QuidCo  (UK residents only)
http://www.quidco.co.uk
If you live in the UK, this is a great site for getting cashback on all of your IT purchases from the major suppliers (Dell, Apple, PC World, Dixons, etc). However, Quidco's real value comes when you use it to buy car & home insurance, as you can often claim a huge amount of cashback.
Click on the "Finance" link on this site, and have a look at how much cash you could claim back, if you bought your insurance from your existing insurance company, but using the links on the QuidCo site.
You'll still pay the same insurance prices you would've done if you'd have gone directly to your insurer's website/salesline, but using QuidCo, you can then claim a chunk of this cash back.
(Note: we do not receive any commission whatsoever for this blatant plug.. but have included it here, as we reckon it's the most valuable website for UK residents. Needless to say, none of the so-called independent websites that let you compare insurance prices will mention QuidCo, as it prevents them from getting commission when you purchase insurance via their websites !)
