Earn money just by walking into shops

So its lovely out there. Well frankly its ruddy gorgeous. This is THE English summer, so get out there and enjoy it. I for one do not want to be sitting in front of the computer on the internet and not enjoying this weather. Ironic really as that's exactly what I'm doing.

But by getting out there I still found a way of making money online (all-be-it via a smartphone).

The good people at Quidco have developed a lovely little iphone app (may also be on Android?) that means that you can get paid for popping your head in the door of a few shops. No purchase necessary, you don't need to buy anything, you dont need to get a receipt to prove you were there and you don't even need to talk to anyone. The app works by using GPS so it knows when you are in the store - you walk in, press 'check-in' on the app and voila.

The amount you get paid varies between store but they all seem to around 10p-25p. Most of the shops on the app are phone shops - so head to your nearest 3, phones4u, carphone warehouse. If you don't know where your nearest one is, don't worry the app will show you so there's even less for you to do.

There seems to be a time limit on how often you can visit a store but they do seem to come round again.

Payment is pretty much instant - it is confirmed by Quidco straight away and then when you get over £1 will be paid to you in the next pay run so there is no waiting around for the payment to be confirmed like cashback.

So four phone shops, a couple of quick chats with sales staff and I'm £1 up!

This has got to be the easiest and simplest way of making free money. Its crazy talk it really is..
