Quidco - Is it worth it?

if you go through to ebay from a cashback site and buy something you'll get a % of what you spend back.

£5 annual admin fee is taken away from what you earn.

Have a look at Topcashback. They don't charge a fee, and pay out similar amounts to Quidco.

Has anyone else found that Ebay is no longer listed with Quidco, I used to have it as a favourite but it's no longer there?

It seems to have disappeared and no mention on the blog - I must admit that I always thought it was strange that they were ever on Quidco. Still, it was good whilst it lasted!!

It depends, if you buy a lot of things online then yes it probably is, or if you have all the time in the world to sit around clicking for 4p a time lol.
For me it was'nt worth it at all, nothing tracked and even if it had would of only made £2 odd by the time they had taken their £5.

Hi
Joined Quidco last september and it has well been worth it.
I have made £311 since september - I have been paid out so far - £130.
I too have not done anything extra to get the money.
Swapped energy supplier -
House insurance
Car insurance
Ebay items, Books, White goods, dvd, games.

I agree waiting is a bit of a pain, but generally the wait has been around three months but i always seem to get what i signed up far...........
My theory is - WIN / WIN for everyone. If you are going to buy something any way, you get some money, quidco get some money, and the supplier gets some money. Everytime i purchase something quidco is something i always think about...so yeah a big thumbs up.

I don't think you have to buy a lot of things to benefit.
Just when you do buy always check to see if a Quidco retailer offers a good deal.
My house insurance was cheaper with a Quidco supplier (Co-op) than anywhere else-the £70 cashback was jam. The odd National express ticket, hotel (had cashbacks from Hilton and Travelodge) plus washing machine from Currys -bit of Christmas shopping at Debenhams , games and dvds and son's new pC had a 10% cashback plus an extra 10% Quidco discount code on top of the site discounts and cashback. I really couldn't have got a better deal for the spec elsewhere.
Sometimes it's a startling amount-sometimes it's pennies but it all adds up and is all "free money" so long as you shop wisely.

No, definitely not worth it for me as I only do/did the daily clicks and they rarely track.

I agree with Jazzy though - Topcashback's good for a few quid by just doing daily clicks.

Yes, I found this yesterday. I guess it wasn't profitable for eBay! Oh well!

I think its worth it as been registered with then for just over 2 years and have earnt £312 cashback and that is only buying things that i would generally and recently me and my mates went on holiday so I sorted their travel insurance through american expresss and got £6 cashback on each policy.

My only quibble with Quidco is that two big amounts of cashback have not tracked one was for £35 from my o2 contract and more recently the betfaif £50 cashback which i am still waiting to hear back from as they are investigating it. All my small amounts seem to track fine but the larger ones I have tracking problems with.

I think with Quidco if your actually going to purchase froma certain site then go through Quidco but dont bank on the cashback as sometime it does not track and you have to wait a minimum of 1 month for your cashback
