    Does anyone know if these Visa offers will stack with cashback via sites such as Quidco or TCB?

    Would be interesting to test The Works online as both cashback deals are double digits.

    There are lots of websites that email you as frequently as you choose with the names of the 5 cheapest sites within a (5 mile ?)range of your postcode.

    Understood, but the point is that I was £2.70 better off as a result of the £5 cashback (even although the fuel was more expensive than Asda 1 mile away). OK, £2.20 allowing for 1.25% Amex cashback if I'd gone to Asda.

    They often will.

    We're off to Thailand in a few weeks and booked the flights in June. Managed to stack a voucher code with topcashback and a nationwide visa offer, knocked about £100 off the flight price for the two of us.

    I've called HSBC who advised I cancel my card (this was done!)...and just called Visa who said they have NO and I repeat NO offers with HSBC!!! What is going on!!!???

    I gave them the site details and address and they said it's not one of theirs!!

    I registered for the First Direct scheme last week and used my card for the £10 off £40 at Lidl.

    A couple of days later I got an email confirming the cashback and saying the £10 would be credited to my account within 5 days.

    Apparently the Esso offer only works at Esso branded stations so excludes Esso stations with Tesco Express

    Have you now actually got the cashback?? Has anyone had the cold hard cash from these offers??

    Not from HSBC yet, but the site is on the same domain (visaoffers.eu) as Nationwide's cashback program which I've had plenty back from, and a quick google shows that Allied Irish Bank also uses it.

    I had my first confirmation email of a HSBC offer tracking this morning (Lidl) and if it wasn't genuine there would be no way that any crook would know that I had used the card in Lidl.

    Like the previous poster, I too got the cash from using Nationwide card at Lidl (separate campaign of course)

    Has anyone else tried this at an Esso station with a Tesco Express attached to it?

    I'm not sure I trust the store locations list as it is merely made up of a Google Maps search for "Esso"
