How do I use Quidco to make money??

I'm 26, I rent a room in a blokes house, I have 2 CC's, 2 loans and a student loan :sad:
I've seen in some people's signatures that they have made money on Quidco but I'm not sure how it works? I cant switch gas/electricity stuff as not my place and am worried about signing up for things in case they do credit checks or I forget to cancel before payment leaves my account.
Also, is quidco the same as Greasypalm?
Thanks for your replies, this site is fab!:T

    I'd be interested in the answer to this - I'm a bit unclear on it as well.

    you cant really use quidco to MAKE money. You can use it to SAVE money...

    The only ways you can make money are either
    a) from gambling site referals which are risky, you can lose money for no benefit, or
    b) from the 10p search links - which takes a while and doesnt earn you much at all.

    If you read and re-read the matched betting newbie threads on the gambling offers and loopholes board they give clear advice on how to make money through matched betting. But like seanparkin says there is a risk to gambling IF you don't understand how to do matched betting or you have an addictive personality and start gambling without matching your bets.
    Also like sean parkin says there is the click-throughs and also many other ways to earn money on quidco. I usually get £50-£100/month by spending v.little if any of my own money.
    Your best bet is to subscribe to the Quidco thread on the Referrers board. If there are any new money making ops on Quidco they will be posted there.
    Good luck.
