For starters if you buy anything on the Internet you should know about cashback sites. They give you the opportunity to receive a percentage of what you pay back and the best (and probably the most comprehensive ) of these is Qudco.
The process is really simple, sign up for a free account and go shopping. All you need to do is follow the links to your favourite web sites through Quidco and once you have completed a transaction you will receive some of the money back. It can take up to a month for the cash back to show on your account but it can be really beneficial. Our own editor bought his car insurance using the site and saved £100.
What’s the catch? – there isn’t one really. The only thing is that Quidco retain the first £5 you earn back each year but apart from that no charge.
If you are really smart one of the best money saving ways to use the site is a s follows:
That way you double your cash back. Not bad really.
There are a number of others around on the web so here is a link to a list of all the cash back sites we can find so far. I will be reviewing others individually in the future.
For now Quidco gets four stars – it’s free and it helps the pocket but the design is not brilliant.
OK, firstly, if you have not come across this site you must of been living under a rock for the past few years. We’ve been addicted to the site since 2006 and it is by far the most useful site on the net today when it comes to your money and how to spend it.
Developed by Martin Lewis, a journalists with an impecable reputation, he provides a completely free web site that tells you how to get the best out of your money and where you can save money in your day to day life. Details include a weekly email with all the latest tips and trends as well as some great offers (Free magazines, cheap products etc).
Over 1.5 million people now get his email every week and he has become the true consumer champion, helping save money and take on the big corporates. In fact he was responsible for helping thousands claim back bank charges last year.
Thats all we can really say about the site apart from there are also some great forums where people go to talk about the tips and how succesful they have been – Our editor reckons to of saved over £400 last year alone so it’s well worth giving it a look.
This is definetly a five star site – it’s useful, it’s impartial and best of all it’s FREE especially if you want to keep your hard earned cash in your pocket.
OK to start with this site is not really very useful but we had to say it was quite fun to play around with. Simply upload your photo and add all sorts of things to it from words to animations.
BlingEasy makes it easy to put all manner of .gif animations and glitter graphics and backgrounds and texts and whatever else clever you can think of on a photo of your choosing. Simply upload a photo and get blinging.
With BlingEasy you can resize pictures, drag and drop images on to your photo, draw on them and just get creative. You don’t even have to download anything to use. It’s completely web-based and free. Plus, you can upload them to MySpace, Facebook, and all the other social networking sites that are out there.
We’re giving the site three stars – not because its good just taht we had fun changing the way everyone in the office looked.
If you are anything like me and the rest of the team here we are always changing mobile phones. Every time I do I have to go through the task of remembering to copy numbers from my phone to SIM card and then from the SIM to the phone and vice versa and invariably I loose a few numbers. Being too lazy to connect the phone to my computer (and to be honest already having too many gadgets attached!!) I really wanted a simple way to do this.
Mobyko basically takes this pain away and I’ve got to say I am a great fan.
I first came across the site in 2006 and to be honest it was a bit clunky and the technology sort of worked but not very well. Since then the guys have done a fantastic job.
What you need to do
That’s it really – within a few minutes you receive a text with relevant connection software and you then back up your numbers and anything else you want. I personally don’t use all the features but if your life is in your phone get on this site quickly. What’s more it’s FREE.
Hopefully the guys at Mobyko will give us a few words in the future to add to the site to give you the full low down on the solution.
This is definetly a Four Star site.
