QUIDCO - how to earn free money?

Hey all

Iv recently registered with Quidco and have done a bit of reading on MSE. Theres people saying that its possible to earn over £250 without spending a penny via Quidco.

So far I have signed up for the blockbuster free trial (£15) and I got myself a new contract phone (£35).

Any advise appeciated.

    I've been a member for 5 months now.
    I've spent over £1200 through Quidco and have received £13 cashback in total. I've paid Quidco £5, have another £5 processing and another £13 owed from transactions which failed to track (which I am unlikely to see).
    So, not a great money-spinner in my experience (£13 for £1200 spend over 5 months), but nothing to lose if you were going to spend the money anyway!

    I think the most money you can get is via gambling yoiu wont get anywhere nera that on daily clicks (no spend) most of that you would have to spend money on something, even gambling can cost you money but you can get a good kick back.

    I have had a couple of hundred pounds in about 9 months.... i dont do the daily clicks but I just ensure that I use quidco links for purchases I would otherwise have been making anyway. Oh and £70 for spending £5 in blue square casinos was useful too :D
    2 + 2 = 4
    except for the general public when it can mean whatever they want it to.

    Since the 28th January, I've made about £100 (most still in the tracked, validated stage) with another £55 waiting to show up as tracked from the past couple of days. Mostly they're from signing up to gambling sites and magazines, although a few are from everyday purchases from catalogues, ebay, etc. I don't tend to bother with the daily clicks.

    Am I missing something here, because I couldn't see that Blue Square Casino - is it one thats's no longer offered? And how come you got £70 back for only £5.00??

    Sorry if I'm being a bit dim, but I'm new to the Quidco thing. Done OK with buying stuff, but the gambling bit is still a bit scary!!

    I think Blue square offer finished, but they did give £70 at one time, so did others sites, I use freefivers a few months back. Offers do close from time to time.
