Thanks
Robin, its easy, I am up to nearly £200.
£50 to sign up with Mecca and deposit a £5 stake. Then you must play the £5 but if you win you keep the winnings. At worse you are £45 up (£50 quidco less your £5 depsoit)
The Magazine Group and Dennis Publishing are offering £4ish cashbacks when you subscribe to magazines. Both have offers of 3 mags for £1. So you are £3 up at least in each case. Cancel the dd after the first £1 has been taken, you still get the mags. (Ideal Home and Mens Fitness at the moment).
£25 for opening a Cahoot savings account. You just need to have the application accepted.
£15 for the blockbuster trial.
£25 for signing up to Tesco home phone. There is also a bonus of 2000 Clubcard points on the vouchers thread.
£11 from Uswitch for changing gas/elec supplier
Various smaller amounts for quotes from Swinton, Bupa. (collectively £5 which pays your admin fee)
Register with Snapfish and upload 20 photos, get them printed for free (postage is free with a coupon code on the discounts thread) and you also get £3.50 cashback.
Varying amounts for Photobox and Chooseaprize, just for registering.
Bingo's - another playing site. You must deposit an amount and play. But the catch on the website is a little complicated. To get around it, you must deposit £40, play (even just one 25p game) but then you must make another deposit of £10 to be able to withdraw all your money in one go. You get £30 cashback for this little bit of trouble.
That's about all I can stretch to without going back to the site, and seriously off topic. Good luck.0 -

re: Dennis publishing- the quidco link takes me straight to Men's Health, of which I do not have much interest, do you know if there's a way I can use quidco to get Fortean Times?0

Many thanks for the code.
How long does it take for this to track on quidco, as I have signed up through them yet my account shows no tracking?
BTW I am new to quidco and do not yet have a paypal account.0 -

re blockbuster - Ive checked with quidco and received this reply
This merchant can take at least 14 day(s) to report transactions. Please wait this long (until 07 Mar 2006) before submitting an enquiry.
My blockbuster was set up on 21st feb so should be on my quidco by 7th march.
Its easy to set up paypal account either go through quidco or search Paypal on google and set one up from there. Money is transferred into this account and you then transfer it to a online bank (havnt got one - search quidco for best deal and get paid to open an account. ) you set minimum level with quidco and once they take £5.00 registration fee (from your earnings) they pay the rest into your paypal account. From the online bank account transfer it to your normal bank.
Or use the paypal money for any ebay purchases you may make if you use ebay.
look back on this thread to see easy ways to make cash or check the Quidco thread on referrers board for more tips.
just checked quidco cahoot bank - £25 & first direct £45 (without going through the accounts cant see they have any restrictions (i.e pay salery in etc ) so if not more cash for you
Hope this helps if not pm me and Ill explain step by step for youThanks to everyone who posts comps :T0 -
I signed up with the code, but somehow it didn't go through and I just got billed and told I was on a 2 week trial. Sent a query to customer services 4 days ago and have had no reply, so I called up and was told the 2 month trial was only for customers who have purchased a DVD player, so I cancelled the account. Shame as I probably would have stayed on after the 60 days as I was finding it useful, haven't rented a video in years.
Still, there are other providers, I'll use one of them.0 -
I joined on Thursday and got my three DVD's this morning. Brilliant. Just got to remember to cancel before I get charged.
THANK YOU0
