Quidco- show me the money! (some good stuff lately..)

http://www.quidco.com/highest-rates-currency/

with the grand national looming last week, i'd thought i would have my annual flutter. doing a search for race info, a quidco link came up, offering cashback when you did your first deposit.. a no lose bet is my favourite kind (also got £20 odd each way return, on Black Apalachi..!)

anyways, looking through quidco, i have seen some others which folks may want to have a ook at- no idea how long they last, so get in quick!

i am not endorsing any product or service at all- though if you were going to use them, might as well get something back!


Betfair - £20 for initial deposit/bet of £10 or more..
(NB- Betfair often do promo's themselves, without a Quidco referral!)

Vanquis- £50 for successful credit card app -
no card fee, annual charge etc.. (yep, even i got one!).

lovefilm - £15 for taking a 2week free trial
---be sure to cancel in good time!! ----

(various) mobile broadband / phone- up to £120
-depending on the contract you take.. iPhones especially.

Match / Match Affinity - up to £45 / 69, based on how long you sign up for.. be warned, its a VERY long application!

would be interested to see what else people find..

    Interesting.
    How do these 'deals' on TCB or any of the other cash-back sites? I'm asking cos quidco charge a whopping fiver per annum and all the other sites don't. If the payouts are the same then with quidco taking a fiver of your money they aren't so good.

  • you dont physically pay the £5 quidco 'commission'- first fiver of the total deals you do goes to them, the rest is yours.

    I haven't tried any others, but I have seen this discussion before and apparently Quidco is more likely to pay out and/or has more good offers. I'm happy with it, but if you're using others and are happy with them, no reason to change.

    look in the payments tab to see what money you actually have
    check your payout level as well
  • i guess it's best to check the tracking (most update withing hours, or a day or two at most.. betfait one tracked and currrently £0.00.. probbaly a bit busy over the weekend!

    .. and claim monies regularly (ie, as soon as confirmed!)
