I wonder how many of you use the Quidco scheme? I personally earn about £50 per month from it for doing nothing. Maybe you can too?

Basically, if you buy from eBay or any one of thousands of popular shops, you can earn commission for just going to that site through their portal first. I have been using it for years and now they have started to offer a refferral scheme I guess its in my interest to share this info with you all... lol

Click me to go to the QuidCo site.


Edited to add that it is FREE to join. It doesnt cost you a PENNY!

How much do you spend to earn £50? Or is this actual free money you're offering.

I use quidco all the time, great site

I think you'll find that this QUIDCO link is much better than yours

If you shop online you really should use Quidco, I even get cashback on iPhone apps (4% I think)

There are a couple of vendors I would like to see on there like Amazon and Ebuyer but there are plenty of others.

From time to time you get a couple of no-brainers, right now I think there is £20 cashback for creditexpert.co.uk free 30 day trail, sign up, get the £20 then cancel before the free trial ends

Your right, not free because you buy a product in the first place, you just get added discount because buying through certain websites earn them commision, which they gladly share with you as their getting it for sweet F all

Santander are giving you £100 to switch your current account to them.

They are also giving 0% interest (6 months) and no fees on balance transfers to their credit card.

With the bank account you get 5% per annum on balances of £2,500.

So - transfer a balance of 2,500 onto the credit card and put the 2,500 into the current account and you'll earn £100 for opening the account and £62.50 interest.

For free

I use Quidco, but I find it's best to also use it in conjunction with HotUKDeals where hot offers for the UK have been posted (strange that which often also benefit from Quidco.

HotUKDeals, Quidco and a variety of other websites, including good old Google, can really highlight how much people get ripped off every day. The internet has saved me many thousands of pounds over the years, plus several hundred refunded from Quidco

Don't they force you to sign up using a c/card for the monthly debit making it very hard to cancel after the 30 days

TX.

Very good site, as long as you only buy things you would have anyway! It can be tempting to see huge cashbacks and get tempted to buy things you might otherwise not.

I only started mine a few months ago, I have over £100 sitting in there now.

During the World cup I opened up two betting accounts, iirc it was place a £20 bet and get £35 cashback. I won the bet so got £35 for nothing.

I've just had a quick go of this and it does seem canny.

One of the things is £1.50 for a quote online through confused.com, which i've did... but didnt get any cashback?? Whys that?

And once you've earned abit, how do you spend it?

Yep these cashback websites are great, hotels and home insurance tends to give a good rate back. Also nice to get a bit back on ebay, flights, etc.

I have switched to TopCashback myself, they claim to offer slightly better percentages than Quidco although there's often no difference. I got annoyed with Quidco as one of my transactions did not track and when I tried to send an enquiry it told me I had to give it more time. A couple of months later when I'd remembered about it again, it now told me I was too late. There's no annual charge for TopCashback either.

If anyone wants to try the alternative here's my referral link: http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/member9156736218

HotDealsUK is great too although the good deals always seem to get a rush on them as a result of promotion on the site so you have to be quick!

It will track on your account in a day or two.

£330 last week, took advantage of the Virgin media deal. Makes that a very cheap 12 month subscription.
Did the same when o2 were offering £100 for a £10 per month sim only contract, £1.66 a month
