    The one thing to remember is that the cashback is never a 'sure thing'. Tracking can fail, validation can fail and Quidco don't exactley put themselves out to help you.

    Rule of thumb is if you are happy with a price, just see the cashback as a bonus.

    I've had £980 in 3 years - but have had cashback of over £250 declined on genuine purchases.

    You'd be surprised at how much it adds up. I've been with them three years, bought lots of bits, had about £100 from 3 laptops and £100 from a phone contract....but the "bits" added up to £300 cashback! :D brilliant for doing nothing!

    Watch out for competing cookies, its where your items track but they cannot pay you due to the cookies going elsewhere apparently.
    I always wanted to be a procrastinator, never got round to it...

    There are also some free sites such as Top cash back. I use them as well as Quidco depending which is the better deal...

    I started using quidco after seeing it on here about a year and a half ago and I have got nearly £500 in cashback.....

    I have registered with Quidco but havent used it yet because I'm unsure of something and maybe someone can help me out - I have done internet shopping for several years and already have accounts with Play.com, M&S etc - can I still go via Quidco for the retailers I have used before or does it have to be a retailer that I've never used i.e registering with them via Quidco?

    (I'm kicking myself that I didn't discover Quidco before now!!!!)

    Any advice really appreciated
  • I can recommend Quidco too - had lots of cash back on items I was buying anyway. For things like car/house/contents insurance I always check direct first what the prices are and then do it thro Quidco. The cashback is then a bonus.

    :cool:
    I am NOT a mortgage & insurance adviser - or anything to do with finance, that was put on by the new system I dont know why?!

    It can be ANY retailer that they have contact if you already have an account or not.

    Enjoy.
