Does anyone use Quidco (www.quidco.com (http://www.quidco.com)) to get cash back on stuff you order on-line?

It's basically free money. :greengrin

I order all my stuff on-line by going through here and have made about £50 this year from it. :greengrin

I used Quidco for years found it great. I now use Top Cash Back, exact same thing but they don't charge you £5 admin.
For anybody that buys goods online on a regular bases the should use one of these.

Are the percentages pretty similar / the same? Is it a case of lower percentages to compensate for the fee?

Is there a wider range of companies on TCB?

I'll have a look but can't get on it just now.

What is it? It doesn't have a particularly helpful website

Quidco or TCB?

Here's a flow for quidco.

* You log onto quidco.com.
* Search Quidco for play.com (or other company)
* The company will appear with the amount of cash back the pay (6% for play.com).
* You click on a link that takes you to play.com
* Make your order as normal and pay as usual.
* Play.com (or other company) will pay the 6% (or whatever percentage) back to your quidco account.
* You can then withdraw the money to your bank.

I use this for all on-line shopping and have made about £50 in the last year from it.

:boo hoo:

In the past year I've spent hundreds online. Never even knew this existed.

What's the catch?

There is no catch.

With Quidco you pay them the first £5 from what you earn and you keep the rest.

You only pay the £5 from what you earn. You do not make any payment to them from your bank etc.

From what the guy above said, TopCashBack doesn't charge you anything. I don't know the difference in percentages paid back from each site.

Have a look around it. The Quidco one has good information like I've posted above and explains it quite well.

I think they are both similar although TCB say they can't be beaten. I think TCB has a larger base of company's. I'm registered with both and check both but tend to use TCB just to accrue more pennies in the one account. I've been using these for about 3 years now and once or twice a year transfer £50+ into my bank account.

There are lots of cashback or incentive deals around when buying things online.

I ditched Hibernian Rewards and started using my BMI credit card which gets me 1.5 miles per £1 spent. On top of that I also get 2 miles for every £1 spent at Dell, PC World and Dabs.com. It's not uncommon for me to rack up 5 - 7000 miles a month.

We're going to the US this summer and it's only costing us the tax which is around £700. If booked normally the flights would have cost us around £5000.

Makes sense to use one of these sites every time you buy anything, I only use quidco but have earned £625 since joining it !

I use my BMI card to get Hibernian Rewards. :agree:

(I'm up to about 300k BMI miles now. Been to South Africa, Mexico, USA and Mauritius too.)
