I am in my 5th year with Quidco and have made over £1200 so far. Due to moving and mobile upgrade I am expecting another £300 this year alone. I dont like the TCB website, I find it confusing and much prefer the layout at Q.

Caution: I would not use Quidco as a way to up my income per say as you obviously do need to spend money to get some back. Sometimes it does not track or pay out and you dont want to be depending on that! It is just a nice bonus on somethings you would have spent money on anyway, otherwise it is not moneysaving, is it?!

bit like paying £5 for something you can get free

When a large affliate went bust - TCB covered all the payments from their own money.

They have also paid me a few times themselves, for items that failed to track.

They seem more willing to decline the cashback these days though.

Within about 3 years I have had £319, before I purchase anything online, always visit Quidco first.

In the past couple of days I've made £100 via Quidco - admittedly all through big purchases but purchases that I'd be making with or without Quidco (new phone, trip to London and home insurance), prior to this I've really only made about that each year. You need to remember to use it/check it for everything though.

I'm going to check our Topcashback now too...

Bought an oven priced at £499 from Currys via Quidco.

Price from Currys was cheapest I could find anywhere on-line or in-store.

By going through Quidco I got 8% off the £499 as an immediate price reduction and then a cashback as well - oven cost £450 in the end with the cashback, so I got an immediate saving that I couldn't get any other way plus a delayed discount.

I have to say, though, I bought a laptop from HP via Quidco and it took 6 months for the cashback to arrive.

it says a lot about how i feel about quidco when i click through an offer and look to raise an immediate 'missing cashback' claim at the earliest opportunity ..

I've had good experiences with Quidco in the past.

i'm sure many people have. it's just that in my experience, i've only ever had a single cashback offer track and payout without any issues, and that was netflix.

the latest one is from sky, so i honestly don't expect to see any cashback before christmas at least.

I've been with topcashback for a few years now and made £1,700. I used to be with Quidco but their customer service is not as good (if the merchant doesnt pay it's tough but topcashback often pay me out of their own pocket) and I don't waste £5 of my cashback a year. Topcashback also top up my cashback each month and have high rates due to their matching process.
