Cashback site - Quidco


The first cashback site I am going to talk about is Quidco, this was the first cashback site I discovered back in November 2007. Since then I have earned almost £300, just through doing my normal shopping and taking advantage of the 'no spend' offers. Quidco makes it money by taking a £5 yearly fee, you don't physically pay any thing, you don't have to enter any card details...they take the money out of your earnings, so if you sign up but then end up not using the site, you won't pay anything. The £5 is completely worth it.

The Good about Quidco.

* SureShop - most merchants are signed up to this, it is quidcos way of ensuring you get your cashback. SureShop merchants have basically agreed to deal with all cashback and enquiries within a timely manner.
* Competitions - Quidco often holds competitions on the blog. From simple leave a comment to enter ones, to more advanced ones such as the 'Christmas Cup' they recently held.
* Lots of Merchants, Best rates around, New merchants constantly being added.
* Easy to use interface

The Bad about Quidco.

* No comments section on the merchants pages - This is a basic feature on most cashback sites for users to leave comments about their experiences with merchants, but quidco doesn't have such a thing.
* No referral rewards - Most cashback sites offer a reward for referring new members, anything from points to £25! Quidco doesn't offer such a thing.
