Making money from cash back sites?

popadom

I want to sign up to quid co but how do you use these sites to make money. SHould you only use them if you actually need to buy something from the companies mentioned or is it worth doing it for the cash back?

I think topcashback is the best. And they dont charge a £5 admin fee.

I have made £3 already and have only used it twice.

I got £1.75 yesterday for using gocompare to look for car insurance.

I use TopCashBack (TCB) - would recommend it! I haven't used Quidco, my other-half uses it though and it certainly doesn't seem as reliable as TCB in terms of tracking and paying out.

I've got £50 from using TCB so far, on things that I was buying anyway (such as CDs, DVDs, Car/Home/Travel insurance, general online shopping).

Cashback is never guaranteed, so I wouldn't say it's worth doing unless you're purchasing something anyway.

It also takes around 2 to 3 months for the cashback to become payable, so it's not instant money.

If something you're buying is cheaper but no cashback, I would go for the cheaper purchase - at the end of the day, a pound in your pocket now is worth more than possibly getting some cashback in 3 months time - that really is certainly true for the most part.

Whichever Cashback site you use, just remember that is isn't guaranteed and check that you're getting the best deal for you on what your purchasing.

I think the original question was something else which wasn't answered.

It's worth doing it for nil spend offers, cashback for free trials, daily clicks etc.

Quidco used to be good but not now. Items either dont track or if they do it is for an incorrect amount. If you raise a claim you wait up to a year to be told it has been rejected with no reason given.
I have not heard of Topcashback but I will now give them a go.

I got £4.04 for depositing £5 into a new National Lottery account and buying a line of numbers.
