  • I earned 75p today by checking into a few stores - I didn't even have to go inside I just checked in as I walked past and the money confirmed and was payable on my account straight away!

    Which stores just out of interest? Does it only work on set stores?

    The app gives you a map of local nearby stores :)

    So how do you check in? Does it work via GPS automatically or do you have scan something with your phone?

    I really like this idea and it works. You simply go down to one of the stores and click a button within the app saying 'check in to earn x p.'

    The app has a map showing you where the stores are and distance.

    The app uses the phones inbuilt GPS to ensure your close by and the money is deposited straight into your quidco account.

    I did notice a few bugs though:

    - The New Look store on the app was no where near where it actually was (about half a mile away).

    - When I walked to where it was on the map it came up with an error saying 'check in no longer available'.

    - Both the Carphone Warehouse and Thorntons didnt exist on the app at all. The Halfords and T-Mobile ones worked fine. 40p confirmed.
