If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

If you've never used top cashback website Quidco before, keep reading. New users that sign up to it using our MSE Blagged link* will get an extra £17 cashback when spending £5 or more at one of the 5,000+ retailers it lists. To grab the extra cashback, you'll need to make a qualifying purchase by 11.59pm on 31 December 2024 OR before 10,000 people have signed up, whichever one comes first.
Before you get going, here are a few things you need to know...
You'll still receive the listed cashback rate for that retailer
So if you were planning to spend on something that you can get via Quidco, this deal's a no-brainer. For example, if you're new to both Quidco and Sainsbury's groceries click & collect service, and you spend £45 or more on an order, you'll get the £6.75 cashback being offered at the time of writing for spending that at Sainsbury's AND the extra £17 cashback, getting you £23.75 back altogether.
Not planning to spend? You can still get in on the deal
You can grab the £17 extra cashback simply by spending the minimum of £5 on an essential that you know you'll use at some point. For example, you can get a pack of 50 air fryer liners from Dunelm or 1.7kg of wild bird seed from Homebase for a fiver. And, if you can, avoid paying for delivery, as this doesn't count towards the £5 minimum spend and will eat into your cashback total – check that the retailer offers free click & collect and has a branch near you.
Note. Cashback's NEVER guaranteed till you receive it
As is usually the case with most cashback sites, it'll likely take at least three months for your purchase to be confirmed by the retailer or provider and for the cashback, including the extra £17, to become available for you to withdraw to your bank account.
Our mantra is that cashback should never be seen as a certainty, because there are things that can go wrong between when you make your purchase and it being confirmed, such as it not tracking correctly or the retailer you made it with going belly up. As such, try to think of it as a nice bonus rather than a sure thing.
For more info on avoiding disappointment, check out our 6 MAJOR cashback safety rules.
As you might expect, there are some exclusions
The extra £17 cashback isn't available via some retailers, providers, products and services, including those that come under energy, finance, insurance and telecoms. So before you buy anything, be sure to check the full list below under 'More info' to make sure your purchase is eligible for the extra cashback.
This deal can't be used alongside any other extra cashback offers Quidco has on, including its refer-a-friend scheme.
For the full list of rules, see the Quidco T&Cs* (click on 'Read terms & conditions' above 'Need to know more?'.)
And finally, for full disclosure...
Like MoneySavingExpert, Quidco is part of the MONY Group – until recently known as the MoneySupermarket Group (full details on this in our Editorial Code). Yet just as we wouldn't recommend MoneySupermarket over other price comparison sites unless it's best for MSE users, the same goes for Quidco and other cashback sites.
Our analysis is always based only on what the best deal is, and while this deal isn't as strong as some of those Quidco has offered newbies in the past – in August it was paying an extra £26 cashback, albeit only for about three weeks – we think getting £17 back by spending a fiver or more is still a nice little earner. -

Extra £26 cashback with £5+ spend via Quidco
For new sign-ups to Quidco. Purchases to be made by 31 August
ExpiredNewbies to cashback site Quidco who join through our MSE Blagged Quidco link* and spend £5 or more at one of 5,000+ retailers can get an extra £26 cashback (exclusions apply, see below).
To do so, make an eligible purchase by 11.59pm on Saturday 31 August OR before the remaining 7,500 memberships have been claimed, whichever one is hit first.
But before you get joining, here are a few things worth knowing...
You'll get the extra cashback on top of the rate being paid for that retailer
Which means that if you're already planning to spend on something, and it's something you can spend on via Quidco, this offer's a no-brainer. To give an example, if you've not used Quidco or ordered online from Waitrose before, and you spend between £40 and £99.99 in one go, you'll net both the £9 cashback on offer at the time of writing AND the extra £26 cashback, meaning you could get £35 back in total on a £40 spend.
Even if you've no spending planned, you can make this deal pay
Seize the day and the extra £26 cashback by spending the £5 minimum on an essential item or something else cheap that you know you'll find a use for at some point, thus avoiding unnecessary spending. When we checked, you could get a three-pack of tights from M&S or a set of three paintbrushes from Toolstation for a fiver via free click & collect at a nearby store.
Try to avoid paying for delivery, as it isn't included in the minimum spend and will eat up some of your extra cashback.Remember – cashback is NOT a certainty
When it comes to cashback sites, the MoneySavingExpert mantra is to think of it as a nice little extra rather than a sure-fire earner. That's because there's a small chance things won't go to plan between when you make your purchase and it being approved by the retailer or provider, which can take months (more on that in 'More info' below), such as your purchase not tracking correctly or the firm going into administration.
For full help on how to protect yourself, see our six MAJOR cashback safety rules.
As is usually the case, there are some exclusions
You won't get the extra £26 cashback with certain retailers, providers, products and services, in particular those in the energy, finance, gambling, insurance and telecoms categories. Before you do anything else, check 'More info' below for the full list of exclusions to make sure the purchase you're planning is eligible.
This deal can't be combined with any other Quidco extra cashback offers, including its 'Refer a Friend' bonus scheme.
For a full rundown of the rules, see the Quidco T&Cs* (click on 'Read terms & conditions' above the 'Need to know more?' heading).
IMPORTANT. Full disclosure...
As editorial independence and helping the consumer first is what MoneySavingExpert is all about, we want to be upfront and tell you that, like us, Quidco is part of the MONY Group (previously the MoneySupermarket Group) – there are full details on this in our editorial code. Yet we wouldn't recommmend Quidco over other cashback sites unless it's the best option for you, the same as we do with MoneySupermarket and other price comparison sites.
We always base our analysis on what the top deal is, and this one outstrips Quidco's previous £17 extra cashback offer by some distance, and also matches the bonus recently offered by its main rival Topcashback. So if you're new to Quidco, getting £26 back by spending as little as fiver seems like an open goal. -
Extra £26 cashback with £5+ spend via Quidco
Quidco newbies only. Purchases must be made by 9 June
ExpiredIf you're a MoneySaver and you've never used Quidco before, a) why not? and b) now's the time. That's because if you're a new user and sign up to the top cashback site using our MSE Blagged link*, you'll get an extra £26 cashback when you spend at least £5 at one of more than 5,000 retailers by 11.59pm on Sunday 9 June OR before 4,000 people have signed up, whichever's first. Here are a few things you should know...
You'll still get the standard cashback rate for that retailer
If you were planning on spending on something that you can get through Quidco anyway, it makes this deal a no-brainer. For example, if you're new to Quidco and new to Waitrose home delivery or click & collect, and you spend £100 on a shop, you'll get the £11.25 cashback currently being offered on spending that at Waitrose, as well as the extra £26 cashback, getting you £37.25 back in total.
Not planning on spending? You can still take advantage
By spending the minimum of £5 on something you know you'll use at some point in the future, you can still bag the bonus. For example, you can get a two-pack of wrapping paper from Argos or 1kg of wild bird seed from B&Q for a fiver. And to avoid paying for delivery, which doesn't count towards the £5 minimum spend and will eat into your cashback, check if the retailer offers free click & collect at a location near you.
Important. Cashback's never guaranteed till it's in your account
As is generally the case with cashback sites, it'll probably take a couple of months or more for your purchase to be confirmed and your cashback, including the extra £26, to be available (more on this below in 'More info').
We always say that you should never view cashback as a certainty, because things can go wrong during this time, such as your purchase not tracking properly or the retailer you purchased from going bust, so try to see it as a nice little bonus instead. For more on this, see our 6 MAJOR cashback safety rules.There are some exclusions
Some retailers, providers, products and services are excluded from this deal, including those that come under finance, insurance and telecoms, so before spending a penny be sure to check the full list below under 'More info'.
The deal can't be used in conjunction with any other Quidco bonus cashback offer, including its refer-a-friend scheme.
For full info on restrictions, see the Quidco T&Cs* (click 'Read terms & conditions' under point 5).And for full disclosure...
Quidco, like MoneySavingExpert, is part of the MONY Group, previously MoneySupermarket Group (more on this in our Editorial Code). Yet just as we don't favour MoneySupermarket over other price comparison sites, the same applies to Quidco and other cashback sites.
As always, our analysis is based solely on what the best deal is, and with Quidco boosting its bonus by a fiver on the one it offered last month, we think earning £26 by spending £5 makes MoneySaving sense.

Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link. For more details, read How this site is financed.
