    Anyone notice that with Quidco you can earn just over £8 a month (£0.28 per day) just from clickthrus like Kelkoo and HighStreet Web?

    As Mr EL also has an account, we will earn over £16 a month - over £200 a year, for clickin' 4 or 5 times a day...

    I average around £2 a day from all the clickthrus I do - anyone else do this? Takes 15-20 mins. A bit of hassle to start but hey, working from home it takes no time and even if I was working, it's now an MSE habit!

    Hi EagerLearner
    Didn't think you could do this, unless you purchased something, I'll give it a try. Where do you have click on high street web? it seems like a home page with loads of different areas.

    Hi AngleseLondon - if you look at 'Shopping' section on Quidco on the left it's under shopping comparison I think, then you will see several and you can do 1 click per day. Remember to clear your cookies beforehand. When you get to Kelkoo then you have to search for something, then click on one of the results. Same for the others - you only get the £0.10p by clicking from the shopbot (ie: Kelkoo/High Street Web) through to another site.

    PS: To avoid confusion, the £2 I make per day is through 4 other cashback sites -this Quidco money is on top x

  • Hello there,
    i've been reading this thread since it started on my way to work on my mobile phone everyday. I would like to join you all as i am saving up to buy a car when or if i pass my driving lessons. So far i have £1000 in premium bonds which i just put in there too see if i could win some cash towards the car. I have £250 halifax regular saver. £300 in the yorkshire building society regular saver. Oh and now £54 in £2 coins which is the grand total of £1604. Keeping my fingers crossed for the p bonds. I also have £125 to come from quidco this month so in january i will have saved £375 not including quidco. I am getting nearer towards a driving test so i was hoping you nice people could spur me on.
    Good luck all with your savings too!

    I am saving up for a car, and think i'm going to get a KA when I graduate. Two of my friends have them, and they say the petrol goes a long way!
