I've been using it for 4 or 5 years. Have earned over 2 grand in cashback since starting.
Cant say any negatives for it. Just makesure you have you don't end up paying over the odds for something 'cos you going to get 4% cashback from a site.
ie make sure the website your going to buy from is the best deal and then go through Quidco to get your cashback.

One final thing, if you have previously done alot of browsing looking for the best deal, clear your cookies or better still use another web browser to make your purchase, or you may find that the transaction doesn't track.

It's a cashback site, definitely worth signing up for. Received hundreds from it this year just doing my normal online shopping and booking hotels etc.

Fantastic site - I've had £100's back from routine spending. Easy to use, I've had 95% success with my cashback too.

whenever i have used it for products that vary in price such as insurance the deal has never been as good as going direct to the site.

but aside from that, used it once or twice.

It costs £5 a year to be a member but that comes out of your cashback, so if you don't earn any then you don't pay, but if you earn more than £5 in a year then it's yours to keep.

Seems to me that's it's blokes who buy stuff they don't actually need and justify it by saying "But I get 5% back!".
Like those BOGOF offers.

"Ohh look. Two packs of Tampax for the price of one!"

Saying that. I bought my AA membership six months ago and never got the cash back they promised. sterers.

Snap, how long did it take to get your cash back? Still waiting for mine...

I've had £500 cashback over the last 4 years or so.

For the last 3 years I've bought car breakdown cover, and swapped between AA and RAC each time, so I can get cashback. Basically paid about £100 a year (once you get the cashback) for joint personal cover, all options except european.

It does take a while to get the cashback but I've always got it eventually even when I've had to raise a claim, which has not been that often.

Yep always use Topcashback always had my money, can take a while and you will win, just as long as you do your research. Don't assume the deal is good unless you have checked it out. However in the main they are very worthwhile.

I've just started using the 'in-store' bit on there. Already had about £16 back. Not bad at all, I was initially rather dubious about giving them my card numbers but had no issues.
