    quidco is very safe and secure, there is no risk involved. there are many (millions probably) quidco users in the UK.

    I personally use topcashback (quidco's competitor), exactly the same idea, but they tend to have higher rates and don't keep the first £5 you earn in cashback per year like quidco do

    There are several & you can check if any of them are offering a higher rate, via the link http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/cashback-sites-comparison/
  • Quidco is a genuine site. Am in my 3rd year with them and i have never have problem with payment. They pay on the 1st and 15th of every month. You have the option of PayPal or direct to your bank account. I used direct to bank account and it;s been a good site to me. Last month 30th jAN I was paid £6 AND ON 14th Feb, i have received another payment of £6.40. The only exception is they charge you yearly fee of £5 which i don't really mind as much as i get my money on time.

    With them, I have only had my cashback decline once by British airways which was actually my fault cos i didn't no BA won't pay cashback on long flight.

    I will definitely recommend them if you don't mind paying he yearly fee

    I use TopCashback too, they are very good :)
  • Completely genuine - its a massive business that pays out hundreds of thousands in cashback a year!
  • Yes, its great to use especially for insurance. I have saved thousands now over 3 years of use.

    Quidco is brilliant. Some of my favourite discounts are hotels.com, electricity packages, phone and internet packages, and travel insurance. I have also linked it to my card so when I buy something in Halfords and other shops instore I get a cash back.

    Yes Topcashback I think is generally considered a bit better nowadays as there's no yearly fee to pay. Which ever you decide on though, make sure you signup through one of the website that give you a little bit extra in your account to get you going, for example www.nobrainers.co.uk signup bonus will give an extra £5 for topcashback, and £1.50 for Quidco.
    The fee is only taken from the money you make.

    Its still £5 you could have had. Plus you get more than 100% with tcb if you use them a lot I currently get 102%.

    Could you explain linking quidco to your card. It sounds interesting. Thanks!
