• I've copied Jo_b's informative post from the old thread
  I'm glad to see a new Quidco thread. I've been planning to do a FAQ for the start of a new thread to help people new to Quidco.
  Just going to bookmark this spot and make this a work in progress!
  What is a cashback site and how do they work?
  Read Martin's updated article which explains all about Cashback sites and how to make money from them HERE
  How do I join Quidco?
  Just register at www.quidco.com and complete your details including your email address and preferred payment method.
  Do Quidco provide any referral links or incentives?
  No Quidco don't have a referral scheme at all. They only deduct Ј5 in earnings from each member so don't pay any extra referral bonuses. People recommend Quidco genuinely without any benefit to themselves.
  How does the admin fee work?
  Quidco charge Ј5 annual fee which is deducted from the cashback that you receive. If you don't earn at least Ј5 then you don't pay anything at all. There are no upfront fees and Quidco don't take any additional commission from affiliate sites (unlike the majority of other cashback sites.)

  How do I get paid by Quidco?
  You can choose to get paid by BACS transfer directly into your bank account. This is completely secure and involves giving out your bank sort code and account number (which can all be found on a standard cheque!) There is no charge for BACS transfers and you can set your own minimum payment level at literally 0!
  Alternatively, you can choose to receive payments below Ј50 by Paypal. Quidco do not charge for this, but you may be subject to a withdrawal fee charged by Paypal (for withdrawing amounts below Ј50.) If you have a Premier Paypal account, you will also be charged an additional fee by Paypal to receive the payment.
  When will I get paid?
  Quidco make payments once every month, usually processed on the last working day of the month. These take around 3 days to reach your bank account. If you log into your Quidco account and click on 'My Earnings' and then click on each month, it will list all of your transactions through Quidco and will indicate what stage the payment is currently at. It will also indicate the month in which the payment is likely to be made.
  Does Quidco offer 'clickthroughs' or 'free points' like Pigsback?
  Quidco don't offer 'clickthroughs' as such but it is possible to earn cashback without spending any money.
  You can get paid small amounts to run searches for items on different sites. You don't actually have to make any purchases to get the cashback - just click through to an advertised site after running a search.
  You can go to the Kelkoo website, for example, via Quidco and search for any item. You just need to type in a keyword and press 'search'. The site will then bring up a list of items from different sites. You need to click through to one of the sites and you will get paid 10p just for searching. There is only one payment per person per day.
  There are similar 'daily clicks' available through High Street Web, Carsource and Shopping.com

• Hi
  I put in an enquiry on something which didnt track - it is now showing as added.
  Since then though i was paid out for the tansaction but the enquiry still shows as added. Should i contact them to advise as if it pays out again it may look fraudulent?
• Hi guys, i'm in the process of renewing my car insurance and thinking of going through Privilege as they have come out the cheapest and the cash back of Ј100 isn't bad. was just wanting to know what other people's experiences have been, does the money track to your account pretty quick once you take the policy out?
• Has everyone with BACS been paid this month ? Mine just says scheduled. Ive never had a problem before
• My sons is the same, no payment as yet as far as I know, I'll get back and confirm - mine has been paid though.

• does quidco match the cashback on other sites? I want to take out my insurance policy with prudential but the cashback is Ј75 on quidco but Ј90 on topcashback. I'd prefer to go through quidco.
• no they don't I'm afraid
• Hello all
  Anyone know if renewing your existing contract online with a mobile phone company would still track with Quidco?
  I'm due to renew my T-mobile soon, not sure if it tracks as a "new contract" or just extends the existing one.
• That's what i assume too... for Ј40 it's worth getting a "new" contract, then cancelling the old one and porting the number over less hassle if it works the other way but it's not really difficult.
• Quidco, any sign of Barclays paying up for the home insurance back in 2006? also Prudential after their tracking errors. I am gettignear bashed from my folks.
• I bought barclays house insurance last july via quidco and an Ј80 cashback. I still have not been paid. Anyone else in the same boat??
