If any of you ever do online shopping and aren't using Quidco then make sure you sign up!
Normally get about 5% cashback on everything you buy and £50-200 for a phone contract or insurance - well worth checking out!

Quidco is good for National Trust membership and most annual things that you sign up for. I've also added my card nos. to it, so that if cashback is given in-store I get that as well, without even trying!
They've got an iPhone App and an Android App as well, you can get special offers if in a store or sometimes 10-25p for "checking in" whilst in a store.
I generally don't make a point of using it, just to use it, and have had around 150 quid cashback per annum.

No indication as to how long it will take for a cashback to be confirmed.
No indication as to whether or not you will even get the cashback.
Not impressed so far.
Try reading first before slagging it off - it clearly tells you on each page how long it takes to track and how long payment then takes (usually around 3 months).No indication as to whether or not you will even get the cashback.

I guess if you don't want free money then don't use it.
No comeback if cashback is refused either.
So you sit around for 3 months hoping the dealer you bought the item from doesn't go bust before you possibly maybe perhaps get the cashback.
Can't see that there is any legal obligation for them to pay either.
Having said all that I did actually sign up to buy an item as the deal was very good.
But 1 day offer I went for isn't traceable anywhere as far as I can see, unless anyone took a screendump of their browser with it displayed.
I'm not expecting to get the cashback, but I would have bought it anyway as it was already significantly reduced.

Never count it as yours until you've got it. I see it as a bonus when/if it comes.So you sit around for 3 months hoping the dealer you bought the item from doesn't go bust before you possibly maybe perhaps get the cashback.

I've saved around £150 since I started using it.

Why don't you complain in 3 months if it doesn't come through.
I've had every single cash back confirmed and received about £800 in the last year. It's a fantastic company and a great idea.
I don't think I am going to bother in the future.
Had £110 cash back last week from my iPhone 4S purchase in October. Website clearly stated that it would take 3 mobile a couple of months to pay up so no complaints from me.
That said it was hidden away in the small print that you had to use 3 mobiles search function to find the phone. If you'd just clicked the big 'new shiny phone banner' on their home page you wouldn't qualify for the cashback.

I use it.
It's worth looking at the free offers that pay you money as well. Some are just sign up services which you get cashback for when you confirm the account. Money gets paid in to Quidco account and I then just terminate the service so no annoying emails. I even got £8 from www.matchaffinity.com (dating website) for signing up, confirming the account then immediately cancelling it!

£5 per sign up at the moment iirc.
The £5 comes out of your cashback amount so no need to pay anything to them.Gassing Station | Finance | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
