or not, are you to recommend the service to a friend/relative? Why?

Not very, the scheme needs to grow in size to be a success I feel.

wheat32 · 18/10/2012 21:16

Q1. How easy, or difficult, did you find it to understand Incahoot PLUS from the information provided on the Incahoot website? Was there anything in particular that was difficult to understand?

Easy to get around the website

Q2. What, if any, other information would you have found useful to have on the site?
Q3. How easy, or difficult, did you find it to navigate and use the Incahoot PLUS website? Did you find any specific areas particularly difficult? If so, why?
Q4. What did you like about the Incahoot PLUS website? What did you dislike? What would you like to see improved?

Noticed that some discounts were out of date by many months also the fact it's cash back rather than a direct discount with many offers really annoys me.

Q5. Have you used any discounts/offers through Incahoot PLUS so far? If yes, which ones? If no, are there any you are likely to use soon?

No will not be using incahoot again I'm afraid. Too much hassle.

Q6. From your first impressions of the service so far, how likely, or not, are you to recommend the service to a friend/relative? Why?

Very unlikely to recommend to friends.same discounts are available if you hunt around or you may get similar ones through ypur work eg NHS discounts for only a couple of pounds a year.

FrazzleDazzled · 22/10/2012 12:26

Q1. How easy, or difficult, did you find it to understand Incahoot PLUS from the information provided on the Incahoot website? Was there anything in particular that was difficult to understand? it was easy to understand
Q2. What, if any, other information would you have found useful to have on the site? I think there was enough information
Q3. How easy, or difficult, did you find it to navigate and use the Incahoot PLUS website? Did you find any specific areas particularly difficult? If so, why? it was easy to navigate the site but the local part wasn't very clear or extensive enough
Q4. What did you like about the Incahoot PLUS website? What did you dislike? What would you like to see improved? it was ok, could be made a bit more interesting with better offers, there was nothing I disliked as such
Q5. Have you used any discounts/offers through Incahoot PLUS so far? If yes, which ones? If no, are there any you are likely to use soon? I haven't used any discounts, I did consider a couple but there are far better offers around to be honest
Q6. From your first impressions of the service so far, how likely, or not, are you to recommend the service to a friend/relative? Why? It is not something I would use or recommend, sorry. It is a good idea but not very original. If the local offers were better I may reconsider

Q1. How easy, or difficult, did you find it to understand Incahoot PLUS from the information provided on the Incahoot website? Was there anything in particular that was difficult to understand?

It was easy to understand, although it still needs to be clearer where the incahoot plus section is.

Q2. What, if any, other information would you have found useful to have on the site?
Why it is worth paying £30 a year!

Q3. How easy, or difficult, did you find it to navigate and use the Incahoot PLUS website? Did you find any specific areas particularly difficult? If so, why?

Easy to use, just need to make it clearer where the incahoot plus section is.

Q4. What did you like about the Incahoot PLUS website? What did you dislike? What would you like to see improved?

It could be made more appealing, it is rather dull and too cluttered.

Q5. Have you used any discounts/offers through Incahoot PLUS so far? If yes, which ones? If no, are there any you are likely to use soon?

I haven't used any discounts yet. I have been trying to log on to look at home insurance and energy bills but am having problems logging on. Awaiting reply from Incahoot.

Q6. From your first impressions of the service so far, how likely, or not, are you to recommend the service to a friend/relative? Why?

I am unlikely to recommend this. I have not seen the benefits so far, or any offers that appeal to me. I still cannot see why you would pay £30 for membership.

jes73 · 24/10/2012 10:38

I found the phone discounts most useful even though I didn?t take it up as I was already tied into my own provider
