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. To earn cashback on shopping, consumers visit then click through to the website of the retailer they need. The site will then track their visit as well as their spend. The retailer then pays the cashback site a commission for providing it with custom and it then pays the commission to the shopper in full as cashback. Money can be paid to a member’s bank account twice a month, and as long as the user has provided the site with their bank details, the money will be theirs to spend, save, or even bury.
