Sounds interesting. Don't think I've come across quidco before. Worth using then?Originally posted by amcdonald View PostI use quidco and then book through hotels.com, get a few free rooms per year that way and cash backRapid Accommodation

There's others, what they do is register for every affiliate scheme going and also arrange cash back through sheer number of users. They don't actually sell anything themselvesOriginally posted by RapidAccommodation View PostSounds interesting. Don't think I've come across quidco before. Worth using then?
Just go to a cashback site, search for the site you want to buy from, click through to the site you wanted to buy from and probably months later you get the cashback. It's usually 4-12% cash back if sites do it which is better than nothingDoing the needful since 1827Comment

Been using Quidco for a couple of years ... managed to get over £500 in cashback on purchases (mainly insurance and the odd shiny toy). Be warned it can take many months to get your cashback paid depending on the retailer.Originally posted by RapidAccommodation View PostSounds good! Have to give that a try.Comment

I just did a quick search and got the following

I think I will stick to laterooms and hotels.comComment

Oops! Sorry about that - as I said we're a young business and still getting things right. I was upgreading to universal Analytics yesterday and inserted the code into one of the send files too by mistake.
Thank you for pointing this out though, it's greatly appreciated.Rapid Accommodation

I'm just finishing a contract and leaving lovely accommodation just outside of Bingley.
My landlady uses spareroom.co.uk and mondaytofriday.com (she prefers the website of spareroom).
I was going to suggest rapid accommodation, but looking at the website I can't see how landlords enter their accommodation, so I didn't bother."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Hi Cojak, we don't allow accommodation owners to signup direct via the website. We're trying to be different by providing a really personal service, so we own some of our UK properties but the majority we seek out individually and vet them, to make sure they're of good enough standard etc.Originally posted by cojak View PostI'm just finishing a contract and leaving lovely accommodation just outside of Bingley.

We found when people could enter their own, we were getting a lot of 1* and 2*'s advertising themselves as 3* and 4*s!
If you could please let me know your landlady's details, I will give her a call (especially if you would recommend them?).Rapid Accommodation

So why don't you explain that clearly on your site and encourage landlords to contact you?Originally posted by RapidAccommodation View PostHi Cojak, we don't allow accommodation owners to signup direct via the website.
