Quidco Daft

FunLovinCriminal

Hi all
I am new-ish to Quidco, and am thinking I may be getting obsessed.

I have stopped playing the lottery, and toyed with doing online bingo.

Is it worth joining Gala Bingo for example, playing £5, seeing if I win, and cashing in the £44 cashback? Is it really THAT simple or am I missing something?

Yep it is simple. Some sites will not pay cashback if you use the bonus. Compare it with TopCashback too to make the most of it.

Only negatives are
1) I've been declined cashback on 1 occasion for no apparent reason (BGO Bingo). Have 2 ongoing just now where the cashback hasn't tracked for some reason So there is a minimal risk there.

2)I did a free self credit check recently and all the sites I've used for this appear on it. Don't know if it actually matters but if you are looking for a mortgage etc. you need to keep it in mind.

It is simple yes but just make sure you don't spend a lot on the bingo site instead. Also as above, sometimes cashbacks can be declined.

Don't worry, it's only a soft search to check for ID and money laundering purposes. It doesn't affect your actual rating - this coming from a matched better who has just got her first mortgage

that's amazing, well done!! I'm assuming you use a different account for MB than your regular spending, wages etc? I started MB a few months ago and am hoping to use that money to either put down a large deposit on a house OR buy one outright by the time I'm 30 so I've got 6 years

Yeah, completely different account

Yes it is that simple as long as you consider that the cashback isnt guaranteed.


I would make sure that you compare quidco and topcashback for the best rates and keep a spreadsheet of the offers you have done with relevant log in details etc.

Make sure you read the t&cs about wagering requirements (WR) and as a general rule avoid bonuses as you will never work through the required WR.


The overall outlay should in theory outway the cashback to a reasonable amount, but ensure you withdraw any winnings you can no matter how small rather than get into the trap of rinsing small amounts as it all really does add up.


Also, be aware that cashback from these sites can often takes months, so dont expect a quick return.

Use an email address your not going to want to use as the volume of emails you will get moving forward is going to be huge.

I used to be a massive quidco fan, but my personal preference is topcashback at the moment. Just my tuppence worth.
