Quidco help

After hearing some people say quidco is good, i decided to join. I did 3 offers o2 simcard, kiticat and also kelso. Now in my earnings it is saying currently not tracking any orders. Am i doing something wrong or does it take time to update, also is it correct it can take up to 3 months to receive the funds.?

I was only going to do the free offers on the site but i could be there a while.

Thanks for all the help.

    go back into quidco.

    if you look up each of those companies then on the right hand side of the screen you should get tracking and payment times. e.g below are the figures for o2 simcard

    Can anyone give me any tips on how to earn more money on quidco??
    On a mission
  • Hi there,

    In my opinion (!), the decent money on Quidco is made through changing major things, like your gas, electric, insurance, bank accounts etc.... To give you an example I've changed the following:

    Gas and electric - £80
    Life insurance - £80
    Cat insurance - £40
    House insurance - £70

    Plus, before I buy anything at all on the internet I always check if I can go through quidco first. I've earned almost £10 this week on a couple of orders from boots.com and also marks and spencers.

    There's also good money to be made through the gambling sites, ie you deposit £10 and they'll pay you £30, so £20 profit. Have a look through them to see which ones you might fancy.

    Good luck :)
    You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that :p

    Make sure you delete cookies every time you go to buy something through Quidco.

    Very important

    I always see this but I've been paid £336.70 this year through quidco and never deleted cookies before going through quidco.

    I think you'll only get a problem if you visit a site and then put something in the basket and then remember Quidco and click to the site again but through and the item is already in your basket so not tracked by quidco.

    I would agree i have been using quidco for nearly 2 years now and had regular payments and never once deleted cookies,

    if you want to see if something is tracked in quidco, you can do this.

    go to this link

    http://www.quidco.com/new-enquiry/

    then choose the company and it will then show you if you clicked it and you then choose the correct time and date for your enquiry and this is how you can tell if it is going to be tracked through quidco, it will also tell you when you can query with quidco.

    hope this is helpful.

    Quidco tracking works through them, but every site and its dog leaves cookies on your machine. If they conflict, your cashback can get awarded to someone else (usually some banner advertiser I guess), and quidco only pay what they receive.

    The best way is to use a separate browser entirely for quidco, and don't use it for anything else (eg I use safari). Aside from a few dodgy places like some gambling sites, pretty much everything else is guaranteed to track then (I've had 650 quid over the last year now).
