Have you looked at adding GreasyPalm? I've found them quite reliable on tracking and payment.

Hi folks,

Unfortunately the technology isn't quite there to add Greasypalm yet - we are working on getting some more included though

Would is be possible to include a search for :

a) The highest paid cashback offer in £ and % regardless of suppiler

b) Subcat the comparision site to say, a)Insurances, B)Retail and so on, similar to some other cashback site do.

Thanks

http://www.frugaller.co.uk is a good site to look at for the rest of the cashback sites that aren't included in the MSE list.

They list 19 different cashback sites & offer a comparison between them all

is pigsback not there?

xman · 12-12-2007, 10:52 PM

Good idea but not working for me... About to get a mobile contract with "3" the comparison is not accurate since is showing Quidco has no offer when is actually the best offer. Other cashaback sites do not even have the current mix&match offers and are showing out of date info...

As i said the idea is good so this just an example so the guys can address issues.

Nice idea, but needs some work on matching the sites, not quite production quality yet I'd say.

http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/sho...iders/#content

Having a look under 0-9

101cd - missing quidco (best site)
118 golf - listed twice, BOTH missing quidco (best site)
123 ink cartridges missing quidco (best site, paying 15%)
123reg - missing quidco (best site)
14clubs - listed twice, both missing quidco (best site)
1and1internet - listed THREE times, missing quidco

I got quite bored at this point, as the tool is clearly not ready at all. The omission of quidco, the best paying site in most cases is serious (for all I know many other sites are missing, but I haven't bothered to check).

Quidco is quite clearly number 1, most popular, proven site, and the tool is useless without quidco as a minimum.

just did a quick search for tesco wine as i'm thinking of getting some very soon - bizarrely it shows up as giving no quidco cashback, but the quidco site says it gives 3%..... looks like for some reason it's not picking up the quidco info on quite a few searches.

love the idea though!

Hi Dan reading the forums on MSE, there are a lot of disappointed people who have found Cashback Rewards on your maximiser, and when arriving at our site find that the cashback is no where near the amount the maximiser suggests.

We wish we had been informed that this was in progress as we could have offered you an upto date feed making sure all cashback amounts are up todate and correct

Please let us know if you would like this feed and will gladly make it available to you.

Is ecashback there ? They've been around for quite a while and I've been paid from them without problems.

Yep, I'm one! Maximiser says 5.28% for Cosmos when it's actually 1.98%!

tightasabulls · 15-12-2007, 11:43 PM

The search tool is great idea, unfortunately though thats all it appears to be at the minute, an idea!

Opodo is also missing of quidco in the search tools!

tightasabulls · 15-12-2007, 11:49 PM

Further to my last post,

Opodo charge 7.80 for booking online using your credit card!

SHOCKING!

but they still may be the cheapest, but i didnt like the way they were very sneaky with the charge, it wasnt in their terms and conditions, (i read them before i bought, sad i know)

Any ideas on claiming a bad credit card charge like that back from them? (saying iv crossed the topic)

Many thanks

pinkfluffybabe · 21-12-2007, 3:14 PM

Any chance of having Nectar e-stores included? For places like Amazon not covered by Quidco it has a pretty decent payout.

indierocker85 · 22-01-2008, 7:18 AM

It isn't displaying results regardless of retailer, have reported it to the cashback checker email adress but just thought i'd make you aware

reformedEffortMaker · 22-01-2008, 8:07 AM

im having the same problem as indierocker85!

indierocker85 · 24-02-2008, 3:39 PM

I think the cashback site was intended as save money for yourself make money for the site. As you save the most and the site can make money when you click through to the cashback sites (normally via an affiliate link). Which is good for all, but I think it does need a bit of work.

But in defence of the tool not displaying results, it does say that you should check twice. Perhaps it would be a good idea to list the tool as a beta perhaps??

mojo585 · 24-03-2008, 10:58 AM

I agree with other posters that greasy palm seems to be a good site to make a little cashback. The only thing is that you must earn at-least £25 before they will pay you. I have only been using the site for a few days but I will post any positive or negative experiences later on.

Has anyone heard of clickcashback.co.uk?

I think that I may have used their site a bit hastily recently. They don't seem to be listed on this site and wondered if anyone could supply any further information about it?
