    Sign up to quidco here
    Once you've registered, log into your account before ordering anything online and click the link on their site to the site you want to order from (note: not all sites are on quidco, but it's good to check before hand, just in case it is there)
    After clicking the quidco link to the site you want to order from, complete the transaction as usual.
    Money you've earnt can be tracked on your quidco profile and can be withdrawn from there as well.
    The amount of cashback you earn varies from site to site, but can range from a percentage of your shopping back to lump sums for ordering specific things, for example £35 for taking out a pay monthly contract with O2 (correct at time of writing).
    You can withdraw your money by PayPal or BACS (PayPal up to £50 at a time)
    To withdraw your money you need to set up a minimum payout that is paid out to you each month, providing you have received enough for this to be paid (this includes ordering, having cashback tracked, validated and received into your account). Once this is done your money will automatically be paid out to you in the method you require, each month, providing there's enough money to do so.
    Once you have specified a payment method, the minimum payout will be £0.00 meaning you will be paid every month, regardless of how much. I recommend leaving your money to build up to pay minimal PayPal fees (I have yet to take any money out of quidco, at time of writing).
    The only charge for using quidco is a £5 annual admin fee. However, this is taken out of the first £5 you earn through quidco, so you don't need to pay anything to quidco at all, and if you don't earn anything in a year from quidco, you don't pay anything.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and Metroid Prime 3 Corruption are 2 for £30 in Gamestation.

EDIT- I'll go into Comet tomorrow and get any copies of NiGHTS and Harvest Moon that I see, and I've got any spare, I'll send them to people on here if you can't get them.


If you get either of those, let me know please, my local has none.


Will do.

I believe Tesco.com were also doing this for 39.97 with free delivery in case you prefer them. Remember to add 'Freedel' as a coupon.

Good deal.

I'm tempted to get one from Amazon and sell mine. Get HDMI and a bigger HDD.

Comet do collect in store, but that is only valid if there is stock nearby where you live.

Gag?


No, serious this time! Enough people ask about it, so it'll be good to have somewhere to refer them. And I ought to try it myself.

Cheers for the info Dark Dragon. I'll add it to the first page.

Next time you want to order something, stop, go to quidco, log in, click on the link on quidco's site to the site you want to order from (if they have one), then proceed as usual. Image

Thanks Rex, I'll check it out.

Regarding Quidco if it hasn't been mentioned, use IE if you use Firefox to buy, and delete all the cookies beforehand just to make sure (by using a different browser you dont delete all your day to day cookies).

This new name is too clinical, rinks. If you don't like the old name, then at least make it something interesting

I've explained why already. Twice. Here goes no.3:

The short name leaves space for me to add details of specific mega-bargains to the title, whenever they crop up, so that everybody can be alerted to them.

It's not clinical, it's functional.

It's a Monkey Island reference. I liked the old name, but the 'Partially-used' bit was misleading.

What about if you have it as SPUBB in general but change the title to 'Bargain Alert: Game X for £Y.99 at Z' whenever necessary?

I'm sorry, I didn't see that. It's a very good idea, actually.

Yea it was one of those decisions that was made by the threads original starter to change the name. It was a crap decision to change it, made even worse by the fact the poll he created didn't even have the option to leave it as it was.
