greasy palm

i would love to know how other members make any money from greasy palm. i have only ever had one cheque and that was over 2 years ago. is there an easy way to build up your total that i am missing. i use them when i remember for boots, m & s etc but the big money seems to be for things like house insurance which i get elsewhere. i am about to do a uswitch on gas and elec so hopefully that will bring in some pennies. any tips would be great

  • I used to use GP but have just changed to Quidico, much better pay out than GP. Took me agggges to get £25 with GP but have already 85 with quidico in 3 weeks.

    The AA on quidico is giving £25 cashback for basic service which is about £35. Makes it very cheap.

    I know what you mean about GP but they do have quite a wide range of retailers on their 'books' which is always good.

    I amass all my pennies and pounds throughout the year and then annually I get my home insurance through them to tip me over the £25 mark and get one big fat cheque. I renewed my contents insurance in Nov (I live in a flat so no buildings ins needed) and I got it through Barclays which was the cheapest. Plus I got £62.50 cashback which was fantastic. So my cheque was about £80 - straight into the old ISA. :T
  • Bingo sites. There are are few of them where you can deposit £10 and get £12.50 in cashback. Thats a £2.50 proffit

    If you find a company on Greasy Palm (or anywhere else), mention it to Quidco and they will have a go at getting it on their list too. Have found Quidco to be better at tracking (except ebay) and they pay out more than GP. Also, you don't need to collect £25 before getting the cashback paid with Quidco. And Quidco pay by BACS straight into your account and not a cheque in the post.
  • Apply for the bank accounts etc that have no terms.

    I've applied for one at least 3 times, once every few months.

    Paid out cashback every time.
