Did you knwo you could earn money while buying DVDs?

There are websites out there called Cashback sites that pay you to shop!

The biggest is Quidco and they pay for shopping at sites like dvd.co.uk, HMV etc

All it costs is a £5 yearly admin fee that is taken out of your earnings so you don't pay anything up front.

I have earnt over £200 so far - fond out more at http://www.quidco.com

Forum rule violation or not forum rule violation that's the question!

"Spam" by posting repeated annoying messages
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I know you can't. You can save a little amount of the money you spend, yes, but at a rather steep price, that of giving up a part of your data privacy.

And they profile you and sell those profiles to the marketeers so those can spam you with even more "good offers".

See above, you don't 'earned' a single pence.

Or maybe he just wanted to share information about a site that has saved him some money. Don't be so quick to judge.

The link he gave us is no referer link, so he doesn't get any money out of it
The site itself looks good. It has gotten good reviews on several sites and positive mentioning in media
The privacy policy is simple and easy to understand. You have the option to opt out of any newsletter
The anti-spam policy also looks good
I've google around a little bit and didn't find anything negative about it
The only negative thing I've found is that it's only for UK residents


The Wikipedia article doesn't mention anything negative eiter. If it was a scam it would most likely have been mentioned there.

And to those that quote the rules saying that you can't "post commercial product references, advertisements, or other commercial information", why haven't that been posted in the UK Bargain thread as well? Same rules should apply for that.

Sorry, but the only thing I see here is one person, trying to make hiis first post here a helpful post.
*end rant*

To jubbyuk: Welcome to the forum and thanks for the link (even though I can't use it)

EDIT again: I see from later post that they have found evidence that jubbyuk is affiliated with Quidco. Nevertheless, my point still stands. Don't be so quick to judge other on their posts

I'm sure he/she just want to let us know something interesting that he/she have found. If he/she is a spammer that the most patient that I've ever seen (register since september 28).

Doesn't look like a spam to me

@reybr

Although I still think the post shouldn't have been made, I did remove the negative vote based on your post...

perhaps he should have PM'd Ken or Geri first....

Well, I did not give any negative, because I cannot recognize the intent of this posting without any doubt.

In dubio pro reo!

I had this happen to me at another forum I used to frequent.

I was in there just showing a link that I used and thought I would pass on the information as it was on the up and up and I thought others could benefit from it too.

Just reading the OP comments, I took it for no more than that. I do not think he was trying to do any more then to just let people know that he found a good deal and wanted to share it.

Unfortunately there is a thin line between spam and information at times ... but I personally do not think this was meant to be spam.
