    I searched for virgin, said 7 offers, shows only two in the first line. There are so many sites it's confusing :eek:
  • moreeco.com is nice but they have few shops, not worth the time to spend there.
  • moreeco is still a very new site. They have just sign up 5 more retailers including love lula and good energy.

    I got my car insurance through Sheila's Wheels, and Quidco showed my £35 cashback, but the other day it got withdrawn as they said my enquiry had come from a different origin, when what actually happened was i'd used a price comparison site and clicked through to Sheila's Wheels from Quidco, not sure what order i did it in, but the cashback showed up on Quidco pretty quick and was then withdrawn 2 months later. I've raised an enquiry on it though. I have over £100 in my Quidco account and was just going to let it build up, but got bit nervous now that they might just disappear after reading some posts on here about other cashback sites, so have set it to pay into paypal.

    Just in case anyone wants to know, greasypalm and wepromiseto.co.uk appear to be the same company, perhaps with the same owners. They have exactly the same postal address. Look at their "Contact Us" page and the layout of the two sites.

    So if you have had problems with either, then you might not want to go to the other one looking for a better deal.

    Hope this helps...

    Yep, it's all explained in the main cashback article::money:

    Overall winner: Topcashback
    TopCashBack* is one of a number of sites paying out 100% of the cashback it receives. It’s top because the other 100% payers keep the first £5 you earn a year; it doesn’t.
    This, of course, raises the ‘how does it make any money?’ question. My assumption is it works in two ways; firstly because it’s likely to receive bonus payouts, which can’t be assigned to any individuals, when it hits sales target amounts of specific products. Secondly it's building a big, well visited, reputable website and that in itself accrues value.
    Yet just because it pays 100% doesn’t mean it always wins. Others may beat it because they include different suppliers or have negotiated themselves larger commissions.
    The other top payers

    It’s a close run thing between three other 100% payers, all of which keep the first £5 you earn each year. Two are sub-brands of long established cashback players, deliberately set up to react to the newer 100% payout model.
    • Cashbackkings. Reliable cashback player Rpoints set up Cashbackkings* as its reaction to the growth of 100% payout sites. If it follows its parent's operations procedures it should be a smooth and easy to use operation.
    • Quidco. The original 100% payer, Quidco, calls itself a cashback collective. Sadly there’s been much recent negative feedback due to logistical problems with payouts.
    • Wepromiseto. Set up by long-standing cashback site Greasypalm, WePromiseTo* pays well but tends to cover fewer retailers than the others.

    Hello

    I've just joined QUIDCO. Can anyone tell me if you can use discount codes on the sellers sites and still et your cashback? For example if I have a code for a 10% discount, can I sue it, and still get my cashback?

    Thanks

    Usually Quidco state if you use a voucher or promotional code from another third party source then cashback won't be paid.

    But saying that, HMV still tracks in Quidco and I used a £1 McDonalds voucher as well.

    I think it depends on the retailer and what type of promotional code you use.
  • Found a new cashback site, anyone interested email me below and I'll forward details.

    It also allows you to sign up friends and earn while they spend as well. Won't make you a millionaire, but should earn a few £££'s.
