Cashback website

[Skippy]

I have recently registered with www.quidco.com. They are linked to loads of companies, and if you find a site by going through Quidco you can cash back. It definitely looks worth a try, especially as some of us might be switching utilities! It also looks good for insurance - RAC car insurance are giving £70 cash back into your Quidco account if you take out new car insurance with them.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is the present - a gift to make the most of.

I would definately agree with skippy on using Quidco.
I've used it a few times now for home insurance and pet insurance and have made £260 so far from it, so definately worth it

how does it work??

[Skippy]

I've made about £70 so far and I haven't used it for insurance, just for things I'd normally buy online.

Angela, you need to register with the site and every time you shop online search for the company you are buying from on the Quidco website. If they are on there click on the link and shop as normal. Your account will then be credited and the money is paid into your bank account - this can take a few months from when you actually buy. I'm set up for monthly payments, but I think you can ask to be paid when you have a minimum amount in your Quidco account.

Hi,

This sounds a really good idea, as I'm just starting the process of an IVA, money making and saving tips would be great.

If you were having a credit into your bank account a few times a year, wouldn't it just be taken back from you when you had your annual review??

Not if the amounts are relatively small.

[trina]

Hi Ang,

So will you have a credit directly paid into your account now or do they send you a cheque?

I shall have a look and log on to the site I think. I need some plasters for my foot, which is black and blue today!!

You can either have the money paid by BACS into your bank account, and I think you can have it transferred into a Paypal account.

Be warned, they take the first £5 each year as an admin fee.

michael it depends on the size of your pooches.. I paid £22.75 for 6 pipettes and no postage. its £26 in the vets for 3.. so bargain..

i'm not sure how you get paid think its into the bank.. it only has 5% cashback.. so not that much.. but better than a poke in the eye

mm, it does worry me this sort of thing, these companies having all your personal info. I won't be doing it.

I am very annoyed with Barclays at the moment, they keep ringing all the time, asking for hubby,(he is always at work) they ring during the day, late evening, at least once per day, I asked them what it was regarding and they said "just a courtesy call" I bet as we only have a basic bank account, they are probably trying to sell him an overdraft or such (if only they knew we were bankrupt!) I asked them not to ring again, said he was not interested and they said they would take our number off their system, guess what? THEY ARE STILL RINGING AAARRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH Wish I had given them a fake phone number when I opened the account!

I've made about £40 since the beginning of the year, and that's just buying little bits on the internet. I would imagine you could do quite well if you use it for insurances or utilities as they pay quite well.

The only downside is that they are quite slow in paying, so you don't get the money for quite a while. It's nice knowing it's sitting there though!
