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 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 – its biggest Blagged bonus yet – 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 Tuesday 31 December 2024 OR before 5,000 people have signed up, whichever comes first.
Before you get cracking, here are a few need-to-knows...You still get the going cashback rate for that brand
If you were planning on spending on something, and you can get that something through Quidco, it makes this deal a cast-iron no-brainer. For example, if you're new to both Quidco and to Waitrose home delivery, and you spend at least £40, you'll get the £8 cashback Quidco currently offeres on spending that at Waitrose AND the extra £28 cashback, so you'd get a total of £36 back. Not to be sniffed at.
No spending planned? Not a problem
By spending the £5 minimum on something you'll definitely use at some point, you can still bag the extra cashback. For example, you can get a three rolls of Santa wrapping paper from Argos or a winter warmer suet cake for wild birds from B&Q for a fiver. Delivery costs don't count towards the £5 minimum spend and will eat into your cashback, so check if the retailer offers free click & collect at a store nearby before you spend.
Important. Cashback's never guaranteed till you've got itIt 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 collpasing, 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 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, and can only be used once per household.
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 the Blagged bonus by a couple of quid, making it the biggest yet, we think earning £28 by spending £5 makes MoneySaving sense.

Black Friday cashback rates from Topcashback & Quidco
You could max your savings going via cashback sites
ExpiredThe two big cashback sites – Topcashback* and Quidco* – are offering bonus cashback on a range of retailers, most of which currently have Black Friday sales on. By going through to the retailer via a cashback site before you purchase means you could effectively get even more of a discount on your items – though you will have to wait a while to get your cashback.
You shouldn't choose where to shop based on cashback alone, as it's never 100% guaranteed, so always go for the best price on the item you're after, and see any cashback as an extra bonus. See our Top cashback sites guide for full info on how they work.
Below, we've picked 18 popular retailers and checked the rates offered for each at Topcashback and Quidco at 3pm on Friday 29 November.
Where Topcashback rates differ for its 'Classic' (free) and 'Plus' (£5/year of your earned cashback) membership, we've given both rates, and we've done the same for Quidco 'Basic' (free) and 'Premium' (£1/month of your earned cashback) membership.

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.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
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.

When will your student loan be written off, cancelled, or paid off?

This information has been a long-term part of my Should I repay my student loan? guide (where... -

A stopcock is your mains water tap (the off switch). Everyone should know where theirs is, especially at this time of year when pipes can burst due to frost. If you don’t know where yours is, your house could be flooded with water everywhere, while you have no idea how to stop it. -
