Checking my bank account today I noticed Quidco had paid me another £2.88. A quick check of my Quidco account reveals this was from Game back in October when I purchased Fifa Manager 2009.
No matter how many times I receive cashback in my account, or how small the value might actually be I still can’t help but feel excited when it appears in my bank account!

Back in May I wrote about receiving a £100 cash incentive for signing up to something. I was deliberately vague back then about what I signed up for as it was actually a bank account and I’m a bit paranoid when it comes to my personal finances so didn’t want to give away too many details.
Well now I am pleased to report that the same well known bank account has paid me another £100 for closing their account as part of their service guarantee if I’m not happy with the account after 6 months. That makes it £200 just for opening a single bank account, paying in my salary every month and then closing the account. Now that’s my kind of banking!
£100
If you have been anywhere near the shops this weekend you can’t fail to have noticed all the signs in the shops advertising price cuts of up to 50%. Whilst the media are busy writing hundreds of stories claiming this is due to the ‘credit crisis’, that’s not entirely true as this type of promotional sales have become quite common over the last couple of years.
£20.41
I received some more cashback from Quidco this week which included £20 from a bookmaker that I signed up for back in September and £6 from playing the National Lottery which I have already written about.
In addition I earned £2.25 cashback from M&S for a pair of shoes I bought despite the fact that I returned them to my local store as they didn’t fit.
£2.25
Of the 12 re-listed items that recently finished only one sold for a profit of £2.51 which is slightly disappointing as I had hoped that a couple of them would sell this time, it must be a side effect of this recession!
Unfortunately one of the original auction winners failed to pay even after I had opened an unpaid item claim with eBay, and as they failed to respond to that I was credited the £1.45 I had already paid in eBay fees for that item.
