I did a search for this and I don't think it's been posted and I think it should be this thread.

Quidco cashback says £6 but tracks at £15

minimum loan is £1 for 1 day costing £6.56 (5.56 intrest) making a profit of £9.44

Sorry if there's already a thred.

    I never normally would but a friend had to use them a bit ago and got the cashback no problems so thought I'd give it a go for the extra amount.
    £5.66 loss or £9.44 profit - not the biggest bet of the century but it's tracked and I know they've paid before.

    If you enter the voucher code MYvc42 it takes off £5.50 from the interest bit so you get a £1 loan for £1.01 + quidco if it tracks!

    i am sure having an association on your credit file with a loan company of this niche will do wonders for your credit....

    Mortgage company,

    can you explain how you were desperate enough to borrow £1 from a loan company

    "oh yes, I needed it for my supermarket trolley"

    Under the box with the scroll bars, instead of clicking APPLY NOW or whatever it was, click on "enter promo code" enter and confirm :)
