Thespence Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I have noticed a few people mention them. What is the deal with them? How quick does the cash"get"back etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Can take over a month on some occasions, but it's piss easy to use and gives you a nice little discount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers 2J I am helping sort a lasses finances out at work & I already knew if she opened A & L current account she will get £100 but via Quidco it will get her a extra £45.

Dave Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 A little description would be nice. Instead of going directly to a website to buy something you log in to your Quidco account and go via a link on there. This registers you for cashback, which is sometimes a set amount and sometimes a percentage of the amount you spend. Either way, you eventually get paid it back. They take the first £5 you make back off you as a fee, but if you never make £5 in the first place it's free. It's particularly useful when signing up to contracts, such as new mobile phone deals or broadband etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I understand it from that is it works on a sort of points system? Sort of like paypal with points? Probably wrong but I'll have a look anyway.

Dave Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Eh? It works the way I've just described it mate. Say you buy something for £100 and go via Quidco that is offering 7% on purchases, you make £7 in cashback and eventually (can be months) they pay £7 into your bank account. Say you then buy into a contract and the Quidco is £90 for getting onto that contract, eventually they pay you £90 into your bank account. The only thing you don't get - assuming the cashback tracks correctly - is the first fiver you make, they take that as the fee for being a member.

Tooj Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Dave & 2J Are either you regular users of Quidco? Used it for a few years now mate. Made a nice sum back from it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I have always been on free broadband with SKY but they are going to start charging me from this month but looking at Quidco I could get broadband via them & with cashback + free months it would work out a £0.00. If you lads have been using it a while that will do for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Ha, sorry Dave, I was struggling to see how it could just be free money which is what my head thinks. What's in it for Quidco? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Ha, sorry Dave, I was struggling to see how it could just be free money which is what my head thinks. What's in it for Quidco? They get the fivers of course, and I presume they are paid something in return by the retailers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get the fivers of course, and I presume they are paid something in return by the retailers. The whole point is that they give you what they are paid by the retailers. AFAIK they only take the fivers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Might as well link it in this thread: - http://www.quidco.com/ Any questions people have about them are probably answered on their website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I use it canny regular. Insurance is great to get through it. I got £50 cashback when I got my iphone as well. Made £400 in the last couple of years after the fivers so it's better than noubt. Some people have been known to end up getting free or even getting paid to take home insurance through them as some of the deals pay you £100+. They make there money from the fivers and we get the money as companies basically use some of their advertising revenue to pay the cashback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 got 200 quid back over the last 10 months (buying house/car insurance/broadband etc) through them. Simple to use and well worth it. broadband ended up pretty much free Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
