    The Cahoot savings account seems to have dropped off, which is a bit of a bummer seeing as I applied for one only last week. Hasnt tracked so I'm not that optimistic about it.

    The other one that pays big is the gambling sites. If you're not a gamblaholic like some of us then there's loads of money to be had. I raised about £700 in a few weeks but wasnt strict enough with my deposits and withdrawals and probably lost a few hundred in the process. Worth the hassle if you can be sure you wont get sucked in.

    hi.

    having read above i checked quidco for the cahoot offers.

    it says £26.00 for current accounts and credit cards. does this mean the savings account option has gone? did it used to specifically say "savings account"?

    dont want to sign up for a savings if there is no quidco money.

    opinions.

    thank you.

    It definately said savings account as well last week, so I guess they've removed it. Too many people signing up for the easy money I guess.
