I use tcb all the time, prefer to use this rather than Quidco because of the first £5

So far I've had over £150 Cashback and still have £40 pending from car insurance like HXC said very little 'effort' involved

Also currently they are offering £15 for Tell A Friend (http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/p_2000)

BACK OF THE LINE!

I prompt them when it takes a long time.

Stuff like Sky can take upto 6months, but why is that a problem? it's free money you wouldn't have got otherwise!

I didn't say it was a problem, just offering my experience of the service.

Used to use Quidco, but switched to TopCashBack as they don't take the £5 per year fee. The cashback rates are pretty much the same as Quidco too so I don't see any reason to use them.

Gained about £400+ in the last 5 years and I don't even buy much

My friend who signed up in August already has been paid £50~

Use both Quidco and TopCashBack, just got £45 from Quidco, but do intend to do as much as possible with TopCashBack (and not Quidco) as I feel they operate a better service...

I've earned nearly £3000 from quidco in 4 year years. In that time I've had to submit maybe 1/2 claims. Those took 5minutes. If you are claiming that Quidco etc are not worth it, you are doing it wrong, very very wrong.

Case in point, my years worth of mobile phone contract is £20.00 thanks to quidco. Thats £1.67 a month for all my calls/text/data.

I don't think I've paid more than £6 for AA/Rac cover in the last 4 years thanks to quidco.

Too much hassle and too many pitfalls for what you get back. The big deals there are discounts you would normally obtain anyway - you take their mobile phone offers and you get a bad contract but nice cashback, for example.

Your mileage may vary, but it's a pain in the backside and to me not worth the effort.

Not really...

Total confirmed & paid cashback
£887.61

For next to no hassle and having researched the cheapest places already anyway. And this is NOT using it for everything, where I have found cheaper prices on things and not gone through it.

Well worth it. It's stupid not to use it.
