www.quidco.com, join up and pay your £5 yearly subscription from your
commission (ie only after you have earnt it). I have the 12 month £20 a
month vodafone contract that should pay me £100 commission. It's a long
wait though, usually 2-3 months and there is always the danger they won't
pay.

A very serious danger that they don't pay, in my experience.

Out of 7 purchases thus far only one has tracked and paid up.

I purchased some power tools online, pre-xmas from Homebase. Despite
providing the full order reference from the Homebase confirmation email,
quidco report that they have "declined" my claim. I have heard nothing from
'3' on a PAYG purchase.

Quidco is looking like a bit of a turkey from where I'm sitting, but I live
in hope.

Apologies if I'm saying something you already know, but it's always important
to clear the cookies (and close any open browser windows) for the retailer
before you follow the link from quidco. Most browsers will allow you to list
all your current cookies and search by name - so you can just delete the ones
that could cause problems with tracking and leave ones that are useful to you.
A retailer won't pay the commision to quidco if there is any doubt over which
link you followed to get to their site - and that is carried in the cookies
which is why it is important to clear them first before you initiate the
session in which you make your purchase.

I have actually started using topcashback.co.uk now anyway since the new
design for the quidco site seems to have removed a lot of useful information
compared to the old one. Also topcashback don't take an admin fee and most of
their rates are as good or better than quidco's.
