  • I have just applied for my first voucher courtesy of pigsback, pleased with this as i have not even bought anything., and should have £8 from quidco after some shopping today, though trying to ignore the £35 i spent to get it.

    I still can't believe just how much you can make here and there that all adds up, i haven't got round to really focusing on this yet:o have decided to do so when the kids go back to school as i will have more QUIET time;) to really sit down, read it all and then give it a go.

    So far i have £10 boots voucher from quidco and will soon have another 2 od those making £30 of boots vouchers in total and i haven't spent anything to get them:D

    Almost another £10 on my boots card

    should have £10 of tescos vouchers in time for christmas.

    £30 from quidco and a £90 query which i REALLY hopes goes through smoothly in our favour.

    still plenty more ways i can try and get a few extra pennies hopefully:cool:

    I registered with Quidco and I don't see the attraction of it as far as making money goes. So maybe you'll all explain it to me! There are lots of online shops and if you buy something from one using Quidco as the portal you can get either cash or a % of your spend put into your account. I think I've grasped that. But in order to make money you have to spend more money. Is that right? Is there any way of making money from Quidco that doesn't involve spending it first?
    I know that lots of DFWs swear by it but to me it seems odd to spend money to get a bit back especially since there are few companies affiliated to Quidco that sell anything I'd want or need. I suppose I'm looking for someone to give a breakdown of how they've amassed £50-£60-£100.
    Thanks in advance

    my £244 was "made" through various things, some buying online i.e. we booked our holiday through quidco/thomson and got £30 cashback, also my car insurance was up for renewal and prudential was £1 more expensive than my renewal quote so I went with prudential and got £100 cashback!
    I signed up for the 2 easymobile sims at a cost of £2 and got £40 back, also I opened a cahoot savings account - cost me nothing but got £20 for doing it! etc etc
