Quidco

Voy06 · 18 Oct 2006 at 22:36

I have seen reference to 'Quidco' on a few occasions within this forum. I decided to take a look at the various help topics to gain an understanding with the hopes of registering and earning cashback but to be honest I am a little stumped to how it all works.

For those of you who already use Quidco can you give a dummies guide to how it all works.

Thanks guys.

you visit retail sites thru quidco
said retail sites pay quidco for refering you to them
quidco pay you a percentage of that fee a few weeks later.

therefor, you get money off simply for using quidco. simple as that

I've not used it yet, but it is pretty well explained on the site, the way i see it is you go through the link on the quidco site to the site of your choice and it then tracks it..

I've made over £600 now in the past 12 months through them.

So even if you were getting 5% cash-back on all transactions after Quidco's fee, that would mean you've spent £12,000 online, in 12 months? Get real.

Not always 5%..... one of my friends signed up for a few credit cards through quidco, got up to £20 a pop. Easily made £50 out of nothing really.

Insurance and Banks often offer £50+ (some are up to £120) on new registrations.

I've had £35 in cashback so far since May, and I haven't used it religiously (probably could have got much more if I checked to see whether I could get cashback through quidco first of all).

Highly recommended though. Especially now that they can pay by BACS.

I love Quidco, got over £100 from them, signed up to betfair, was going to do it anyway but went through QC and got £25

1200 Merchants so there is always somthing you can buy via quidco.

Total £104.00 in 8 months.

Yeah I use if a fair bit. Not made a great deal yet. Got full assistance cover for green flag for £65 went through quidco for a £20 rebate so it ended up costing me £45.

Remember to clear you cache though if you have already visited the site your going to link too otherwise you can end up not getting the quidco referrral.

Never heard of Quidco before, im soon going to be buying a few Apple products to the value of £4000, If i sign up to Quidco would I be able to get 3% (£120) cashback? Seems too good to be true.

Nice one!

Think I might have to sign up to that. Cheers guys.

[edit - can't spell]

Yep

Apple is one of the most exciting and well-respected brands in the world thanks to its innovative products.

For genuine tracked transactions completed wholly online, you can earn:

3%

Please read the following before proceeding:

Commissions are calculated excluding VAT.

Please note: Although the vast majority of transactions are tracked successfully, the network currently responsible for this merchant has decided to only pay 50% for any successful enquiries on missing transactions. We have expressed our dissatisfaction to the network and are doing everything we can to improve this situation.

So if that 4K is ex VAT then yes you will.

One thing to bear in mind is that the cashback can take a few months to clear.

(For the record I use Quidco and think it's awesome)

Depends on what you are buying but some apple stuff is available from the boys in purple who offer 6% back on transactions completed online. Worse thinking about.
