I have had a look on their website and am completely confused....:confused:

Sorry if i'm being a little dim
Time to make a change .......

    Quidco gives you money for going to selected retailers through their site so that they get the commision from the retailers. Say if you were wanting car insurance, go to the section on car insurance and click on whichever company you want to get a quote from. The catch is, unless it's a free offer, you have to take up the quote (or buy something from the retailer) to get the cash back. Still, if you are shopping online anyway....

    That is astounding how did you manage that?
    I have so far spent 30 quid and have only 75, although I have 60 pounds of winnings from my football betting and after one more bet at tote sport I receive another 15 making a grand total of 90 at quid co and 60 in betting sites of profit(which I am trying my hardest not to touch untill my quid co comes through so I can have it all at once:)) so of 150 120 will be mine and my girlfriends to share

  • I think a lot of people were having problems with computer shopper.The free dvd trials are great for quidco money.
  • Hi
    I am fairly new to this site. I have seen the name quidco mentioned a few times without realising what it is
    Is there a link from mse to it

    A good one I have just used is snapfish.co.uk.
    I created a new account, which gave me 20 free photos, ordered them for free and used a code for free delivery. Cost me nothing, got some nice photos and have £3.50 tracked by quidco.
  • There should be a forum for quidco like there is for pigsback to help us all take advantage of these little loopholes. I've just started with quidco and have to say I'm not very good at finding the loopholes to earn cash without spending, but I have made £8.00 so far on cash back from purchases I would have made anyway so that's money for nothing...a very good site...
