    Yip clear cookies before u apply for anything via a cashback site. ;)[/quote]

    Hi Can you tell me why it is best to do this please. I am only a member of pigsback and quidco at the moment and have used the same email address. Do you think its best to use a different e mail address. Also if anyone has a database they use to keep track of all there cashback site activities, I would be grateful if anyone would be willing to email me a copy. I have tried to make one of my own but could be doing with some help :beer:

    Just a little question about HSBC.

    I would like an account seperate from any other for my internet money in and out. E.g - Play.com, ISP, Icesave banking, etc...

    Are there any reasons why i would be rejected for there basic bank account? I would put about £15-£20 in each month.

    I went to do it before but it asks about my income, i don't currently have one, by not having one would it affect my chances?

    Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, but thank you for reading.

    People have posted to say that HSBC have turned them down for the E-Saver ( savings account ) :eek:

    So they do a credit check even for savings accounts :eek:

    Thats all I can say. ;)

    Hi Can you tell me why it is best to do this please.
    Because cashback websites use cookies to track which cashback referral sites you've visited. Sometimes if you've visited the site you're interested in earning cashback for before you go to it via the cashback website, the site will put it's own cookies on your machine which can override the cashback cookies and so your visit via quidco or w/e won't track properly.

    Cookies are just small files that your web browser stores on your computer that contain information about sites that you visit. Cookies are written at the request of a website and generally they're used to track bits of information about your browsing session (like say the last time you visited the site).

    I am only a member of pigsback and quidco at the moment and have used the same email address. Do you think its best to use a different e mail address.
    If you're going to be visiting the same referral site to try and get two lots of cashback then it would be best to use two unique email addresses, one for each of the two cashback sites quidco and pigsback. Note for some cashback bonuses where you have to enter you real name/address (ie anywhere really where you need to submit a credit/debit card), you probably won't be able to claim more than once for each cashback offer.
    Also if anyone has a database they use to keep track of all there cashback site activities, I would be grateful if anyone would be willing to email me a copy. I have tried to make one of my own but could be doing with some help :beer:
    I have a spreadsheet I've been using to keep track of the 'free money' quidco offers but it's not complete yet. I'm going through the list of free offers on the first page of this thread, visiting the quidco page for each item and then copying all the relevant info from that page. This is taking some time even with some spreadsheet magic (macros) :(

    EDIT: Just had a brainwave whilst writing this reply - Google Docs allows you to share spreadsheets publicly and also more importantly allows you to let people add their own entries to the spreadsheet using an online form. This way people can add their own Quidco 'free money' offers as and when they find them.

    There is one caveat - you need to have a Google login to view the spreadsheet. Google logins are free though (goto http://www.google.com/ and click 'sign in', then follow the instructions to sign up for a new account).

    Once you've got a google account, you can view the spreadsheet online here:

    Spreadsheet with all 'free money' quidco offers

    You can also copy the spreadsheet and edit it to your hearts content if you've got a google login.

    If you don't have a Google login but want to see the spreadsheet anyway:

    Publicly visible Quidco Free Money offers spreadsheet in HTML format (requires no Google login)

    The coolest part - to add new Quidco 'Free Money' entries to the spreadsheet, fill out the form here:

    Add your own quidco 'Free Money offer to the spreadsheet

    (or click on the 'Go to live form' link at the top of the spreadsheet)

    Just really starting out with this, if there's enough demand for it I might carry on updating it/maintaining it, etc. Suspect there might not be enough take up though since it requires a google login and also it could get very tedious to monitor/maintain after a while, would be better to have a bespoke system written in PHP or similar, but don't really have the inclination to do that to be honest.

    Would be very useful though to have a central db of all the 'free money' offers available via Quidco along with other info such as how easy it is to get the cashback and whether you require a credit/debit card to get the cashback - especially if everyone can contribute to it to keep it up to date with the latest 'free money' offers. Saves having to trawl through a thread like this one where the list of free money offers isn't updated that often.

    I suppose this kind of thing really needs it's own thread but to be honest I'm not sure if I can dedicate enough time to this! Hence I'm slipping the idea in on a thread that's about Quidco 'free money' offers just to see what ppl think... :)

  • hello!

    I applied for the HSBC a/c; so finger crossed it tracks (and I get accepted!)
    I applied because I really want to have a separate AC for all the 'free money' cashbacks I get, so I can really look at it as extra pot of money. If I put it into my normal AC i'd just spend it probably.

    Thanks so much for that spreadsheet, really helpful!

    Anyone know where to find out about new cashbacks on quidco etc. ??
