Does quidco work?

Hi,
A quick question for you, sorry if ive put it in the wrong area. I wondered if quidco was worth signing up for, do you receive the cashback they state you do?

Has anyone any advice or warnings ref this site?

Thanks

  • I use Quidco regularly and have only occasionally had problems where purchases have not tracked. On all these occasions I have submitted a ticket and have eventually been paid. They do charge £5 per year (deducted from payments received) so if you are not using it much TopCashBack may be a better bet.

    Ok, thanks for that. I may try them and see what happens.

    I have only just applied to be switched over for gas & electric and I could have got £110 through them. I could cry now.

    yes it works fine
  • I've been using Quidco for several years now. Like everything it's not 100% but as long as you accept that this is a bonus then you'll be fine.

    Don't buy something through quidco if it's much cheaper elsewhere, it usually takes months to get the cashback.

    Do check the other cashback sites to see if a better offer is available.

    In the time I've been using the site I've had over £500 back.
    Keep smiling,

    Yes it is well worth signing up to even if you only use it to re-new your insurances etc... I have made over £400 in approx 5 months

    On the whole yes, but I wasn't happy with Churchill who surprisingly are no longer with them as I had to fight to claim £150 for my car insurance. They eventually paid out but like they say it's not guaranteed!
