Cashback!!!
I do lots of the online cashback referral schemes but my favourite one at the moment is insurance.

Lloyds & Barclays were competing for business and offering £130 and £120 cashback for taking out a home insurance policy.

I twigged that contents insurance and buildings insurance are different policies rather than all in one building & contents.

SO, taking advantage of the low crime rate in Devon and new house I live in I'm currently getting about £50 - £60 from each of the above for the privelidge of having their insurance for free!

Yup, cashback £120, buildings insurance £62 = profit of £58 and free insurance.

Also, ALWAYS buy your new insurance about 1 or 2 months BEFORE your old one expires (you can postdate the start of the new policy). As they've not yet done your renewal quote the system will treat you as a new customer and give you the preferential new customer rates.

My car insurance this year costs £187, cashback of £130, so I'm insured for £57 for the year!

That's got me Googling
for car insurance cashback schemes. MIne costs about £400 a year, as even though I live in a low risk area, being a musician (albeit only part time and semi-pro) bumps up the premium something hellish.

So £130 cashback would be very welcome!

I use Quidco.com
but they've had some bad press lately so as per their T&C's. Don't buy something relying on the cashback, treat it as a bonus and don't buy something you don't need or is a bad deal.

I guess on the basis that sometimes it doesn't pay out.

The other scheme (though not a profitable) is "rpoints".
