Offer Overview
Quidco is offering new members an extra £20 cash welcome bonus when they join through an eligible referral and earn their first £5 of confirmed cashback.
This is on top of the cashback you earn from the purchases themselves. You need to earn £5 of confirmed cashback—not simply spend £5—and you can build the total across several qualifying purchases.
You'll need
- Join Quidco through an eligible referral
- Earn £5 of confirmed cashback from qualifying purchases
- Complete purchases through Quidco tracking
- Wait until the qualifying cashback becomes confirmed
Eligibility
- New Quidco member
- Referral invitation displays the welcome reward
- Cashback comes from eligible purchases, not bonuses or free transactions
- Qualifying cashback remains valid and is not cancelled, returned or declined
Cashback normally starts as tracked and later becomes confirmed once the retailer approves the transaction. Only qualifying confirmed cashback counts towards the £5 threshold.
Check the current reward
Quidco can change its referral reward. Check the amount displayed on the Bank Boost referral link before signing up; the reward shown when you join is the one that applies.
Things to do
- Confirm I'm a new Quidco member
- Check the welcome reward shown on my referral
- Understand that I need £5 of confirmed cashback
Join Quidco through Bank Boost
Use the Claim Quidco bonus button to open the eligible referral offer. Do not visit Quidco separately and create an account first, because the referral must be attached during registration.
Affiliate disclosure: This is a referral link. You will receive the advertised new-member reward if you qualify, and Bank Boost may also receive a referral commission or reward when you complete the offer.
Prepare your browser
Clear cookies and cache, enable cookies, turn off ad blockers and VPNs, avoid private browsing, and click through from Bank Boost immediately before signing up. Quidco recommends clearing cookies to improve referral tracking.
Complete registration and verify your details where requested. Quidco may offer 3 months of Premium free; you do not need Premium to earn the welcome bonus. After the trial, Premium currently costs £1 from your cashback balance in months where you shop through Quidco, while Basic remains free.
Things to do
- Prepare my browser for tracking
- Open Quidco through Bank Boost
- Create my account
- Decide whether I want to keep Premium after the free trial
Earn £5 of cashback
Use Quidco for purchases you were already planning to make and work towards at least £5 of qualifying cashback.
The normal process is: sign into Quidco, find the retailer, read its rates and exclusions, click Get cashback, complete the purchase normally, and let Quidco track the transaction.
You can combine multiple purchases. For example, £1.75 + £2.00 + £1.50 gives £5.25 once all three amounts become confirmed.
Not every reward counts
Quidco says bonus payments, referral bonuses and free/no-spend transactions do not count towards the £5 threshold. Retailer exclusions also apply.
Fixed cashback offers can help you reach £5 without a large purchase, but never buy something unnecessary purely to trigger the welcome bonus.
Things to do
- Choose an eligible cashback offer
- Check its exclusions
- Work towards £5 total cashback
Make sure your cashback tracks
Cashback only helps with the welcome offer if the purchase tracks successfully.
Before each purchase, sign into Quidco, enable cookies, clear old cookies where needed, disable ad and pop-up blockers, turn off VPNs, avoid private browsing, use one browser window, click through from Quidco immediately before buying and complete the purchase in one session.
After clicking through, avoid other voucher, comparison, email or cashback links before completing the order. Use voucher codes only when the retailer’s Quidco page permits them.
Quidco says purchases normally track within around 72 hours. Check Quidco → Activity, and save the order confirmation until the cashback tracks and confirms.
Missing cashback claims
If an eligible purchase has not tracked, Quidco allows a Missing Cashback Claim. These generally need to be raised within 45 days of the purchase, so keep your order details.
Things to do
- Complete my purchase in a clean browser session
- Check that the cashback tracks
- Keep my order confirmation
- Raise a claim if an eligible purchase remains missing
Wait until £5 is confirmed
Seeing £5 under Tracked does not complete the welcome offer. The qualifying cashback must become Confirmed.
The retailer needs time to check that the purchase was genuine and was not cancelled, returned, refunded, reversed or made outside its cashback conditions. Quidco says the full cashback process commonly takes around 3–6 months, although timing depends heavily on the retailer.
Protect the qualifying cashback
Do not return or cancel a purchase that generated part of your £5. If the retailer declines that cashback and your confirmed total falls below £5, you will need another qualifying transaction.
Use Quidco → Activity and the Bonus Cashback or Quidco Bonuses area to monitor your transactions and the welcome bonus.
Things to do
- Reach at least £5 tracked cashback
- Wait until at least £5 becomes confirmed
Get your welcome bonus and refer friends
Sign in to track your progress and manage this step.
Sign inOnce you have earned at least £5 of qualifying confirmed cashback, Quidco unlocks the welcome bonus. After the qualifying cashback has been paid, Quidco says the bonus normally updates to Confirmed within 2–3 days.
You can withdraw Quidco money by bank transfer, PayPal or selected e-gift cards. If your welcome reward is £10 and you earn the minimum £5 cashback, your total value is at least £15 before any further cashback.
Once you are a member, check your own Refer a Friend offer. Referral amounts can change; Quidco currently gives Premium members £25 per qualifying referral, and the referred friend needs £5 of confirmed qualifying cashback.
Eligible members can share an active Quidco referral asset through permitted methods, including social media, and may add it to the Bank Boost referral pool. Update the asset if the displayed reward changes. Unless a campaign says otherwise, Quidco’s current Account Holder Agreement limits members to 10 successful referrals in a rolling 12-month period.
Things to do
- Receive my welcome bonus
- Withdraw or redeem my cashback
- Check my current Refer a Friend reward
- Add my eligible referral asset to Bank Boost
