I'm new to it and would appreciate any useful suggestions!

    Well I got £3.50 for registering with the National Lottery site (50p) then going back and buying 2 lucky dips (£3). OK it cost me £2 but you could get away with buying only 1. You have to put at least a fiver in your account though so only worth it if you'd usually buy a ticket.

    Bingos.co.uk got me £30 for a £10 investment too. I'd be interested to hear other people's recommendations!

    Ooh, off the top of my head...

    Dvd rental trials, do Blockbuster, Lovefilm and Screenselect cos they're all separate companies. Remember to cancel and return discs in time and it shouldn't cost anything. edit - thanks to reformed man for letting me know that screenselect and lovefilm are now merged so you'll only get a free trial from one, not both. beware!!

    BUPA life insurance quote.. its not shown on quidco but if you click the link and get a quote you should get £3 tracked ok doesn't seem to be listed anymore :confused:

    Usually a magazine subscription trial... £1 and get £4 cashback... remember to cancel before the trial is up.

    Bookies and gaming sites if you want a bit of 'speculate to accumulate'! But don't spend more than you can afford to lose cos the cashback is not guaranteed.

    Particularly good are bingos, £30 for deposit £10. jackpot joy £20 for depositing £10. william hill states £10 for £5 deposit but I got tracked and paid £30 :j :D

    I particuarly like the slots type ones (such as jackpot joy) because there are often games you can play where the winnings are not great but you're likely to keep your money or make a small profit. Obviously this is not guaranteed but it does often allow you to play through the required amount and qualify for the cashabck whilst still hopefully having something left to withdraw :j If you do go for jackpot joy - be aware, the bonus they offer you (equal to your first deposit) means you cannot withdraw anything until you've played through (your deposit + bonus) x 4 e.g. deposit £10 and you'll have to play through £80, not including roulette, before you can withdraw anything. I was lucky and managed this but if you don't want to take the chance - opt out of the bonus when depositing.

    I'll update with some links and more stuff in a mo... off to look at my quidco account! :)

    Ok, last edit!! There's a quidco thread here where you can ask questions and discuss all things quidco :D

    Kelkoo - 10p for a search
    High Street Web - 8p for a search
    Once a day, better than nothing

    Um, if you are over 21 - cahoot savings account, open with £1 get £20.

    Bingo ones are good if you are careful and switch things - insurance etc

    I'd go for the bingo ones too - but only if you can afford the risk of losing money as its never guaranteed cashback - its sooooooo boring though watching online bingo.

    P&O ferries, 25p for registering your details and it's a very short form.
    Deal Time, Kelkoo and High St Web all give you 8-10p for using their search facility.
