it still just looks a little too good to be true...

are there really no other catches?

[moogle]

just the waiting time i suppose. i still have £24 on my tracking list at quidco. says the turnaround time is 3 months average so
yea.. seems legit though and everyone else seems to use it and have no probs.

I've claimed £300 this year so its a good thing to use

Yep - Money for nothing (well except a little time perhaps!)

There are a few cash back sites around, well worth using

I don't bother with the others - too much junk. Quidco is clean and simple.

I've just had an eBuyer transaction "declined" (whatever that means, it also has the same amount in the "Received" column) and a sizeable memory order I placed recently with Crucial hasn't even appeared on it..... doesn't seem that great to me so far.

I thought that ebuyer dropped out of the Quidco scheme some time ago. Think the main one's left with them are Misco and Dabs for components.

I use quidco all the time. Most of the things i have claimed on have tracked so its pretty good. I was a member of ******* too but prefer quidco.

I've received over £100 in cashback from quidco in the last year. Any contracts, phone, insurance etc tend to have quite substancial payouts

Yep, another thumbs up for quidco here, and not just for PC stuff. I just claimed £40 'free' money by changing my British Gas 'Click Energy' tarif to a very slightly cheaper 'Click Energy' tarif.

Perfect. I did notice Ebuyer no longer pay cashback though, booo.

Yea my flatmate had an ebuyer thing on quidco declined, so I guess they must have backed out.

I've racked up £150 in a few months. If you go on money supermarket to find best insurance or utilities prices, and then see what cashback you can get from the cheapest on quidco.

Ended up getting annual home insurance for £30 after the quido.

Takes a while to get the cashback tho and quidco take out the first £5 you earn each year as an admin fee.

i love quidco too, all my mobiles phone lines gimme 35pounds per contract i sign

[userdefinable]

mobile phones wise i got a vodafone contract via phones4u for £40 a month, 12 month contract with a decent phone, but I get 100% of the line rental as cash back (just gotta remember to send the 4 forms back at the right time!). Totally forgot to check if quidco do anything with phones4u

I've had a fair bit of money from Quidco - no real catch, they make money on the £5 a year they charge. That's out of your earnings though, so you don't need to pay anything in advance.
