Quidco

Not sure if this is right board for my question?

Has anyone used Quidco before? ( i am sure there must be some on this board!)
I have used greasypalm loads before but notice Quidco give higher cashbacks? I dont use ebay a lot so only used paypal a few times before.

Any advice, feedback welcome......

    Quidco charge you £5 a year - only if your 'earnings' go over that figure.
    Very generous payouts. Payment via PayPal.
    I have been using them for several months with no problems.

    I am a member and have generated over £1000 in cashback. Also if you earn more than £250/month they will pay by BACS to avoid the Paypal fees.
    They will only take a maximum of £5/ year of your earnings and if you don't earn anything its free.
    There are plenty of ways to get cashback with no outlay, such as the DVD rental trials. If you are a bit more adventurous try the gambling sites for loads of cashback

    Started using them this year and have already had over £100 back with another £300 in the pipeline.
    At first glance it looks very complicated with all the various stages of cashback being tracked but if you treat these sites like i do as money for nothing it's nothing to get stressed about and just sit back and wait for the monthly paypal payment.
    WHOOOOSHHHHHHHHH……..
    Blimey what was that ?
    That was your life mate
    Oh I wasn’t quite ready can I have another go ?
    Sorry mate only one per person.

    and so far earned £425.00 in cashback.

    I was a little skeptical at first, but now by PayPal account is £63 better off and paid my Admin Bill I have to say I am delighted.

    I only ever tried quidco as a cashback site (so can't compare). It seems to take forever to start getting the money - but this would seem to be down to the merchant and not quidco.

    Anyway - the way I look at it. Nothing ventured Nothing gained; it doesn't cost me to join quidco and I only use quidco merchants if they are the cheapest. I dont use a quidco merchant just to get cashback - and if the merchant is affliated then nothing to lose by 'one click'.

    Oh and having Viking Direct is very useful (although it slow to show on quidco) when your office stationery is about £1200 a month :)

    Okay thanks to all the replies.
    I have signed up to Quidco.

    However i cannot get my links working for Lloyds TSB Car & Home insurance; Screentrade, budget car ins & privilege. This is happening for the same links within Greasy Palm.

    I can get other retailer links to work from these cashback sites. I use Win XP, AVG virus and Zone alarm. I have reset all my net settings and tried clearing cookies. This has been the case for a few days now.
    Any advice??

    What happens?
    I presume you're clicking the "Click here to visit the merchant and earn cashback" button? Is nothing popping up after that?
