I rarely buy anything online (lack of money), I use quidco for the daily cashback such as Kelkoo, Carsource and High Street Shopper and it soon adds up.

Yesterday I got some contents insurance from Natwest via Quidco and shoud get£60 cashback so I'm pleased with that.

There are a lot of cashback sites, if you want a list or some help let me know.

I don't spend much either, since August, have recieved £92,(£34 paid out today) am waiting on £70 cashback from home insurance!

I joined in August 07, just as we were moving house. Me & mrs GunJack have had just under £400 from house insurances, new sky+, and xmas shopping

Looking to change energy suppliers also for some more cb !!

Just don't fall into the trap of buying stuff you don't need just for the cashback. Also, do your homework and make sure what you do buy is cheapest with the cb, or there's no point...

I don't do much shopping on-line (some dvds and cds near Xmas), but bought our car, house structure, & contents insurances through Quidco (after using Martin's search tips).
I also applied for a credit card (used it once then cancelled) and have done a few daily clicks. Since Jume Quidco have paid me £142, which I think is amazing!

I think Quidco could be fine even if you don't go around buying a lot - but if you HAVE to have car insurance, home insurance etc its worth using Quidco then. BUT I used it on Dec 6th for Breakdown Insurance which I would have bought anyway - just today that cashback - £20 - has been DECLINED!!! I have bought the insurance from Green Flag and they have taken the first direct debit from my bank, and I have a policy number. I have emailed Quidco about it but their automatic reply says they will keep my query 'on ice' for two weeks in case anything changes! I have already waited almost a month and now I have to wait two weeks to see if I can get the 'decline' taken off! I feel ripped off by this. Has anyone else had cashback declined for no apparent reason?

TopCashBack also gives 100% cashback but doesn't charge you an annual fee. You should be aware that not all cash back is paid all of the time.

It happens all the time. The Quidco lovers in here often say "Cash back is not a right, treat it as a bonus if you get it".

Me on the other hand, and I'm talking about all cash back sites here, think "did the company not pay the money, or did the cashback site get the money and are not passing it on to me"

On the referrals board, a while ago, someone didn't get paid from barclays via a cashback site. So in the end they rang Barclays, and Barclays sent them a cheque. When they mentioned this in the forum the cashback site came on and said something like "If you don't get your cash back from us please don't contact the retailer direct as this will just confuse the matter"

I couldn't help but think "Why don't they want you to contact the retailer, do they not want you to hear what the retailer says?"

OK, thanks for that - I'll try ringing Green Flag. I 'built in' the cashback to my price comparisons, so without the cashback they are not the best value. As I'm paying by monthly direct debit I'll tell them when I phone that without the cashback I will just cancel the policy and buy a cheaper one elsewhere.

So it seems we could waste a lot of time on the internet on the cashback sites and then not get any payout at all!
