The Ultimate Beginners’ Guide to Quidco to Save Money NOW

If you’re not already using Quidco, you should be!  This beginners’ guide will show you how to use Quidco and make money. There’s not one person reading this who couldn’t make a few pounds from it so read on.

1. What is this Quidco?

Quidco is a cashback website. The places you are buying from pay Quidco to encourage you to spend your money with them rather than their competitors. Quidco take this money and pass (at least of some of) it on to you.

 

2. What does this actually mean for me?

You can get some money back for the shopping you do, both online and in store. Essentially this is a bit of your money back in your pocket.

 

3. How do I sign up?

Follow this link.  (Signing up through this link will give you an extra £10 cashback!) Create an account.  You will need to enter a few details including bank details. Don’t worry about this. They are NOT going to take money from you. They are going to give you the money.

 

4. Free account or premium account?

Technically you have to pay for neither. The premium account will take your first £5 of cashback a year but in return, you get your money a bit quicker so I think it’s worth it. If you’re nervous though go for the free one and you can always upgrade later.

 

5. How do I start making money?

Next time you want to buy something online, GO TO QUIDCO FIRST. Search for the retailer you were going buy from. For example, let’s say you are about to buy a new laptop from Currys PC World. Type that in. They’ll pop up and show you what sort of percentage you can expect to get back. There will also be a link saying “Get Cashback.” Click that link and it will take you to the Currys PC World website and you finish your purchase like normal. At some point in the next couple of days, you’ll have some tracked cashback showing on your Quidco account.

 

6. When do I get the money though?

Now that varies depending on what you are buying and who you are buying it from. Most retailers will “track” your cashback fairly quickly (usually within 72 hours). However, actually getting the money takes a bit longer.

I’ve had cashback confirmed (ready for me to withdraw) in anything from 1 day to 7 months, so don’t go getting excited straight away. But by the time it shows up I’ve usually forgotten about it so it makes a pleasant surprise.

 

A word of caution!

Getting cashback is NOT guaranteed! Quidco do their best but state that receiving cashback through them is not a certainty. Therefore it is prudent not to make decision based on the cashback you might received.

Do your research to find the item/service you want at the best price FIRST, then go to Quidco to see if you can make further savings.

Well that’s it really! If you check Quidco every time you shop you’ll quick be putting those pennies back in your pocket.

Go sign up here. (To make sure you get that extra £10!!)
