    It's a website which gives you cashback on purchases and enquiries. So say you wanted to change your electricity supplier, click on a link via Quidco and you'd earn up to about £50 in cashback. Basically the companies give you the money that you've saved them on advertising costs.

    It's definitely worth joining, I changed my house insurance, opened a new bank account and changed my gas & leccy supplier along with a couple of other little things and managed to earn myself a cool £250!!

    Oh right, I will join and go and have a nosey.
    It sounds a bit like Mutualpoints (but sounds bit more useful).

    Thanks for the info

    Also everyday search 'kelkoo' and 'high street web' through Quidco then search on their websites, kelkoo pays 10p for a search (only 1 allowed per day) and high street web pay 8p (2 searches per day max). That's only 26p per day but £94.90 if you do it every day for a year :eek:

    Plus if you use ebay, search ebay through Quidco cos they pay cashback for your purchases :D

    It doesn't matter what I'm buying online now I always see if I can go through Quidco first!!

    It says '35% for winning a eBay auction. This amount is based on eBay revenue - not on the price you pay' - so don't have the faintest what they're talking about.

    I bought something for 50p plus 99p postage and have 27p tracked and 10p validated so far. All adds up :D

    I just searched ebay through quidco and signed in as usual, I've been ebaying for years so it wasn't a new account
