    It can take a few months sometimes - it depends on the merchant. When you successfully make a transaction, your payment screen tells you if it tracked or not, and how long the payment will take to go through.

    Its not an instant cash thing, but its good for long term stuff if you see the money as a bonus on things you would have bought anyway.

    Yes, it's great.

    You can now get paid using BACS (money transferred straight into your bank account for a 25p fee, which can be earned clicking on things using Kelkoo, Carsource or TheHighStreetWeb). This is alot quicker than Paypal in my experience.

    You get paid monthly, but it will take a month or two for your first cashbacks to be paid.

    Quidco will take a £5 admin fee from your first payment, and annually thereafter. I joined in mid-April and received my first payment at the beginning of June. I'm pleased they've introduced BACS payments and it's only 5p per payment!

    So thoroughly recommended!

    There's a quidco thread here for anyone who's interested. There isn't really a 'top tips' bit, there should be I guess like there is for pigsback, but its a good thread with knowledgeable people to answer questions (and occasional input from quidco representatives too!).

    Hope that helps
