Does Quidco really work like this....?

I've just registered and am waiting for my activation to use the site.

Barclays, as an example, are offering £125 for each accepted Home Insurance policy via Quidco.

If I am only paying £130 a year now, I could take out a Barclays policy up to say £200 and STILL be making £55. It sounds too easy.

Also - Can I just use USwitch via Quidco and get payment from them AND also get cash from the company that I decide to switch to?

One last thing - does anyone use NPower?

Cheers

I got home insurance from directline for £96.60 and I'm waiting for Quidco to give me £60 for it Also signed up to a gaming site, put in £10 and got £10 from then which I then played (and won £18!), took my £10 and got £20 from Quidco

I've deliberately avoided NPower as I don't like their doorstep hassling and conning of people.

Cheers - I've just switched to Npower for Gas and Scottish Electric for ...Electric using the USwitch link in Quidco.


The cashback figures shown seem bigger when looking directly at the suppliers (Scottish Power, for example).

Should I have compared using USwitch and then gone back to the individual supplier links

OR

will I get the payment from USwitch AND ALSO the payment from the company that I have changed to?



Thanks

I have made £80 from quidco so far and that is only doing stuff that I would normally have done anyway and buying things from those who I would normally buy from. I had my insurance via post office via quidco. It wasnt the cheapest but with their £50 cash back and the money from quidco it was!

Can anyone advise on my last few questions?

Thanks

I don't think you get cashback from Uswitch for switching. You get the cashback from Quidco when you make the change through Uswitch when you click through from Quidco.

If you've made the change then it's too late to get Quidco cashback.

Which I did do - On checking Quidco this morning, there are 2 entries under 'My Earnings' for uSwitch Partner Programme at £16 and £18.

I guess these are for the Energy transfers.....
