A question we get asked a lot is, “You help people make up to £2,537 completely free, what’s the catch?” In this post we explain exactly how we make money, so that you can be sure there are no hidden surprises.
We make money in three ways. All of them depend on you succeeding.
Quidsy makes money in three ways:
We never charge fees, sell data, or take a cut from your earnings.
We only make money when you make money.
When you sign up to a bank or app through Quidsy, the brand sometimes pays us a small fee for sending you their way. This comes from their marketing budget - not your pocket.
Think of it like a thank you payment. They wanted a new customer, we introduced you, they pay us a small amount.
You get the full bonus. We get a small payment for introducing you. The brand gets a new customer. Everyone wins.
Some brands offer refer-a-friend rewards. We use these the same way you do. When we refer you to certain offers, we receive the same referral bonus any user would get.
Nothing special. No secret deals.
For our Spare Account Setup guide, we offer an optional £3 direct debit as a small thank-you. It's completely optional - you can skip it and still use everything on Quidsy for free.
If you do choose to tip, it helps keep the site running and makes your bank switching setup a bit smoother. But there's zero pressure.
Just as important as how we earn is what we'll never do:
Before Quidsy, we built Team Profit. Over 5 years, we helped more than 100,000 people earn over £10 million in total.
We'd already done something similar once and loved it. Same goal: make it super simple for people in the UK to find money that's just sitting there waiting.
We're not a faceless corporation. We're Dan and Chris and we built Quidsy because building websites and helping people find free money genuinely makes us happy.
Yes. You can use every feature, complete every offer, and never pay us a penny. The optional £3 tip is exactly that - optional.
Yes. We only list offers from UK-regulated banks and established companies. When you click our links, you go directly to their official sites. We never see or handle your banking details.
No. We don't sell, trade, or share your personal information with anyone.
There isn't one. We make money from brands when you complete offers. If you earn, we earn. If you don't, we don't.
We make money three ways: (1) Brands pay us a small fee for sending customers their way, (2) Refer-a-friend bonuses from some offers—the same way you'd earn, and (3) An optional £3 tip from users who want to say thanks.
No. Dan and Chris created Quidsy after founding Team Profit, which helped over 100,000 people earn more than £10 million. We only list offers from UK-regulated banks and established companies. When you click our links, you go directly to official sites - we never see your banking details.
"Hey, this is 100% optional. Skip it if you like, no hard feelings!"
