    If you google "quidco" and go to the Quidco site, there are whole pages explaining what it is, how it works, and how to sign up...

    Basically if you're buying something online rather than go straight to the website you go to quidco first, search for the online store most are included, tesco direct, mobile sites, shopping sites etc, the amount you spend you receive a percentage into the quidco account, so for example if you spend £300 in Tesco Direct you receive 3% - £9 (if my maths is correct). All you have to do to get it is click to go to tesco direct through the quidco site. It really is that simple.

    You can choose when you receive cashback so it can be sent every month no matter whats in the account or you can set a limit, every time it got to say £25 you can have it paid out.

    It sounds too good to be true but honestly I've been using it for a while and have had £50 so far on purchases I was making anyway.

    They sometimes have offers such as signing up to virgin media and receiving £150, that's on top of any offers you get from V.M themselves.

    As above says though there is more detailed information on their site :) I definately recommend it though.

    Topcashback is also good. I've received about £400 from them, and a colleague of mine has received over £2000!!!

    Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.

    Quidco is well worth it, you pay a fiver out of your first cashback and then it is free, I've had over £100 back from things I would have bought anyway!

    Please remember to treat the cashback as an added bonus, don't buy just to get the cashback unless you can afford to gamble. I've had over £1000 from Quidco - but I've also had 3 honest purchases (with cashback worth over £150) turned down.
    Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree! :D

    Hi IHaveNoMoney.com,

    As your thread isn't strictly related to Old Style and has dropped down the board I've moved it to the Shop but don't drop board where you may get more replies.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com"]forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    I prefer TopCashBack - just as good as Quidco, but no fee. They'll also match Quidco on the occassions where Quidco has a better rate - you just have to submit a query.
