    Re: soo, what is this "quidco" thing?

    Just come across this - is it really still the best one to use, TopCashBack do the same deals, but are free. They have sponsored adverts instead of charging you £5 per year...or am i missing something ?

    The charge with quidco isn't exactly direct, they deduct it from your savings, if you do not make more than £5 worth of savings in a year then you don't earn anything from quidco, if you earn £6 cashback in a year then you will get £1.
    No idea about any other website.

    Topcashback are by far the best in my eyes - 100% of the commission and no fees. They're the only one I've used in the last couple of years.

    I agree I prefer topcashback. No fees and I've never had a issue with them.

    I would still use quidco if I'm going to get more cashback from them (after fees).

    I use both depending on the deals available. Mostly just small savings but for insurance I got £100 cashback which was equivalent to 25% reduction.
