Quidco

Can someone explain to me please how exactly this site works. I signed up in november last year and until today never used it. I remembered it when buying a buy it now item on ebay and signed in thru quidco, now, how do I get my cashback? As there is nothing in my "earnings" bit. Also how soon can you have money deposited in your account?

Thank you in advance

If you follow a link from quidco to a site offering cashback, once you make a purchase your quidco earnings page should show a tracked earning amount in the timeframe stated on the page for that retailer on quidco.

Then your earnings will have a payment date for it. So for example if you bought something on Comet, it should track within about 3 days and then likely pays your quidco account in 60 days.

Once the balance on your quidco account reaches whatever you've set your payment preference to be then the money is sent to the account you name.

Sounds complicated but it's really very simple. They have an excellent help page on their website.

On ebay it's likely to be a small payout, but for comparison this month I bought house insurance and in May I should get £125 cashback for that.

Been using quidco for about a year. Got £140 back in Jan for car insurance and mobile phone from the Link. It works fine - would recommend it.

I've had about £180 back in the last 9 months (plus a £125 for barclays home insurance tracked but not yet paid)..

There can be some odd quirks but on the whole Quidco is a fantastic site.

You need to remember that quidco keep the first £5 you earn to cover operatin costs but after that they pass on evey penny to you.

The other thing to remember is that cashback is not guaranteed - I have had a couple where the supplier has simply withdrawn from quidco and refused to honour the outstanding cashbacks - but these are few and far between and in general it is outstanding.

The only obvious bit is dont buy it form a quidco supplier if you :-
1. Can get it cheaper elsewhere
2. are relying on the cashback arriving in a set time (or at all).

For example the Barclays house insurance I took out was £8 more expensive than my renewal quote (before the £125 cashback was taken into account) - if anything goes wrong I am down £8 if all OK I'm up £113.

Wether I would have done the same if the difference was £60 (i.e. be down £60 or up £65) I dont know ....

Phanco, I joined Quidco over three months ago and took out an Insurance at £125 with Barclays.

I, too, to date I have not received anything at all, I can't help thinking that I've been had, particularly bearing in mind the adverse publicity recently on barclays selling methods

I have been using Quidco for nearly a year and have had back about £250 so far ,including £125 cashback from Barclays for contents insurance, which took about 3 months to come through.

Have patience, I'm happy Quidco is a success. Over the last 18 months I've recieved about £600 and have nearly £300 currently tracking (home & contents insurance time!).

Prudential paid me £100 for my car insurance last October.

It takes time but it DOES work in the long term. If anything goes wrong I feel confident to say it will be the retailer at fault and not Quidco, whenever I've contacted them they've been helpful and positive.

i've used it with several things, and just realised thru reading this that eBay is there too, how can that work then, would i have to log onto eBay thru quidco every time, or can i do it once and save that as a favourite and then every winning auction will generate income for me, anyone any idea??
