Quidco Opinions

The cashback site is branching out into paid surveys


Signed up today, filled in my profile, and was presented with one solitary survey. Which got me 5 pence.

  • I've been signed up to this since September 2013 and have only made £3.

    I try to log on most days and participate in any survey given to me. However, most of the surveys I take, I've failed the first few screening questions and as I've been ineligible for them, I don't get paid. Maybe I should pretend to be an 85 year old Grandmother?

    You might have more luck though!

    Done a couple but they're all fairly low amounts, will take years to reach £25

    Probably what they're banking on!
  • Been checking it for a few days now, I'm still on 5p. Going by the posts above, its not going to get much better.

    Several surveys since I last posted, now up to £12.60 so over half way to a pay out.
    I've noticed this past week all surveys had a minimum pay out of £0.05. Previously if you were screened out you didn't always get paid, perhaps it is now mandatory to be paid 5p regardless?

    I've had several where I've clicked through, answered a few questions but then been told they don't need me - but still got the 5p - so would seem the case, yes

    I've almost given up on Quidco; I think they've lost their mojo.

    I did enjoy the check-in game but that's gone. I've not totally given up and I still try and remember to make online purchases via there (or TCB), but there's usually nothing for me in the other offers and suchlike; I'd rather shop around and get a good price than get cashback on a mainstream offer.

    Not sure if I can get into their surveys.

    Agreed, I'm not impressed with Quidco anymore. I'm still waiting for cashback that was tracked months ago as well a claims that were opened ages ago. I only used Quidco because the cashback amount was higher for the specific retailer compared to TCB.
