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.

mrs sparkle i have just done this, when you buy a ticket will they automatically track the other £3.50?

*sorry about all the questions, a quidco newbie here lol*

What an excellent post Kath :T I picked up a couple of bits even though I got over £225 in my Quidco account. Thank you for taking the time :beer:

S'alright hun... just off the top of my head!

I always think there should be a post somewhere on this site of quidco beginners advice, but there doesn't seem to be. There's the quidco thread but it doesn't have a summary like pigsback does. I'd happily try to put together such a thing if I knew where to put it

Hi, yes- I registered with the site last night and got my 50p for registering within a couple of hours. I went back on today and bought 2 lucky dips and a further £3 appeared as tracked within about 10 mins- very quick.

I'm finding it hard to be patient with some of the tracking- I'm waiting for 2 x £25 and 1 x £7.50 which are taking ages but you can't query them until 14 days are up.

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.

Apparently Screenselect and Lovefilm have merged so you can now only get a free trial on one rather than both. Having said that Screenselect are very good with a huge choice of films and both they and Blockbuster are extremely easy to use.

If using the Blockbuster trial you will need to cancel and also return the DVDs before the 14 days are up. If they don't get them back by the 14th day you will get charged.

The current offer for Screenselect via Quidco gives you a 30 day trial which should mean you can watch a nice selection for free!

That's interesting... thanks for the info. When i did it a few months back screenselect and lovefilm were separate.

Thank you

I joined Coral Betting through Quidco (you have to deposit £10) and I got £20 on quidco for doing so.

I bet my £10 deposit on various horses/football matches (I took the risk!) and once you have used your £10 deposit on betting, Coral give you a further £10 for betting (this is for betting only, you cannot withdraw this free £10).

I won £30 on betting on a horse today ! wahoo. But that is it though, I have transferred that to my bank account and won't be using that site again (and I still have £20 extra in quidco).

:j woo hoo :j i think thats the way to do it, as soon as i see if i win on weds with the ticket i wont use the national lottery again, too much temptation (for me anyway) quidco is great if you use it like you have:D

I want to do more of these but I'm holding off at the moment as I'm trying to get my head around the matched betting thingy before I nab all the bookie bonuses.
