    The daily searches on Kelkoo can be for anything you would search for to buy, I've been looking for Lost season 1, I also searched for that on the High Street Web, at the car source you can just search for new and used cars, you have to click on the websites for the Kelkoo and High Street Web searches and then you get paid... ;)

    I hope thats of some help, seemed to come out as a bit of a garbled mess... :o

    Thanks. I have used kelkoo before and know what car sourse is. But didn't realise you can get paid for doing the searches on there.

    Is there a thread on here that explains this a bit more or if you can let me know how it works I will be very grateful.

  • If you join quidco and then go to Kelkoo and the other sites via quidco the searches you do will be tracked and you will get paid for them, you can only do one a day tho... I don't know a great deal about it myself as still quite new but it seems to work quite well for me so far !

    Thanks.

    I went searching and found this out. Got about 14p tracked so far. Will do this once a day and see how much I can build up.

    £50 tracked in one day? How?
    The most I get is 10p.

    Unless you bought something is it?

  • Hi all,

    I'm off on holiday for a week so I'll do my bit slightly early:

    Debt Totals

    Egg: £6659.42
    Capital One: £2042.28
    Lloyds: £1946.28
    Amex: £5837.88

    Total: £16,485.86

    Massive £691 dent made in my debt yesterday but I'm not there yet. Considering whether to get a M&S 3.9% Life of Balance Transfer card but not sure that I'd actually get it :confused: but it could be used to decrease my interest payments.

    Not much more will be paid off this month, apart from normal direct debits (£250ish) and ebay sales (got £22 and another £18.50 will sell). I am hoping to start matched betting again, so say £50 if I get off my !!!! this weekend.

    So I might be down to £16,000 at the end of the month...

  • I've been holding money in my current account until the day before pay day so that I get interest on it and can use it if anything expensive that I've forgotten about comes up.

    I didn't need it, so paid it towards my Capital One card.
