How to become a Quidco Master

Ultimately, you need to learn how to think like one. There are some great ways to earn cashback faster, including ways to earn without spending money. I have outlined all of them below.

But, firstly, make sure you never miss out on cashback by installing the Cashback Reminder –install this in your web browser and it gives a prompt every time you are about to spend money on a website that offers cash back.

How to think like a master:

To become a Quidco master you first have to acknowledge the right way of thinking:

  • First and foremost, cashback is not an income source. It is a bonus. It is not guaranteed.
  • Most profitable Quidco users are those that save money with Quidco by checking the website before every online purchase.
  • Make sure you focus on the deal and not the cashback. Getting a good deal with good cashback is more rewarding than just shopping with any retailer to just get cash back.
  • Don’t buy things you don’t need: You could lose money if you get tempted to buy things that you would not otherwise buy.
  • It can get addictive. Only shop for what you need or were planning on shopping for, limit yourself.  
  • Track your cookies: Cashback sites track your visits by putting cookies (little bits of information that identify you) onto your computer. So when you make a purchase, make sure you click through from the cashback site and not from anywhere else. If you’re expecting a lot of cashback, clear your computer’s cookies first to ensure the cashback is tracked.
  • Claim your cashback that wasn’t successfully tracked: Always claim your cashback if you don’t see that it has been tracked within seven days. It’s easy to claim.
  • Download the phone application: Track your cashback faster and apply for high street deals.

Free ways to earn cashback

In certain cases, you do not need to spend to receive cashback. You get free cashback when you sign up for a free trial or join a website as a new member. A good example of this is that you can earn £1 for ordering a free SIM card.

Boost your returns with gift cards:

Get a top-up bonus when you withdraw your cash back in the form of gift cards. You will get a 1% increase (or 2% on Premium) balance top-up if you are claiming an Amazon voucher payment.

Boost cashback on the High Street

You get cashback in stores at over 5000 locations as well as online by linking your credit or debit card:

    • Just register credit or debit card with Quidco
    • Spend on it and your purchase is tracked
    • Once processed, the relevant amount is paid into your online account
    • It can take up to 21 days to track
    • In some cases, you may need to activate the deal on the website or app before you purchase anything

Quidco also offers a Highest Cashback Guarantee

Meaning that if you see any other UK cashback website offering a higher rate, Quidco will match it so that you do not miss out. This means that you do not need to sign up to many cashback websites, to find the best offers on each.

Tip: You have to purchase an item first before claiming the guarantee.

Click Snap: Save money by taking photos of your receipts.

Manufacturers can register their products then pay cash back when you buy them online or in store. Just upload a photo of your receipts using the Quidco app.

Refer Friends:

  • Earn £10 cashback every time you refer a friend
  • Once the friend earns £5, Quidco pays you £10
  • You can also share this £10 with the person you refer
  • For example, if you click on any of my Quidco referral links. Once you join and earn £5, half of my £10 referral payment will be sent to you
  • You will be instantly doubling your earnings. So make sure you click on my link below to start.
