Hi All,

I know TopCashBack and Quidco have a standard offer going (previously £35) and I saw a thread from last year where they were paying £70) but now they have increased it to £80!

I'm a new user so not allowed to post links but I'm sure some of the more experienced forumites can oblige with the link.

A standard switch offer. As will all Quidco referrals make sure you delete your cookies first before following the Quidco link to apply.

For those forumites who aren't already very familiar with the account (only a few of you) the account gives 5% interest (on up to £2500) for 12 months if you do a standing order in and back out of 1k.

So about £178 after tax total return in a year. Then you can look to switch.

Offer expires in 4 days so realistically you need to already have a sacrificial account to apply in time. If you miss out I suspect that the offer will be reduced to £35 again and there's always the £50 refer a friend offer so not the end of the world but if you are looking to switch then now would be a great time to do it!

  • I've already got a Flex Direct account, can I open another to claim £80?

    You could try though the terms say something about switching to a main account.

    Not sure. I think you might get the £80 switching bonus but not the 5% interest as you only get it on one sole account so not worth it for me as I also have a FlexDirect already and so does my wife.

    but you could do it with a joint account as you can get the interest on a sole account and a joint account.

    Hi,

    It was showing £80 cashback yesterday. Went through the link and applied for Flexplus account. It has only tracked at £35 at the moment.

    Anyone else had this problem at all?
