So, signed up to Telstra 28/8/14, that was all good to go 1/9/2014. Signed up via Qwibble for the $120 cashback. They marked it tracked from 29/8/14, and didn't mark it as payment received till 9/12/2014.
This is how it went with a support ticket I raised in October:

How soon for payment? - My telstra cash back just shows as tracked, but hasn't been validated or anything. Any idea how much longer the payment will take?2014-10-27 Admin said…
Hey David,Telstra has paid us commission and it usually takes three months. You will get the cashback in the next payment run.
Kind regards,

The ticket has been closed.
And guess what, money still hasn't been received. I get that the Telstra cashbacks take at least 3 months, I knew that when I signed up. I just didn't think they'd hold onto it for another month (likely just to collect the interest on it).
I'll keep this updated when they reply to my new Support Ticket (since they closed the last one).
My experience is that Qwibble is useless, their support personel could care less about you, your experience using their service or whever you recieve your legitimate cashback or not.
Would never bother wasting my time on this crappy service again.
