Quidco - Is it worth it?

Options
Hi,

I have been registered with them for a while now. I have only accumulated a few pounds so far and was asking myself whether it was worth it. I don't really buy a lot online, so no cashback. Any comments are much appreciated.

Sorry if posted in the wrong place.

Thanks.

    I've earned £612 from Quidco in the past two year.....so yes, it's been worth it.

    Hi, yes been worth it for me. Havent done anything that I wouldnt have done without Quidco and still made over £100 in last 8mths. Getting cashback on things like ebay soon adds up. Been worth the £5 admin charge for me.
    :j Survey sites are boring but points add up if you persist with it - Great way to save up for xmas! Quidco is brill, watching the money pile up. Every penny counts !! :T

    Better odds on getting paid through buying tickets in the Nigerian Lottery then buying something, following the rules and expecting to get paid out by Quidco !

    I joined Quidco in December last year and have had £130 already, that's from buying a cooker, some car insurance, a few bingo signups and all the free money offers. I was paid the £50 Betfair from the Grand National last week, and I have yet to open a ticket on unpaid cashback.

    With sites like these, if you treat it as a bonus not a guarantee, you're rarely disappointed. I have had over £1000 from Pigsback/Quidco/Greasypalm in the last 2 years, so I think that's good, for nothing.
  • If you're prepared to take the time do do the clicks then of course its worth it.

    I've got a balance of £88 on quidco at the moment. i've switched energy suppliers, taken insurance, bought a couple of things and done daily clicks.

    You can get £0.10 a day on searches on quidco.

    If you've got any time spare in the day whats the harm of clicking and getting paid for it :D I've had over £110 from pigsback and not bought a thing.
  • I just joined Quidco in Jan 08, I only buy the things I need, have recently had home ins, broadband set up etc and so far I've received £30 and have £60 on the way, so I see it as worth it. I wouldn't buy just for the sake of getting cash back but I thin if you do any online transactions through Quidco ( where cashback is available) then yes it is worth it - free money
    Busy mum of 3, so if my posts don't make sense or ask a silly question be patient:rotfl:

    Of course it is worth it - it is no problem to use and it earns you money!

    It is amazing for things like home and car insurance and I have had several £100 cashbacks from these. In all I have had around £600 back in 2-3 years!
    To infinity and beyond!

    Can you please explain the bit about Ebay and what the £5 admin charge is? :confused:

    Thanks.

    How do you do searches? And where do you find daily clicks? Are they like clickthroughs on Pigsback? :confused:
