    There's a thread on the Grabbit now board.

    It's a purchase referral site.
    So, if you were looking for car insurance and clicked through from Quidco, you might get cashback.

    Have a look on the site https://www.quidco.com

    There is an admin fee of £5 but it comes off your cashback total

  • quidco is a purely cashback site... basically you do clickthroughs/dvdrentals/purchases/signup for bingo sites/buy insurance... each time you do one of those you either get a set amount or a percentage back... this will show as tracked on your earnings... once your merchant has payed quidco it will show as verified/recived... then once you have been payed it (into your bank account/paypal account) it will show as payed... you must though however use it to your advantage ie sign up to a bingo site then spend the £10 deposit (playing) and then never play/deposit again (typical cashback is £10 to sign up £30 cashback + £20 profit ~ this is an example not always true)... this works the same with dvd rentals... sign up get 1 or 2 dvd out... watch them... send them back then close your account before you have to start paying a subscrition fee (you get cashback with no outlay)

    there is some downsides to this (as some say)... the first £5 you earn quidco will take it as admin fee... thats it £5 per year... you have to wait sometimes up to 3 months for each merchant to pay so its not 'fast cash'... also you cookies have to be clear for the purchase etc to track (if you have been on the said site before it will not link to quidco) easiest way to do this clear your cocckies/cache before entering the quidco site...

    there is also a thread on the mse site somewhere on quidco worth a lot... i have only scratched the surface :rotfl:

    also high street web give 8p per visit each day... sign up to devil cards too for 10p... and to the lottery £3.50 but only if you play anyways otherwise you will waste the £5 deposit

    If you put free in the search box on quidco, it shows some free no purchase offers.
    One is brochure bank...apply for travel brochures 5p per one...but there is a maximum.
