QuidsInUK security updates

Our members know that we take security VERY seriously at QuidsInUK.

You need to know your details and privacy are protected.

This was part of the ethos that QuidsInUK was built upon. Protect everything from the start so we can all rest peacefully and concentrate on what we do best: bringing you the best deals in the UK's corner of the Internet.

One thing we didn't bank on was non-UK members.

Our Terms of Service quite clearly state that we only accept UK members. The reason for this is that most of our retailers will only accept UK traffic.

In the beginning, all was well, until we started offering 'anonymous' payment options such as Paypal. This opened the door for the whole world to gate crash our party.

Normally, we would welcome anyone. Infact, we have many other websites (Harry Potter) that actively encourage everyone, where-ever they are to come and join the fun.

Unfortunately, QuidsInUK cannot accept non-UK residents, hence the 'check box' on the registration page "I confirm that I am a UK resident over the age of 18 and have read the Terms of Service"

Quote War of the Worlds:
But Still They Come...........

And so, it is with great regret that we have had to implement further security proceedures.

At all points during registration, our new system checks where you are in the world with an accuracy of 98%.

If you are not in the UK when you sign up, or there is any doubt as to where you are, our system changes the registration procedure and your registration becomes an application. All your registration details are logged alongside all Geographic data we can collect from your IP address.

Applications are shown to us in real time, so if you get flagged, we can deal with it within minutes. Obviously, if your applying at midnight GMT, there may be a delay.

Alongside this new bespoke GeoLocation system, we have implemented another check during payment runs. If a member decides they wish to be paid by any 'anonymous' payment method, then they will be required to add their Landline telephone number in their payment details. This number is encrypted to the same standard of security as all our payment detials using the bespoke 'QuidSecure' system.

Should a members Geographic location be in any doubt, we will attempt to match the details given with the phone number. If this isn't possible, we will make the call. But only once, once a member is verified, it's plain sailing.

We really regret having to implement such extreme measures, however our prioities are simple and have never changed:

Protect our genuine members privacy, Protect our Retailers from fraud, Protect ourselves from every possible problem.

We enjoy a good relationship with all our retailers and networks, hopefully these new measures can only increase their confidence in us.

QuidCompare Price Comparison with cashback

It seems fitting that the first post on the QuidsInUK blog is to be all about a new feature called QuidCompare.

QuidCompare is a price comparison search engine with a BIG difference. Not only can users search through Millions of products from Britains biggest online retailers, but also members of QuidsInUK can get cashback from everything they purchase.

If a user runs a search for a product or browses through a category, QuidCompare estimates the exact amount of cashback they can expect if they were to buy any of the products displayed.


And that's not all!! Quidcompare also has a discount Voucher code database running alongside it's search engine. So, if a particular retailer is is offering a discount across the range, or just for a few products, QuidCompare will display the coupon code along with the product description.

As far as we are aware, this is a first. Never before has cashback, price comparison and a voucher code database been mixed together. Not that we're blowing our own trumpet or anything.

To celebrate the launch, we are giving double the usual cashback for anything bought through QuidCompare. We have already programmed the system to display the double cashback along with any search results.

So what kind of merchants can you expect to find? Only the best!
A full and easy navigatable list of QuidCompare retailers can be found here.

And I suppose you'd like some forewarning of the categories too! No problem:

Books & Subscriptions, Clothing & Accessories,
Computers & Software, DVD & Video, Electronics, Gifts, Gadgets & Toys,
Health & Beauty, Home & Garden, Home Appliances, Jewellery,
Music, Sports, Telephones & Faxes, Tickets,
Travel, Vehicles, Parts and Accessories, Video Gaming.

At the time of writing this, there are 2845332 products on QuidCompare. The product database is updated everyday by the retailers themselves, so is guaranteed to be upto date at all times.
Quidcompare uses some of the most advanced transaction tracking systems available too, so you can be sure you'll get rewarded for your online shopping.

Please note that cashback is only available to QuidsInUK members, but don't let that put you off. QuidsInUK is FREE to join and even gives you a £5 sign up bonus as soon as you activate your account! You can also earn free money from QuidsInUK by doing your "Daily Quids" and taking part in surveys, competitions and other free to complete offers. More on that another time.
