Do you use a cashback site?
 
A cash back site pays you easy money if you click through to the website you wish to purchase something from.

Who uses a Cash back site?

Yep, Top Cashback. Over £2000 since 2006.

I'm scared to imagine how much money you need to spend to get a tangible cashback

If you order stuff on the internet you should give it ago, it is just a case of clicking through to a site which could save you a few % or £50 if you're buying insurance, it is so easy, just make sure an adblock isn't on when you do it.

I just claimed £3.68 from a few small purchases several weeks ago and they will put it in my bank.

I only use Quidco. Used topcashback once but they helped themselves to a £5 fee by automatically opting me into some premium account - I have never used them since.

Throwing money away Den if you buy stuff off the net. Why let others have the click through commission? Get it yourself.

We will look into it a bit more but remember sometimes you always find there is a catch somewhere.

Well you don't buy extra because of cashback, it's just a bonus on stuff you were buying anyway.

Have to admit it's not as generous as it used to be. My best was £130 cashback on a car insurance policy, halved the premium. Switched away from them a year later too :).

VM are offering £190 cashback for a new account.

It isn't always just pennies.

Just done my Car Insurance clicking through via Topcashback to RAC.

So that is an instant £25 added to my Cashback pot, i was expecting £65 though but i read it wrong, they pay £25 on a New policy and then £40 on the renewal, so i am a bit annoyed with that.

But at the end of the day £25 is free money so can't complain.

For anyone on the fence and not yet using a Cashback site this is what it looks like on Topcashback when it tracks.

I use money off phone apps through organisations I do business with and my husband uses his ex forces card and phone apps that are supported by our local pubs.

Nothing to be scared about, its free money and nothing needs to be done other than click once on the cashback site you registered on to go to where you want to buy something from.

Free money is free money whether its £1 or £10+.

There are no catches at all.

For anyone still not sure about how easy it is to get FREE money, RAC and Burtons have just become payable so i have transferred £26.42 to my bank with a click of a button, no hassle and no tricks involved. :)

Very nice mines only a few 100.

We have a works based system, which is great for cinema tickets and suchlike.

Also managing to get 3 bonuses when shopping at Waitrose at the moment.
Points for the works system, cash-back from the bank and money off as a My Waitrose person. :D

Re: Do you use a cashback site?
 
Just a heads up for anyone using Topcashback they're doing a £2.50 bonus for any purchase over £10 until 26th August.

You need to opt in to it on their site.

TCB and Quidco. Usually mobile contracts, energy and if Virgin/Sky genuinely force me to switch and ignore my threats to cancel!

All went relatively smoothly over the years - had to put my first claim in with Quidco last month for a purchase of Nordvpn but other than that all tracked and paid without incident.

Quidco here. I closed my topcashback account some time ago, I can't remember the cashback figure on topcashback. On Quidco I've claimed back around £200 no issues. I've mainly purchased VPNs through cashback sites.

Both Quidco and topcashback match each other and competitors rates. Rates vary for premium accounts and basic ones. Topcashback £5 for the year and Quidco £1 monthly while active. I did try premium , I soon switched back to the free basic account type.
