Cash-back website`s

areksnumbr1sxylady · 16 May 2013 at 16:30

Hi,

I met a thread some time ago on ocUK, talking about best cashback websites... and I got intrigued but never really looked into the subject...
Are those cashback websites any good and do they actually do cashbacks or is it another scam??

Are there any good ones out there?

Cash-back website`s

What the? I don't even know where that reverse apostrophe key is on my keyboard!

I use quidco a fair bit, never had any failed trackback and they've always paid out.

I use both topcashback and quidco, I've made about £700 from them over the years which isn't bad going for things I was going to buy anyway.

I use Quidco but there is an annual £5 charge (albeit only if you make that much) or a lot of people I know use Topcashback

I've made over £600 in about 4 years and I don't use it to it's full potential!

They scrapped that a few weeks ago.

Quidco and Top Cash Back (TCB) are perfectly legit.

I use topcashback

Had about £100 total in the last 6 months off them - but I am waiting for payouts for about £50 of it at the moment

Free money is free - even when its only like 5% on buying pet food (for instance). I am going to be buying cat food of the same website every month so it will add up eventually

Good if you are going to do insurance too - got £40 coming from the car insurance renewal

It`s easy to find.

Used it quite a bit, £100 off BT, £95 off Tmobile and a few odds and sodds from other retailers. May as well if im shopping there anyway!

It`s a pet hate of mine

But seriously, I can't stand it.

I've made about £100 a year through Quidco.com. Mostly with the generous cash-back offers on Hotels.com and Hostelbookers.com. Some airlines are on it as well.

Scam? lol

Janesy B · 16 May 2013 at 16:45

Just got £45 back on my RAC cover so no, it's not a scam.

TheLegendOfMart · 16 May 2013 at 16:48

Took me 8 months to get cash back on Sky subscription from Quidco, it's OK if you don't mind waiting for the money.

Why would anyone mind waiting for free money? :confused:

Regularly use TCB, had a couple of tracking issues with them but if your persistent they normally pay out on troublesome ones too.

I've used Quidco too, only for the click snap thing tho.
Theyve also recently removed their yearly fee aFAIK

Sometimes tracking and payouts can take a while but at the end of the day it's free money

Just don't fall into the trap of solely basing your purchases on the fact you get cash back as it's not guaranteed.

MrSnuggleBump · 16 May 2013 at 17:19

Certainly worth doing. I've had about £600 back over the past year or so using Quidco. Shall start using TopCashBack as well.

Razor-BladE · 16 May 2013 at 17:19

Made about £500 from both TBC and Quidco in the past 2-3 years.
Even managed to get Carphone Warehouse to pay ME for taking out a contract!

Stumble Bum · 16 May 2013 at 17:23

It's good as long as you were always going to make the purchase regardless.
