    I just had the most bizarre experience.....I got a phone call as a result of a blog post i wrote a few years ago from someone who set up a new internet business a few months ago and they basically asked me if i would be interested in a partnership!! Obviously there are things i need to look into, however it does seem to be legitimate. Also i hold a lot of knowledge and contacts relevant to the business and so it makes sense for me to be involved. What an unexpected result from simply writing a blog post lol!

    USA1, it was for Valued Opinions (I only get an email from then... maybe once a week?) so I was rather miffed. Getting over it though. Found my log in details for a couple other places I forgot to check. So my money might be on the up!

    SpyderBryte, worth an email to them, to say you spent so long on the questionnaire and to be screened out so far in, is not on.... they may give you some points to compensate. If you don't ask, you don't get.

    Personally I prefer Topcashback, but I know others that rave about Quidco! I find Tcb have better offers & they'll match Quidco if they have a higher rate (you have to claim but I've always been successful). Quidco, for me, seems to take forever plus they take £5 a year! PM me if you're interested in a referral!

    Nothing to add for me at mo! I'm busy cleaning today (yuk!) but taking a lunch break & having a catch up here!

    Anyone who does freepostcode lottery & wonders if anyone actually wins..... I did!!! It was last month so can't count it but just thought I'd share.... There's always hope! And they paid super quick!

    Keep going everyone! This month is flying by!

    well done on your Postcode win.

    Quidco have 2 tiers now. You can join for free and get the same mostly benefits, ie checkins, and same rates of cashback etc, for free, without paying the £5 a year.

    I prefer TCB too, but I have been doing pretty well out of Quidco this year. They have a current offer expiring tomorrow, you need to log into your account to check your offer, but you either have to make some purchases and spend £4 or £5, and you get £10 back from them for using faster paying providers. So you pay out £4, earn £10 and also earn cashback on the items you bought.

    Check your account. This is only available to those who pay the £5 fee a year.

    I like the checkins free money if you have a smartphone that allows you to download the quidco app.

    And they don't take you £5 out of the check ins, it is all yours :)

    Plus they do the snap save thing.

    So both cashback sides have pros and cons.

    Me personally would sign upto both, no harm done.

    My number was on the blog as a contact. I will def look into contracts etc and be very careful about it all. I haven't decided to do it yet but i think it is worth checking out at least.

    I will be back later, to update 2nd post with challengers, do some replies and set the mini challenges for this month.

    Quite timely seeing as people are asking about things I was going to suggest.

    yes, definitely worth investigating :D but make sure if you do sign, it works in your favour, that you don't get ripped off for anything ;)

    good luck whatever you decide to do. You are really coming into your own this year :) wonder if that man you have needs to be lent out to some of us.... so the good luck can rub off on us....:D
