Using Quidco - Is it worth it?

Does anyone think quidco is worth signing up for? Do they cover a lot of online stores or just a few?

I was just wondering if I should bother.

Cheers

    You can see on their site which retailers they cover. From what I gather, they have about the same list as TopCashBack (who pay the same but don't charge a fee) - with one big exception: TCB has insurance companies, Quidco doesn't.

    Both Quidco and TCB have quite a few less than RPoints (who pay quite a bit less).

    It's worth chosing one or two sites you use always - otherwise you'll end up having points/money at lots of sites but not enough to withdraw from any of them!

    I wondered if it was worth joining but after reading so many threads about signing up to Quidco, I did. Sometimes I don't remember to go through them but I had an email on 2nd Jan telling me they had just sent £24 to my paypal account and the £5 had already been deducted. So I would say go for it. It doesn't cost anything and that £24 paid for my sisters birthday present! lol

    And whilst you are at it, sign up with rpoints too, they pay out on £15, and have some good offers, and a forum of bargain hunters too. Best I have had was £50 cashback with Lloyds insurance, my contents insurance was £54 , so with redeemed points total cost was £4...


    Worth a look if nothing else , and you get points for signing up

    You can get much better cashbacks for insurances on TPC

    erm, I assume you mean TCB (TopCashBack?) judging by your earlier post ;)

    The £50 Lloyds insurance offer was due to end 31st December but looks like continuing for now: http://www.rpoints.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=62544
