UK's Largest Cashback Site Quidco.com Helps 1.6 Million Members Earn Cash Back

In Q2 of this year, UK households spent £227 billion.  £12.4 billion alone was spent on clothing and if this had all been bought through a cashback site, Britons would have earned almost £1 billion back in cash. But unfortunately for millions of British households, cashback sites are still very much a shopping secret.
 
Quidco.com, the UK’s largest cashback site, pays its 1.6million members money back whenever they click through its site and shop at any of 3,000 retailers. This means that clothing, gadgets, groceries, electronics and homeware are as much as 10% cheaper and members end their year a couple of hundred pounds better off. Significant amounts of cashback are also rewarded to members who take out new mobile, TV & internet, insurance and utility contracts through Quidco. 

Quidco members can even earn cashback on their holidays. The flights, the hotel, the car hire, the car parking, the travel insurance, the currency and even the luggage and sun tan lotion can be bought with cashback.
