Hey there, cashback newbie! 🎉 Ready to turn your everyday shopping into extra savings? You've come to the right place. Earning cashback with Quidco is super simple, and we're here to guide you every step of the way. Let's dive in and get you started!

💡 What is Cashback?

Imagine getting paid to shop! That's essentially what cashback is. When you shop online through Quidco, retailers give us commission for introducing you, and we share most of that right back with you as cashback. It's like a win-win for everyone. Cha-ching! 🤑

🧐 How Does Cashback Work?

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3:

Find Your Retailer: Search for your favorite retailers or products on Quidco.
Click and Shop: Click through to the retailer's website from our Quidco page and shop as usual.
Earn Cashback: Our system tracks your purchase using cookies (the little digital helpers, not the tasty kind!). The retailer confirms your purchase, and we pop the cashback into your account.

📈 Maximising Your Cashback

Think of Quidco as your smart shopping buddy for when you buy anything online - from clothing to gadgets, to insurance and holidays - search the retailer or category on Quidco. There's 1000s of retailers to choose from!

Here's how to make the most of it:

Explore Deals: Keep an eye out for flash cashback deals, seasonal bonuses, and boosted cashback offers.
Member Exclusives: Enjoy special offers just for Quidco members.
Upgrade to Quidco Premium: Unlock higher cashback rates, exclusive bonuses and boosts on selected retailers, and increased gift card payouts! If you shop regularly, Premium can significantly increase your savings.

Pro tip ✅

Download our mobile app, or install the Quidco browser extension so you never miss a cashback opportunity again.

📅 How long does cashback take?

Your cashback usually 'tracks' in your account within a few weeks, sometimes quicker - it depends on which retailer you made your purchase with. Average tracking times can be found on the retailer's Quidco page!

You can check the progress of your cashback on your Activity page. Here's a quick rundown of the statuses:

Tracked: We've registered your purchase, and cashback is pending the retailer's decision.
Confirmed: The retailer has approved your cashback, and we're waiting for the retailer to send us the funds.
Payable: Your cashback is ready for withdrawal!
Declined: The purchase couldn't be validated (usually due to changes or cancellations, but there are other reasons we detail in our declined cashback guide).

💷 Getting Your Cashback

Ready to cash in? Here's how:

Security Checks: New bank or PayPal details require a quick 48-hour security check. Some gift card types also have separate security checks.
Payment Time: Payments typically arrive within six working days.
