    I only just joined Quidco and ordered something through it, is that the only way you get the money back? With pigsback you do 'click' throughs and get points. Is there anything like that on Quidco?

    Hi
    Quido the same, just takes some routing, I use

    Shopping.com
    Kellko
    The high street web

    Just log them under favourites,

    Also worth putting ebay on favourites, if you buy through the quido link you get 35% of the listing price of the item, when you buy.

    I'd like to join too - I've covered every birthday up till the end of May with a spend of £7 (they're recycled Christmas gifts and the emergency gift I turned out not to need, which I suppose would technically make them £0 as I spent this before the challenge started), and have £15 in book tokens and £10 in Boots vouchers still to spend.
    Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76
    Three gifts left to buy
  • Wanting to join this one too, please :)

    I lost it this Christmas and as a result managed to gift myself with a credit card bill which I will be paying off for most of 2008 :(

    I had promised myself that next Christmas I wouldn't allow myself to do this again, and what better way than to be organised early in the year, get pressies cheap in the sales and when I see items reduced throughout the year and then try to make the money up during the year with surveys, click throughs and ebay?

    Thanks for the brilliant idea OP, and count me in :)
  • arrrgghhhh I forgot to list on ebay 10p listing day yesterday :(
    Hope everyone else rememebered
