Firstly, you'll get double the cashback rates at www.quidco.com (less a one-off annual admin fee of £5 which is deducted from your earnings.)

All cashback sites use cookies to track the transaction and check that you have gone through their site. They are then paid commission from the company which they pass on to you.

THIS ARTICLE should help to explain how cashback sites work. Just scroll down to the second half for the relevant info.

Simply this you visit the site and login. You click via a merchant site say Tescos. That link contains information on where you come from say Greasypalm stored in a cookie. Greasypalm signed merchants via a 3rd party like Tradedoubler who have the information in that cookie, who then pay Greasypalm who then pay you, it can take svereal months though to get the money

I find Topcashback just as good as Quidco you also pay a annual fee but it was free when I joined. Had to many issues with bad tracking on Quidco for my liking
