      Sounds interesting. Don't think I've come across quidco before. Worth using then?

        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 themselves

        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 nothing

          Sounds good! Have to give that a try.

            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.

              I just did a quick search and got the following
              Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /homepages/2/d162575681/htdocs/rapidnew/send/enquiry.php on line 30

              I think I will stick to laterooms and hotels.com

                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.

                  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.

                    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.
                    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?).

                      So why don't you explain that clearly on your site and encourage landlords to contact you?

                      (And my landlady is just as fussy as you are, she'll vet and reject 1* and 2* lodgers).
