Get up to ~ £32.50 to Spend on Travel (or Whatever You Like!) for Buying £25 of Groceries

Some links to products and partners on this website will earn an affiliate commission.

I haven’t had the chance to test this yet, but it should be possible to get £19.95 Quidco cashback on a £25 grocery shop at Asda online (for new Asda online customers).

I wrote a little earlier about the £13 (1,625 Avios) cashback that new Asda online customers can earn for a £25 spend via TopCashback. It reminded me of something I’ve meant to point out for a while now – that rival cashback site Quidco pledges not only to match TopCashback’s rate, but to pay double the difference on top.

The current Quidco cashback rate for a £25+ shop at Asda online is £6.05. The difference between that and the £13 TopCashback is offering is £6.95. Quidco say they will match TopCashback and double the difference – which means you should get £19.95 cashback in total on your £25 spend!

Note that the current Quidco rate is due to expire later today, so don’t wait if you want to take advantage.

Rules

This is for new Asda online grocery customers only (perfectly reasonable to get a family member at the same address to sign up though, if you already have an account).

Click through to Asda from Quidco here and make sure you sign up as a new Asda customer and spend at least £25.

Then, take a screenshot of of the Asda offer on TopCashback here (with the date and time in shot) and submit your request for higher cashback to Quidco here. Technically you have 72 hours to lodge a claim but I would strongly recommend doing it immediately – it only takes a minute.

You said “up to ~ £32.50”?

Indeed.

If you don’t have a Quidco account yet, you can currently sign-up through this link and receive an additional £12.50 on top of the £19.95 = £32.45 in total.  This is the most generous Quidco sign-up bonus we can remember seeing and I’m not sure how long it’s likely to last.

Isn’t this a travel website?

Absolutely – I know Joe loves SPG Starpoints, but ultimately even the the most flexible form of Points/Miles ‘currency’ can’t match cash. I’ve mentioned before that I set aside my cashback into a ‘travel fund’ that allows me to take advantage of the best deals (whether purchasing Miles/Points or paying directly) when they come up, and I think it’s a great system.

If you would rather have Avios than cash (and already have a Quidco account so won’t get the extra £12.50 bonus), for the sake of simplicity you might be better off going through TopCashback who effectively allow you to use cashback to purchase Avios at 0.8p each. There are good reasons not to automatically transfer cashback to Avios though, so the Quidco route will likely be the best option for most people.

Conclusion

Sign up to Quidco and click through to Asda here, spend £25+, lodge a ‘highest cashback guarantee claim’ with Quidco as explained above and you should get £32.45 in return if you’re a new Quidco member (or £19.95 if you aren’t).

    I gave this a go last night. You don’t get a confirmation email that they’ve received your guarantee claim, nor does it appear in your profile or support inbox.

    They are still showing £6.05 today.

    Quidco accepted my claim. So about 2 days to get the response.

    I note that TCB have reduced their CB to £11.50, but that’s still £17.05 discount, assuming Quidco process the claim before the TCB expires. Might be nip’n’tuck as it expires in 2 days, and it’s the weekend.
