Louis Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Check out this guide on their website - http://www.quidco.com/about/ Basically, most big companies with online presence take part in what is known as Affiliate Marketing. This involves using 3rd party websites as Affiliates, essentially hosting ads for the original company or promoting it in some way. For this, the 3rd party site receives a fee - usually per new customer signed-up, lead generated etc What Quidco does is pull all these Affiliate links together in one place, and it passes all the Affiliate Income it receives directly on to the customer (minus a £5 annual fee) So taking play.com as an example: You might see a banner ad or link to play.com on some random website. You click on the link, and buy that CD you've been after. The random website will get paid for that - you get nothing Through Quidco, the 2% they would receive gets passed onto you directly Spend some time reading through the site and the blog, and you'll get the general idea. There's plenty of people to lend a hand on the Quidco thread - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...245938&page=51 It's a really simple and easy way to make a lot of money on the things you'd do anyway. Speaking for myself, I've made about £800 already this year and there's plenty of people who've made more. There's loads of sites on Quidco, so anything ou're going to buy online, check whether you can get cash back through Quidco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 obviously I havent received any money yet so I cant say its genuine (but if u say it is Louis then I believe it is) but no its not a pyramid scheme. You basically get cash rewards for spendng money at places you would have spent it anyway. I joined a couple of Bingo sites and had to deposit £10 and they gave me £30, and then I withdrew my £10 back again after a couple of games... and I insured my 2 cats which I was going to anyway and direct line will give me £17.50 for it. If you swap your home insuarance to Barclays you get £125! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I spend a fortune on Play.com aswell but Im always wary of things like this so keep us posted on how it goes and if it seems good I'll sign up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I always use it, it takes up to three weeks to receive payments but it's worth it. It's very good. They do take a fiver for using it though - although it soon pays for itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
