Quidco newbies only. Purchases must be made by 30 June

If you're new to top cashback site Quidco, you can get an extra £17 cashback when you spend £5 or more online at one of the 1,000s of retailers and providers it lists. Simply sign up using our MSE Blagged link* and make a qualifying purchase by 11.59pm on 30 June 2025 OR before 10,000 people have signed up, whichever's first.

Before you head off, here are some things you should know...

You'll get the listed cashback rate as well as the bonus

Which makes this deal a no-brainer if you were planning to spend on something you can get via Quidco. For example, if you're new to both Quidco and Tesco grocery collection or delivery, and you spend £40 or more on an order, you'll get the £7.50 being offered at the time or writing for spending that at Tesco AND the extra £17 cashback, netting you £24.50 in total.

No spending planned? You can still take advantage

Get the extra £17 cashback by spending the minimum of £5 on something you know you'll use at some point in the future. For example, you can get 10L of multi-purpose compost from B&Q or a pack of 50 air fryer liners from Dunelm for a fiver. Check that the retailer you're buying from offers free click & collect and has a branch near you to avoid paying for delivery, as this doesn't count towards the minimum spend and will eat into your total cashback.

Important. Cashback is NEVER guaranteed

It can take three to six months for your qualifying purchase to be confirmed by the retailer or provider and for the cashback, including the extra £17, to be available to withdraw from your Quidco account.

Our mantra is that you should never see cashback as a certainty because things can go wrong between when you make your purchase and your purchase being confirmed, such as it not tracking correctly (see 'More info' below for what to do if that happens) or the company you spent with going into administration. So try to see is as a nice bonus rather than a sure thing.

For more on avoiding disappointment, read our 6 MAJOR cashback safety rules.

As ever, 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, gambling, insurance and telecoms. Before you spend anything, check the full list in the 'More info' section below to make sure your purchase is eligible for the extra cashback.

This deal can't be used in conjunction with any other extra cashback offer, including Quidco's Refer a Friend scheme.

And for full disclosure...

Like MoneySavingExpert, Quidco is part of the MONY Group, formerly known as the MoneySupermarket Group (full info on this in our Editorial Code). Yet just as we'd never recommend MoneySupermarket over other price comparison sites unless it's best for you, the same applies to Quidco and other cashback sites.

Our analysis is always based on what the best deal is, and nothing else. While this deal isn't as good as some of those Quidco has previously offered newbies – in January it offered £28 cashback, though only for about a week – we think getting £17 back by spending a fiver or more isn't to be sneezed at.

More info

You can't get the extra cashback on purchases from retailers and providers in these categories (as listed by Quidco):

Finance, Gambling (including Lottery and Bingo), Gas & Electricity, Insurance (including Quidco Compare) and Telecoms.

The following retailers and providers are also excluded from this deal:

All Bar One, Balance (now The Good Prep), BoohooMan, Browns, Casino Signup Offers, Catalink, Crunch, Daymade, eHarmony, Enterprise Car Club, Experian Boost, Experian Free Account, Free Spins Loopy, Free Spins Wizard, Giffgaff Sim, Gourmet Society, Great Magazines, JustPark, Kobo, Life Insurance Quote Compare, Little Bird, Lumin, Luxury Flooring & Furnishings, Match.com, Miller & Carter, Nicholson's, O2 free Sim, O'Neill's, Ourtime, Plum, Preloved, Quandoo, Quidco Compare, Raid: Shadow Legends, Readly, Sebogo, Simply Cook, Sizzling Pubs, Skin + Me, Skyscanner flights, Soldo, Stannp, Stonehouse Pizza & Carvery, The Good Prep, The Skills Network, Tide, Toby Carvery, TSB Spend & Save current account, TSB Spend & Save Plus current account, Uniform Tax Rebate, Vintage Inns, Vitl and Vodafone pay-as-you-go mobile.

How long does it take to get the cashback?

Quidco says that this mostly depends on the provider or retailer you purchase from to qualify for this deal, as it's down to them to confirm your transaction. It should appear as 'tracked' in your Quidco account within a few hours, but it can take up to seven days.

Confirmation "can take anywhere from a few days to a few months," according to Quidco. And it warns that "the whole process can take between three and six months but sometimes takes longer," so try to be patient.

For more info, see Quico's What happens when I make a purchase? and When will I get my cashback? pages.

What do you do if your qualifying purchase doesn't track?

Quidco says to give it at least 72 hours to show up in your account. If it doesn't you can raise a claim with Quidco so it can be tracked manually. You can do this by pressing the blue 'raise a claim' button in the 'activity' section of your Quidco account or going to the 'support' tab in the Quidco app.

Extra £28 cashback with £5+ spend via Quidco*

Quidco newbies only. Purchases must be made by 31 January

If you don't use cashback sites to save money when you shop online, there's rarely been a better time to start. Quidco, one of our top-pick cashback sites, is offering new users who sign up using our MSE Blagged link* an extra £28 cashback – when they spend £5 or more at one of the 5,000-odd brands (though some exclusions apply). Qualifying purchases must be made by 11.59pm on Friday 31 January 2025 OR before 5,000 people have signed up, whichever comes first.

Also, Quidco* has a 'Travel Sale Day' on Friday 31 January.

Some highlights include:

  • Jet2Holidays – up to £100 cashback

  • Virgin Experience Days – up to 27% cashback

  • Hotels.com – 20% cashback

  • Lastminute.com – up to 20% cashback

  • Expedia – up to 18% cashback

Important. Cashback's never guaranteed till you've got it

It will take at least a couple of months for your purchase to be confirmed and for your cashback, including the extra £28, to be available to withdraw (more on this in 'More Info').

At MSE we always say that you should never see cashback as a certainty, because things can go wrong during this time, such as purchases not tracking properly or companies collapsing, so try to think of it as a bonus. 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 of Quidco T&Cs*.

The deal can't be used in conjunction with any other Quidco bonus cashback offer, including its refer-a-friend scheme, and can only be used once per household.

For full info on restrictions, see the Quidco T&Cs* (click 'Read terms & conditions' under point 8).

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 the Blagged bonus by a couple of quid, making it the biggest yet, we think earning £28 by spending £5 makes MoneySaving sense.

More info

How long will it take to get the cashback?

Quidco says this is largely down to the retailer or provider you make your qualifying purchase from, as they're the ones who confirm transactions. Your purchase should show up in your account as 'tracked' within a few hours, but it can take around a week. According to Quidco, confirmation from retailers "can take anywhere from a few days to a few months" and "the whole process can take between 3-6 months but sometimes takes longer," so try to patient.

The extra £28 cashback should appear under 'bonus cashback' in your account, and be available to withdraw "within approximately one week" of your qualifying purchase being confirmed.

What if your qualifying purchase doesn't appear as 'tracked'?

Quidco recommends waiting at least 72 hours. If it still hasn't appeared, you can raise claim so it can be tracked manually. You can do this using the blue button in the activity section of your account, the pink support button in the bottom right-hand corner of the website or the 'Support' tab of the mobile app.

  • Some categories (as listed by Quidco) and some retailers are excluded from this deal – see 'More info' below for full details.



  • The double cashback rate should be displayed on each retailer's indvidual page on the Quidco site/app before you click through to make your purchase.

  • If you make a purchase during the double cashback period that fails to track, and have to make a missing cashback claim, Quidco says it will honour the double cashback rate. (See Quidco's cashback claims help.)



  • Quidco says double cashback will be confimed and available to withdraw in line with each retailers usual timeframe for approving purchases and paying cashback. (See Quidco's When will I get my cashback? page.)



  • For full disclosure... MoneySavingExpert and Quidco are both part of the MONY Group (more in our Editorial Code). Yet we don't favour it over other cashback sites – our analysis, as always, is based soley on what the best deal is.

Are you

Skint? Ask:

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.
