remember other cashback sites may offer better deals so best to be a member of more than one

Too right, some sites also DON'T charge any annual fees and some actually pay MORE than 100% cashback.

Obviously it's not rocket-science that you use the most cost-effective one. Silly to waste money.

I have been with quidco and have benefited from more than £2600+ of cashback paid into my account HOWEVER over the last couple of months I have noticed the following:

1. High value transaction (mobile contracts, AA, Virgin, Energy switch) are not getting tracked automatically (have to raise a manual claim
2. Payments are not correctly tracked (even at the confirmed stage)
3. Low value transactions are still pending from 2009/2010/2011
4. Some transactions remain at 0.00 unless intervene manually

As much as I have benefited from Quidco from last 5 years I am now considering moving to other cashback sites.

And the next interesting question is: are cashback payments liable for income tax?

I tend to use TopCashBack more than Quidco, not least because there's no yearly charge, they pay >100% and you have the option being paid in Amazon vouchers. Kidstart has cashback for some retailers that don't appear on TCB or Quidco e.g. Lakeland and John Lewis. It often takes longer to find the best cashback deal than it does to place the order LOL.

I'll get slagged off for this, so I'll say it nicely. There are other forums on here to ask about Quidco? Imagine me asking about my Uncle Henry's false teeth, or my laptop won't start in safe mode. The forum for quick grabbits would be awful. Just try and think before you post. In the meantime, any chance this can be moved? Referal Forum, Up your Income Forum?

Tin hat on.

100% agree some people are so lazy and CBA to look for a relevant forum, so they just post in the one they use the most.

That's why I was gentle with you;) For the record you can't move threads after they have been started - unless you are a forum 'helper'. Welcome aboard anyway. We've all made mistakes when we first started.
