    Just thought i'd let you all know about www.quidco.com. Amazing site that gives you money back on whatever you buy. I've used them and they do work.

    In the last few months, I got around £50 back when i bought my Dell PC, £100 back when i took out my 3 mobile phone contract and £70 with my RAC car insurance. I always check Quidco before I buy something. You can save a lot.

    That's what I thought at first but it isn't.

    You don't give them any personal details or pay them anything, just a paypal e-mail address is needed so they can pay you. Thought i'd add a few screenshots to show that they do pay. And by the way, i am in no way affiliated with Quidco, just thought i'd help you guys save some cash. Don't forget to leave me rep if you save something :)

    Looks cool, though I wonder how exactly they are affiliated?

    Most sites have affiliates schemes... seems these guys join all of them and whatever commission they receive, they pass on back to customer and just take out £5 a year for themselves out of whatever commission they receive.

    If your unsure about trying, think of it this way, what have you got to lose. You still deal directly with the website you were going to (you just go through link in quidco making them the referrer so they receive commission). You don't pay Quidco a penny or supply any bank details. So if quidco give you money back via paypal, its a bonus, if they don't, then just forget about it.

    This is what there tracking for me so far that I haven't received payment for. If I get it (which I know I will), then :D but if i don't then I haven't lost anything because I was going to buy the stuff anyway.

    You *really* seem to be defending them a bit much to be unaffiliated :p

    And as I said, I was just wondering what they use - CJ, MB, Shareasale..?

    It only applies in the UK is that correct? I'd rather buy products in a well known online store with a mail in rebate.
