    I'd strongly suggest PM'ing Eager Learner for her daily click guide - it's very comprehensive and tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about clicking :D

    And Cazz has similar cashback totals to me - hey Cazz, we could go head to head...

    If anyone needs a hand getting into the cashback sites let me know (but only those MSER's who are serious and won't quit a few weeks in!). PM me your e-mail address for the cashback clicking guide xxx

    I haven't really got into the daily clicks thing so far (although I'm sure EagerLearner's guide will get me started!), but I absolutely LOVE Quidco! I'm up to about £500 cashback in just over a month.

    Best deals as mentioned previously are the gambling ones (so long as you're 100% sure you won't get hooked and be tempted to deposit more money!). They generally offer £20-£30 for a £10 deposit, plus you get the (very slight!) chance of winning with that deposit. Also look our for things like £35 to get an Egg card, £35 to change gas/elec to Scottish Power (who incidentally were the cheapest on Uswitch for me anyway!), £65 for taking Sky, £8.50 for a MBNA card, just for applying even if declined, £37 for a new phone contract that offers free phone and free line rental, several offers of over £100 for taking home/motor insurance, plus loads of bookies that you can use if you're getting into matched betting who pay quite a bit of cashback.

    Martin's latest email also had info about the AA in it - if you go through Quidco you can get a year's membership for £4.20 (29.20 with £25 cashback) - just bought for parents!

    I have never had any problems with Quidco - they're much better than GreasyPalm as they give you all the cashback - GP and most others just give 50%. Another good one is topcashback.com who also give 100% and have some different offers from Quidco. Received payment straight into the bank, but if you prefer they can send a chq or Paypal it.

    I have an account, and so does my hubby - a few of the retailers only allow one cashback purchase per household, but the majority that we have done have tracked in each account for us.

    Just remember to clear your cookies every time before you go onto Quidco. Otherwise the websites that you visit might find a cookie from somewhere else and refuse the cashback on the basis you had visited them before. How you do that depends on your browser, but in Internet Explorer 7 (the new one) you co to Tools> Internet Options> Browsing History: Delete> Delete Cookies> OK. I also delete the temp internet files and history - keeps the PC healthy!

    If you made applications for all the credit cards on quidco, are you likely to get the cashback from them?

    Hi all - I have PM'd out the clicking guide to anyone who has requested it - please check your junk folders just in case. REMEMBER: The daily clicks are only worth starting if you are going to persist with it and not expect gains within less than 12 weeks, this takes time to build up but anyone starting now could have some nice extra cash for Xmas x

    For clearing your Internet Cookies I recommend downloading a free program called CCleaner, CCleaner can clear all cookies, internet history etc. When i first run the program it cleared 256mb of used up space :p.

    It can also be run as a registry cleaner and also remove programs from windows (its amazing the amount of programs I have installed which dont show up in the Add / Remove Programs section in Windows).

    What I do is load IE and CClearner go to Cashback site do the clicks then run CCleaner, go to different cashback site then run CCleaner again.

    I have made CCleaner one of my most frequent used tools along with Ad-Aware and AVG, and best of all they are free :money:
    Pay Off 20K by 12/08 - Total so Far £500 / £19,500 left to go

    Lunch Log 08 - Started 07/01/08 - Spent £0 as of 02/02/08
    £10 a Day Feb - # 14 £261 /£290

    hey Cazz, we could go head to head...
    Heehee, we could! I've not been managing the clicks every single day, but I'm getting quicker at them now so it's less of a chore now at least.

    There's quite a bit of money to be had from the cashback sites and I just think if you've got the time and the patience to do it then, as EL says, it's money towards Christmas or birthdays! Money for nothing - bring it on!! :T

    Ooooh I'm around £1 behind you, must find something to click on worth a bit... hmm, just realised I should include my Quidco daily clicks in my Cashback total, rather than main Quidco total (which is mostly from purchases) - maybe that will do it :D I love a challenge, me ;)

    I have to say can't be bothered with clearing cookies and messing I am on so many competition log ons etc that it takes more time than the pennies are worth.

    Quidco is enough for me, I do ipoints too for hubbys christmas presents that is a standing comp we have, who can earn the most ipoints in a year and thats all we spend on each other.

    Also I am doing surveys daily and its a pain in the bum having to re-do passwords etc and I get far more in surveys than clicks!

    But Quidco definately rocks!
