Question on quidco

[OpenToSuggestions]

I have just signed up with Quidco and understand the idea behind it.

How does quidco know that I have been on a site though?

Say I buy a CD off one of their cashback sites, how would quidco know this and then give me cashback

Thanks

Because you go to the site you buy from, via quidco, a referral cookie is then tracked until the purchase is complete.

So I must go via quidco to the website I make my purchase off and then the rest is automatic?
thanks for the quick reply

Yes you need to follow the link on the Quidco website to get the cashback, the rest as you say is automatic.

Quidco site leaves a cookie in the browser so when u go to a site via that page it knows what you purchase.

This is then confirmed by the seller who then allows quidco to pay you the cash.

Thanks for the replies.

I will use quidco a lot I think. May as well get paid for the stuff I buy anyway!

Nah - use top cash back - they have better rates, and no £5/year admin fee.

*cough* ->http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/greenlizard0 if you would be so kind!

I have a Quidco account, don't really use it though. I don't order enough stuff online, and I don't plan to let Quidco convince me I need to buy more...

This thread just reminded me i used topcashback a while back to buy a mobile internet contract. Had £100 waiting for me

Is there anything stopping me having an account with both websites and then just using whichever one is giving better cashback on what I am to buy on the day?

No, however Quidco charges the £5 annual fee, so it's up to you really.

I personally use TopCashBack. Do some free links every day on lunch then go through them to do my Christmas shopping.
