Advantages: Lots of merchants, easy to use, good savings

Disadvantages: Can take a while to receive monies, 5.00 annual charge

I recently came across this website having been casually browsing on forums for a few money saving ideas, the general opinion towards this site, was very positive, so I decided to sign up.

Quidco is a cashback website in which you will earn cashback on purchases you make, providing any given online retailer has signed up with Quidco. You can either use the search facilities to see if the retailer appears on the site, or alternatively, the website has listed the various retailers by category.

When a retailer appears on the website, you are provided with the details of the cashback offered by any given retailer by clicking on the link. To take advantage of the cashback offers, you will sign to sign up for a free account and log in in to website, while you are logged in, if you then access the retailers website through the link provided on quidco, any purchases you make will then be logged and recorded thus allowing a record of your cashback earnings.

While the signing up is free, you will pay what is essentially an administration fee of 5.00 a year. This is a flat rate and won't differ dependent upon buying activity. This simply means that come from the cashback you accumulate, 5.00 will be deducted, therefore if you don't earn at least this amount in cashback then no payment is deducted.

In terms of the payment process itself, while the tracking of payments is accurate and up to date, you may find that there is quite a length lead time between you requesting payment from a payment method you have allocated and actually receiving the monies. Therefore patience is the key word because you will receive it eventually.

Any cash back sites are always welcome and this is a very easy, smooth running one to use. At this time of year where spending is quite rampant, any money savings are welcome. Therefore it's well worth checking out if you haven't already done so. It is something I have not used for a while as I have been trying to cut back on purchases but my will is breaking.
Great site!

Summary: Excellent cash back site
