Recently joined Quidco & fat cheese, as buy quite a bit online so figured may as well get the cash back!
Me & OH have been thinking of other ways to up our income, as saving for our wedding in september 2011.
What I was wondering - if you take a credit card through cashback site, you get some money - but does taking out various credit cards affect your credit record in terms of getting a mortgage etc? I always pay my credit card off in full every month, so don't mind getting a credit card that has a higher APR, as would pay it off before interest charged in any case - but say I was to take out a new credit card every couple of months (after closing the last one) to get the cash back - would it reflect badly on my credit status?
