eBay doesn't pay out that well. It looks good on the surface but it's a percentage of the fees, so the more you pay for an item the smaller that percentage actually gets. An item at £19 netted me 40p, for example.

I'm aware of how it works, it's just that I buy a lot of stuff through Ebay so I'd be earning quite a bit if I actually put it all through Quidco.

I had £90 from them today, most of that was from changing my electricity/gas suppliers but I really don't see how I can get much more out of them. There seem to be some huge payouts going on but I'm not sure how.

Car/home insurance due soon? Those usually give a good payout. We got £120 from Natwest for our home & contents insurance.

Life insurance, car insurance and new mobile contracts are the main sources I've made decent amounts from. Each one I made at least £100 from and I needed them anyhow.
Sorting out the home insurance and my Mum's life insurance soon so that should give us a fair bit too.

Ah, fair enough. I must admit I forget to do it as well.

Just spotted that my Mylotto24 transaction has turned up. Don't know if the ticket kicked it or it just happened anyway, but in any event it's there.

Didn't win anything on Euromillions but I'll take that £10 profit, thanks.

I just signed up

a few questions

Do you guys all put in your bank details or just leave it as paypal details? Also taking advantage of Quidco is as easy as clicking on their link on the site rather than entering the shop's URL direct, correct?

Thanks

Bank. PayPal charge and the transactions are limited to £50.

As for clicking links, yes, pretty much, but keep an eye on your cookies - if you've ever clicked through on banner ads they may still get the commission. I usually clear (or at least remove a lot of) cookies first.

So people clear your cookies when planning to shop through Quidco?
