Quidco...

QUIDCO..........okay, I think I understand how it works.

I check out the retailer I am looking to use on Quidco website, if they are there and I use the link and purchase, I get cash back?

Who gives you the cash back and how.......it strikes me it is worth registering with them.

Can some kind soul explain it to me if I have got the wrong end of the stick.

    Its the company that you buy from that gives you the cash back,They pay Quidco or all the other cashback sites most probaly more they take there bit then you get a bit,There is many cashback sites so its worth registering with the best ones so you can see which gives you the highest amount back.
    I use freefivers as you get a fiver for joining and always payout on time,
    I also use Quidco and r-points.

    Their 'bit' is only £5 per annum - far less than other like sites. However, you need to use other sites like linemypocket and greasypalm to access othr companies - they don't all cover all firms.

    Yes, they look pretty good, too, paying 100% cashback and taking only a one-off £5pa.
    Looks like them and https://www.Quidco.co.uk are the two to go for, comparing the cashback on each before going for the best deal.

    Good luck getting cashback. I'm not very impressed with them. Admittedly I've only used them twice, but both times the transaction wasn't tracked and had to file a missing transaction where they inform the merchant. But still nothing after 4 months. In all the missing cashback is about £110. Did all the suggestions like clear cache/cookies, lower cookie security, disable firewall, popup blocker, complete in single session online, etc.

    I've had no problems and one purchase was tracked twice - a useful bonus! Did you take up the problem with the website?

    Sorry to be blunt, but could this be any more off-topic?
