    Quidco is a cashback referral site.

    Basically you register with Quidco and then you can access the list of merchants. When you want to buy something from an online store then go to Quidco and see if they have that store on their list. If they do then follow thier link through to that website (make sure you are logged in to Quidco) and then go ahead and buy what you want.

    The cashback is paid to Quidco from the merchant and Quidco then pass that on to you and pay you directly each month (minus £5 admin charge once a year when you have earned at least that amount in cashback).

    You do not need to enter any codes on the merchant websites as you have followed the link from Quidco and any transactions you make will (or should) 'track' on your quidco account. You can check that they have by looking at the 'my earnings' section of Quidco. If a transaction has not tracked then you can raise an enquiry through Quidco. It is all pretty straightforward to follow.

    Hope this helps.

  • So if I click thru to say Betfred, do I get cashback from Quidco AND the free £25 bet?

    Well no because Betfred doesn't seem to be a Quidco merchant. But hypothetically, yes, if they are a Quidco merchant and you go via quidco, you would get whatever cashback Quidco offer, plus any incentive that the merchant offers.
