How I’ve Been Using Quidco To Make Money

I’m going to hold my hands up and admit I’ve been pretty rubbish when it comes to cashback sites in the past. I signed up to Top Cash Back a few years ago but barely ever used it. I’d generally want to make quick and easy purchases online and a lot of the time I’d be on my phone. But a few months ago I signed up to Quidco and have been getting a lot better. I’ve only made about £40 in cashback so far as we’ve not been spending that much. But that’s still £40 I wouldn’t have had. So it’s basically free money. Here are some tips on how I’ve been using Quidco to make money.

How you can use Quidco to make money

Quidco is a cashback site where you can make extra money when you buy things online. In a digital world we all make online purchases so this is a quick, easy and free way to make extra money.

Firstly you sign up for Quidco, and if you use my refer a friend code here then you’ll get a £10 bonus. You usually get your bonus after your first cashback sale. Then you just log in, search for the retailer you’re going to buy from and once you’ve made the decision click ‘Get cashback’. You’ll then be redirected to the retailer’s page which will look the same as normal to make your purchase. A ‘cookie’ is added to your browser so Quidco can track what you buy and let the retailer know to pay your cashback. Quidco themselves make a small commission and then pass some of that along to you as cashback. So it’s that easy to use Quidco to make money.

The Quidco Chrome plugin

Quidco have their own Chrome plugin which is a great way to utilise Quidco to make money online. Once installed you can click it while you’re online to search for cashback deals. Then when you’re on Google searching for a product Quidco will show the different cashback amounts for retailers. As if the purchase price is the same you may as well buy from the retailer offering the most cashback. Especially if it’s a bigger purchase like technology or kitchen appliances. For me, this has been the game-changer. Even just seeing the Quidco logo on my browser reminds me to use it.

Use Quidco to make money on your instore food shop

A bit like the apps like Shopmium and Checkout Smart, Quidco offer cashback on your food shop through Click Snap. All you need to do is browse the deals and if you buy any from the participating supermarket you’ll be able to claim the cashback. All you need to do is share an image of your receipt and Quidco will review it. As soon as your purchase has been confirmed your cashback is paid into your account.

I’ve not yet used this option through Quidco but it’s something I’m going to use going forward.

What we’re planning on using Quidco for going forward

As we’re going to be moving very soon we want to utilise Quidco to make money on loads of house things. For example, we’re going to be buying all new kitchen appliances and will be spending a lot. So we’ll aim to buy all of this online using Quidco. Then when we buy any furniture we may need we’ll get this through Quidco as well as we’ll need quite a few items, even if we don’t buy them straight away.

But you can also get cashback on things from Screwfix, B&Q, Wickes and so many more. So materials and items we may need for the house can be bought through Cashback. Plus there are loads more like flights, holidays etc. One regret I have is not getting our Sandals holiday online with cashback, but I’m trying not to think about how much we’d have gotten.
