Frequently Asked Questions
Quidsy helps UK users earn extra money through bank switching bonuses, cashback offers, and referral rewards. Find answers to common questions about everything Quidsy and free money offers. It's completely free to use - no hidden fees or catches.
Absolutely! We're a UK-based team (currently two of us) and we've personally completed every single offer we recommend. All the brands we feature are FCA-regulated banks and reputable companies. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme - just two guys who discovered how much free money is out there and thought there needed to be a better way to present the offers and guide people through it.
Most offers take just 10-15 minutes to complete. With some more valuable offers taking up to an hour to complete. You could literally earn £50-£175 during a lunch break or while watching Netflix. The longest part is usually waiting for the money to land in your account (which we make crystal clear for each offer).
For banking offers, yes - but it's usually automatic and takes seconds. Banks verify your identity using your details and a quick selfie check. No paperwork, no posting documents. We walk you through every step so there's no surprises.
Most people earn £500-£1,500 in their first few months by working through available offers. Some individual offers pay up to £175 each! The exact amount depends on which offers you're eligible for, but there's genuinely thousands of pounds up for grabs if you're willing to spend a few hours over a few weeks.
We cover three main types: Bank switching bonuses (the big earners, £50-£195 each), cashback offers (earn when you shop through our partners), and referral bonuses (get paid to invite friends to services you already use). Something for everyone, whether you want quick wins or maximum earnings.
Bank switching is when you move your current account from one bank to another using the Current Account Switch Service. Banks pay you bonuses (£50-£195) to switch because they want your business. The switch itself is free, takes 7 working days, and automatically moves all your payments. What's more is you can just stick with your current account if you choose to, it's genuinely the easiest free money out there.
It depends on the bank. Most current account applications use a soft search (invisible to lenders), but some banks do a hard search - especially if an overdraft is included. Hard searches can temporarily lower your score by a few points, though the impact fades within a few months. If you're applying for a mortgage soon, you might want to hold off on switching. For everyone else, the small temporary dip is usually worth the £100+ bonus. We flag which offers use hard vs soft searches where we know.
Usually yes, for a short period. Most banks require you to keep the account active for 3-6 months after receiving your bonus. We tell you exactly how long for each offer. After that, you're free to switch again and bag another bonus. But at the end of it all you're free to return to your original account!
Yes! There's no limit to how many times you can switch banks. Once you've held an account for the required period (usually 3-6 months), you can switch to the next bank and earn another bonus. Some savvy switchers earn £500+ per year just from switching bonuses alone.
Let's do the maths: around 45 minutes to follow the steps, £175+ in your pocket. That's over £200 per hour for your actual effort. Bank switching is one of the best-paying 'jobs' you'll ever have.
We built the Quidsy Plan for exactly this question. We've mapped the perfect sequence that builds upon each offer - no more guesswork. Start with quick wins that build confidence, then graduate to bigger payouts.
Each offer comes with a step-by-step guide written by us (who've done it ourselves). Follow the very simple step-by-step instructions, meet the requirements, and the money lands directly in your bank account from the brand. We're just here to show you the way and make it incredibly simple.
Many offers need zero upfront cash. Some require small deposits (like £1-£5), that you get back. Bank switching might need you to pay in your salary or set up small direct debits - but that's money you're spending anyway, just routed through a new account. We're upfront about any requirements and make it easy to follow along.
You can track every step of the offer guide, with our built in tracking system. You can see your progress in the offers section and your banked profits in the profit tracker dashboard, in real-time.
It depends on the offer - we tell you exactly when to expect payment for each one. Some cashback is instant, bank switching bonuses typically arrive within 7-30 days of meeting requirements. No waiting for us to 'process' anything - brands pay you directly.
No problem! You can still add your referral link where it's a refer-a-friend offer and make money from the Invite page. Once you've done this, simply click Complete Offer to mark it done and move on to the next. Your existing accounts become earning opportunities!
Many services pay you to refer friends (£5-£50 per referral). Add your referral links to the Quidsy Pool and when other Quidsy users sign up to that service, they might randomly be assigned your link. You help them get a bonus, they help you earn. Everyone wins!
Yes! Each person in your household can complete offers individually - that's potentially double, triple, or more, in earnings. A couple could easily earn £2,000-£3,000 between them. Just make sure each person uses their own details and bank accounts. Family money-making session, anyone?
Cashback sites like TopCashback are great (we use them too!), but they just list deals. Quidsy gives you step-by-step guides, tracks your progress, and covers way more than just cashback - including bank switching bonuses and referral schemes. Think of us as your personal money-making coach, not just a deal aggregator.
Drop us an email at support@quidsy.com or via the contact form on the website (link below). We're real humans - Chris and Dan - and we typically reply within 24 hours. No chatbots, no ticket numbers, just friendly help from people who actually use Quidsy and do the offers ourselves.
It happens occasionally - brands change terms or technical hiccups occur. Let us know and we'll investigate. We'll update our guides if something's changed, and help you find alternative offers. We've got your back!
We're constantly hunting for new offers and typically add fresh ones as soon as they're spotted. Banks launch new switching bonuses, cashback rates change, referral schemes come and go. Be sure to have signed up to Quidsy to receive email updates or just check back regularly - there's always something new to earn from on Quidsy.
