Quidoco

Hi all sorry if this has been posted but i really am not sure how quidco works, do you have to click on the link on their site for say tesco or play to get to the website for you to get moneyback?
Is it simple to use??

Thanks

    That's it, yep. Make sure you are logged in first!

    Please remember after you have logged in and clicked on the site you want to visit, to turn around 3 times and repeat "I want cashback O Lord Quidco" this is very important, I find that a sacrifice guarantees the lord of cashback will listen to you more than clearing your cookies.The childrens gerbil will usually suffice.

    Ok will do the dance )) why deleate cookies? and do i need paypal or put in bank details? and if i buy something from tesco or somewhere does it come up on checkout something about quidco???

    Thanks
  • if you want your cash back, then you will need to input paypal or bank details.Bank details are better as paypal take too much.
    As its a cashback site the money saved isnt on the tesco/play site, its put into the quidco account after a few weeks/months.
    sounds complicated, but once its up and running its ok, you just login everynow and agin to check your earnings ( ie companies that have paid the cashback to quidco)
  • Hi,

    I wanted to give a warning for anyone new to or considering Quidco. NEVER rely on the cashback being honored. If purchasing something with a high percentage of the total value as cashback be careful. I'm currently having big problems with two big cashback values being declined. The issues are with Quidco themselves, not the merchants (as some might expect). :mad:

    Submitting enquiries (chasing up) about declined cashback payments becomes a chore.

    Also be warned you can only use Quidco to purchase things for oneself according to their 'terms'. This could be seen as another way for them to get more 'admin fees' because spouses, children and partners all have to have their own accounts.

    I know RPoints don't pay out as high a percentage as Quidco but I've never had a problem with it for purchases for myself and my partner (unlike Quidco) and there are no admin fees.

    I dont think Quidco ever guaranteed cashback its best to look at it as a bonus if you get it, R-points will match any other cashback sites percentage of cashback if you inform them of the higher rate

    I agree - always make sure you get the best deal possible and the cashback is a lovely bonus (although it is still a pain when it doesn't track but hey, I've found the majority do so good luck
