Topcashback or Quidco - Which is Best?

Options
Hi

I'm new to the forum so please be gentle! I'm sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place.

I've signed up with Topcashback but am wondering if Quidco is better? I've no idea!

Thanks for the help, xx

    I've always used quidco as it has more retailers and higher cashback. Also more reliable. But topcashback doesn't charge £5, does the highest cashback guarantee work, could you do the £150 orange offer on top cashback?

  • There's nothing to stop you doing both! In fact having accounts with more than one cashback site comes in handy when offers are on both, but for different amounts - obviously go with the higher paying one! Also make sure you use two different email a/cs and you can do the daily clicks and low cost/freebies on both.

    It's only a game

    I've used both. I started out with Quidco but after using that for 2 years I now do most of my shopping through TopCashBack links.

    There isn't really any difference between any of the cashback websites, the underlying technology is the same for all of them. The vast majority of transactions that fail to track are caused by particular retailers or users' computers, so ignore the people who argue that one site is more reliable than another.

    As MrsBartolozzi suggested, have an account with both and go for the best deal. Personally, I'd do all spending through TopCashBack (as there's no £5 fee) unless the cashback amount works out greater after taking into consideration that £5 fee (like the Orange example given).

    There's no need to use different email accounts though.

    I only have topcashback because it doesn't have any fee, and usually the offers are the same in all cashback sites, but as they said before, try both then.
    Being brave is going after your dreams head on
  • I use both and always check them both out for the best deals before shopping

    I like topcashback best but also have a quidco account
  • I was wary of quidco because they charge you for doing it but they only take the money out of your earnings, so if you don't earn anything they don't charge you. I've not tried topcashback yet, I'm also fairly new to cashback sites.
  • I am new to this Quidco & Topcashback. We are booking a holiday this week and I want to use Topcashback.
    Can I ask for some info? As long as I am signed in and go to the site through Topcashback do I receive the discount offered and also the discount that the holiday company offers me by booking online?

    Thanks
    Loved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!
