£5 bonus when you join Quidco, the cashback website. Since joining, I’ve received almost £2,700 just for buying things I would have anyway!
I’ve had just over £1,000 and I thought that was good! Do you put everything through there?
I always check to see if a retailer is on there. Even if it’s just a few pence, it all adds up Changing mobile or broadband provider can be quite lucrative.
And credit cards, holidays, clothes shopping
I got loads when I moved and got my first place, but since then I’ve stuck with the same energy, broadband and Sky, so probably not helped myself by not moving around!
If you can negotiate a good deal each year, it’s not a bad idea staying with the same providers. That said, when you take into account potential cashback, it’s often beneficial to rotate every year or two.
The only company I stick with now is Octopus Energy, as (a) they are one of the cheapest providers and (b) I get enough back in referrals each year to practically half my energy costs
One piece of advice I would give to anyone though, is don’t always take the cashback into account, because it’s NOT guaranteed. Treat it as a bonus.
Tbf, only company that’s let me down previously is GoCompare. Others have often coughed up after I lodge a Missing Cashback claim (TCB).
Also, be sure to read each T&C of an offer, as some, like Very, will not pay cashback if you have used a discount code at checkout as well.
Signed up. Now just got to work out how it works. R-
Hmm, I can’t see any new referrals so I’ve just double-checked that link - my text link has the correct URL, but the omnibox that Discourse creates has changed the link!
Edit: I’ve removed the omnibox link - apologies if anyone has signed up and doesn’t get the bonus… if it’s any consolation, neither will I
