Think I have been Browser Hijacked....grrr.
Will take steps to try & sort it but this could affect my Quidco usage!

Lookingahead, you need to clear your cookies, it sounds as if you have other cashback sites tracking your purchases. Try using http://www.ccleaner.com/ (click on the download button in white along the top) use this before you log into quidco (every time) and you won't go too far wrong.

I posted this a few days ago in response to another question about quidco.................

Robin, I am up to about £200, a good start is £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 deposit)

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.

Some of the amounts have changed for this month (Mecca is only £30 I think, but at least this may give you some ideas on how to maximise your earnings power) . A good thread to watch is http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=136215 which is monitored by QUIDCO (user name on this site) who is actually from QUIDCO and will answer your questions, along with others on the thread.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for all that windym.

I have made two purchases via Quidco...one was to switch energy supplier (hopefully save me £166 per year!) and...and this is naughty...I have bought some Dermalogica products which were expensive but they will last for ages & they are fab....and hopefully I'll get some cash back!!

(Bang goes my "no spend" day...I'd better update that post now - eeek!)

One tip I have is use it to open a cahoot savings account - I got £25! And remember they charge a £5 a year membership fee - only if you earn any money -so the first £5 a year goes back to quidco -but given their level of pay outs I'm happy - I got £25 for opening a savings account with Cahoot!

I went to open the savings account and it said I would be credit checked and the application process was like applying for a credit card or something! Anyone know if you do get 'searched' as opposed to 'identity checked' on credit report??
