    i haven't used rpoints before - i think they're good but cashback may be lower than elsewhere. I have used quidco but now use topcashback. Quidco charge a £5 annual fee. Top cashback dont charge anything so that's £5 extra in your pocket. I'm not sure if rpoints charge an annual fee.
    :D

    I've got £200 out of Quidco in less than year and nothing declined, I know I've been lucky and I would never do an insurance policy through there unless it was genuinely the cheapest one.

    February 2013 nearly there! Time to start kicking HSBCs **** for PPI and charges! :D
  • I like quidco, but I use cashbackkings too (it's rpoints but with 100%cashback, they charge a £5 admin fee like quidco but rumour has it they will not charge if you can prove you have already paid quidco).

    I have never had a problem with quidco but have to be honest and say never is a relative term, since I am fairly new to cashback.
    If anything I say starts to make sense, PANIC!

    R-Points pay around 50% Cashback, they do however match higher cashbacks elsewhere to those who put in a claim (s)

    Is there a RPoints thread other than the one on the referrals board? There are too many referral links to wade through on there.

    My last Rpoints purchase didn't track so I usually stick with Quidco. Although Quidco isn't 100% perfect at tracking either.

    CashbackKings is basically Rpoints but with 100% cashback.

    I use Quidco and Cashbackkings as each site will have higher rates than the other, but covers pertty much every online shop i want to use.
    Mortgage as Sept 2012: £96,000
    Mortgage free: When i'm 39 / Sept 2023

    Mortgage repayment = £588
    Tracker Rate 1.99% above base: 2.49%
  • I made 2 purchases through rpoints. Neither tracked. I've made 8 through Quidco. All of them tracked.

    Make of that what you will. I'd rather spend £5 a year and get something back (I've been paid £45 in the last month, with nearly as much still validating), than not pay and get nothing.

    Why not try using both, and see how you get on?

    I've never had any problem with Quidco, but have now moved to Top Cashback as they don't charge the annual £5
