    If you go to the entertainment bit in quidco and slect dvd rentals there are some that offer free trials and the cashback is for completeing the trial. You have to follow through with the trial (ie) order some dvds and send them back. Some people were just signing up for free trials and never ordering any dvds so that is why they say you have to follow through with the trial.

    Also look at changing home/car/pet/travel insurance to companies who can give you a good deal and arrange cashback through quidco.

    The gambling / bingo ones are good to although you do have to pay out a small amount initially. I registered with one of the bingo sites and credited my account with a tenner and got thirty quid paid into my paypal account at the start of this month. you need to be careful with these ones though. I would only spend the minimum needed to get the cashback. Although my oh sometimes plays on them for fun!!!!

    Edit: while I was writing sickofhavingnomoney has said most of it :o :rotfl:

    Money to be made on quidco for no money spent:

    DVD trials, try Sainsburys, Screenselect and Blockbuster. You can't do all the ones that are listed on quidco together, though, because some are actually owned by the same company and will only allow you one trial per parent company, if you see what I mean. I did those three above and got £30 in total. If you don't want to watch any dvd, just get the first ones they send, keep them a few days, then return. Make sure to phone and cancel before the end of your free trial.

    Dennis Publishing - £4 for signing up to a free trial of a magazine subscription. Again, get one or two copies and cancel before the trial ends.

    'Daily Clicks' - Kelkoo is the only one that will track for me. Maximum one search per day, just click through to kelkoo, search for something, leave the window open a minute or two. 10p per time (one a day), up to you whether its worth the effort!

    Snapfish etc as already mentioned, set up account, submit digital photos, get the free prints in the post and get the cashback too :)

    And if you're prepared to spend a bit (to get more back eventually!), try gambling sites, open an account and place a bet. Usually £10 deposit required and cashback between £15 and £25. See the 'gambling introductory loopholes' forum for info on how to bet your stake for a guaranteed return if you've got the headspace to understand the systems! Otherwise, just bet on something for fun or something with low odds to hope you get your stake back plus a bit. Please don't take these up if you think you might be tempted to gamble for real, obviously :)

    And anything that you would normally be buying online, buy through quidco, might only be pence but it will help.

    Pretty soon quidco are introducing bacs payment straight to your bank account which should save money and time compared to paypal payments :D

    Ah, I see, that's a bit of a problem then! Although there are some offers that don't require payment they do mostly require you to register a card with them to get a free trial or whatever :( You could always do the daily clicks but at 10p each it'd be a while before you made your fortune :rotfl:

    Something to bear in mind in future when you're able to get a better bank card, I guess.

    Good luck with your dmp!

    Its good that you know your own limits!! I wouldn't recommend any of the gambling sites etc anyway if you're in a very tight financial situation because, although you do get back more cashback than what you spend, it can take months to come through and there are no absolute guarantees that it will track (although has been good 99% of the time for me).
