What would an extra £1,000 a year help you do?
Our research has shown us that two thirds of Britons are feeling poorer than they did a year ago and are having to cut back to make ends meet. Join our Save £1k by 2012 challenge and we'll help you increase your earnings for the rest of the year.
The following savings will be included:
- Cashback online
- Surveys
- Cashback in-store
- No brainers
- Voucher codes
- Referrals
- Printable vouchers
What's in it for you apart from potentially an extra £1,000 in your bank account at the end of the year? You'll get advance alerts to special offers and exclusive deals. We'll also share with you the tricks of the trade for maximising your earnings.
How do you take part?
When you sign up, cashback will be recorded automatically in your challenge record but you'll need to submit your savings with discounts, voucher codes and printable vouchers. We'll then add these all together and let you know what's left to reach £1k. It'll also show a more accurate account of how much you're saving with Quidco. Start saving now and take the challenge.
And remember, if you inflate the saving, you're only cheating yourself!
Share your experience!
We'd love to hear how you're getting on. You can either send your details to save1k@quidco.com and they'll be posted here or you can share your successes on Twitter and Facebook.
Why not promote your challenger status by attaching a badge to your profile picture on Facebook and Twitter? When you reach the landmarks of £250, £500, £750 and £1,000 you'll be rewarded with new badges.

Other easy ways to earn
If money is very tight this year, you can still earn cashback without spending a penny. Here are some easy ways to boost your cashback earnings:
- Refer a friend. For every new member you refer who then goes on to earn £5 cashback through Quidco, we'll give you £2.50. So, if you refer 10 mates, you'll earn £25 and 20 mates will earn you £50. It's really easy to start sharing, just sign in to your Quidco account and click on the 'Refer a friend' tab, or if you're already signed in start referring now!
- Try out no brainers and free trials. For example, LOVEFiLM is offering £15 for every new user that takes out a free trial. also, Credit Expert and Equifax are offering £5 cashback for signing up to their free trials.
- Take part in surveys. Surveys.co.uk offers £1.06 cashback for every survey entered.
