If you register with Quidco (a cashback site) and book a holiday to Florida with Travel City Direct you will get back £45!! I just noticed this as I was trawling through their travel deals.
You can also get money for booking with Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Holidays, BA Holidays and many others but money wise the Travel City Direct one is the best.
If you've never used Quidco its quite simple, just register online (www.quidco.com) and then do your online shopping through them i.e. if you want to order something from Boots, M&S, Tesco, John Lewis etc log into Quidco and find the store you want to shop at, click on the link that will take you to that website and do your shopping as normal. Quidco logs your purchase and you get back a percentage of what you've spent shopping.
I've made over £400 the last couple of years (lots of this through switching to cheaper car insurance), its a brilliant site. Hope this helps some of you booking with TCD!!

Also consider rpoints.com. I used Quidco for a few transactions and was not happy, they only paid me 50% of a Harrods transaction for no reason.
Been using rpoints 3 years and had £1,026.91 cashback, paid every penny I have claimed and they pricematch others like Quidco.

I am with Quidco and Rpoints, they will be paying for most of my Florida trip next year! :)
Personally as I like to book my hotel and flights seperately, I use companies like Hotelopia. You can normally find codes to get 10-15% off then you can use quidco to get a further 10% cashback! :thumbsup2

If its a fixed amount for booking, it may be worth doing seperate bookings for each member of your party, collecting the quidco for each one.
I did a similar thing with my home insurance with Churchill, and their £60 quidco....seperated my buildings and contents insurance to get double the cashback.

Might have to be logged in to see rpoints, not sure. I have claimed back a few times for Airline network but USrentacar are cheaper now, don't think anyone offers cashback for them.

Yes they both have car hire. Airline Network is on Quidco as well as Expedia and others I am sure. I have seen Alamo on both some times, but when I went to book recently it was not there.
Interestingly enough I have had the opposite experience to Wayne. Always been paid out by Quidco, but have been waiting over 5 months and all R points shows is pending for all my transactions. Going to wait until they are over 2500 and then chase up. I have also found Quidco to give higher than R points, but use whichever is best for the company I want to use to get rewards.
They are both fabulous ideas and I also have saved hundreds of pounds as well as earning hundreds by cashback.

It was 2 years ago since I tried Quidco, I just was not happy them saying I would get 12% then they only gave me 6%, I don't think they have harrods at all now so maybe it was the retailer that was at fault. On the other hand Rpoints have paid everything, yes sometimes a bit slow but it does get credited eventually.
If its been 5 months I would click on pending and chase it up.
Yes Quidco offer better points but Rpoints pricematch them. Rpoints also have companies Quidco dont have like cruisedirect.com, Just got 2.5% back and a pricematch going thru to up it to 5% to match cashbackings.
Best thing for anyone is try both see which you prefer, just don't buy anything without using a cashback site, a good link is this to find who is paying most http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/cashback-sites-comparison/

I also got fed up with RPoints not paying out. Quidco have been great - very prompt and more generous than RPoints as well. Highly recommended.

Done almost 300 transactions with Rpoints every one paid out, done 2 with Quidco, 1 only paid half(Harrods) they should and other I had to claim(The Phone Spot). Also they match any cashback Quidco offer.
Just checked enquiry dates
22 Nov 2006 The Phone Spot 0.00 50.00 processed View
14 Nov 2006 Harrods 22.45 1.13 successful View
Couldn't get my money until 30 Apr 2007 46.13 paid
5 months with Quidco, very few take so long with Rpoints
Like I say I think best way is try both to see which you prefer.
