    Just checked Quidco and I got £7.15 for the ink cartridges I bought the other day despite not clearing cookies.
    How and when does one get paid out?

    I lurrrrrrrrve cashback. I had £30 plonk itself over to be paid at the end of this month from the hotel booking for my holiday so excellent timing.

    Bookie - it takes a while, it will need to have moved to the 'received' column (coloured green) from tracked and validated and then it is sent to your bank at the end of that month.

    I must be a little more vigilant - although I don't by a lot on-line really apart from groceries.

    there's lots you can sign up for without spending anything, there's a list somewhere on MSE. Bit of a faff but worth it. I try not to buy anything now without checking if I can get cashback first. Best ones for me are car and house insurances, although I'm waiting for the amount to come through from Best Western for OH's hotel room he asked me to book the other night for him and his DS. I see it as my commission for sorting him out - again. ;)

    He also needs to renew his car insurance before we go on holiday ;)

    I must confess that painting the decking is losing its appeal by the minute! But I WILL go and do it tonight.
  • Actually I wanted to ask some thing, I was thinking of applying for a V%nquis card for the 20 quid cashback - you know the horribly high interest rate CC for people with poor credit ratings?

    I wouldn't use it obviously, so far I have applied for 4 cc in the last year for the cashback is this alright do you think?
