    Hi Bubby - ok I'm no expert here on quidco.
    But can say I've had about 40quid back since april - so I think it's worth it.

    1. sign-up + select payment terms (when and how much you should be paid)

    2. To make purchases, sign-in to quidco
    3. select merchant
    4. use quidco link to click through to store
    5. pay for goods on-line
    6. check back in quidco after 24-48 hours and transaction should be tracked
    7. wait for confirmation and payment to an allocated bank account - depending on merchants can be between 1-3 months.
    8. Some people say clear cookies before making transaction - but I rarely bother and not missed any so far.
    9. Once you are paid £5 in a year by quidco merchants - quidco take that £5 as admin. The rest is your cashback to keep.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers

    I dont think you have anything to lose but a few quid or more to gain.

  • There are ways to get money for very little effort, but you need to be on the ball & read the quidco thread.

    Some of the offers come and go in a few days. The other way is what is known as daily clicks. Again read the quidco thread for a better explanation.

    Quidco is worth doing,so far this year I've had over £165 back.

    As for geting your money, money is generally paid at the end of the month. You don't request it, but you can set limits on amounts going into your account (although I thing there is a limit set on paypal.)

    To have a rough idea what you're going to be paid when, goto transactions &click on the month down the side & it will give you payment months.

  • It was worth it for me. I have had £160 back just for buying my home and car insurance this year, also about another £10 for buying the odd thing and clicking on kelkoo

  • I've been with quidco for over a year and have received £486 cashback ! I always do my insurance through them (and my mums), switch electricity suppliers, buy things, etc

    I get mine paid into my bank account so there are no fees (unlike paypal) - just the standard £5 admin once a year. Quidco is fab
  • so you dont get that much for actual free (as in without buying anything???

    BubbyB its worth it.
    I have switched house insurance, car insurance, life insurance RAC etc and bought various stuff via quidco and recieved approx £300 back from them this year.;)
  • It's definitely worth it. I across it in August and have earned about £120 so far. This has mainly been through changing car insurers and electricity supplier. I also check to see if I can get a discount when buying something online.
    There are a few freebies around - £6 for signing up for 2 months' free cover with Experian springs to mind.
    Is it worth it? Definitely!
