"Are you a cashback connoisseur?" poll discussion

Perhaps there should have been another option of

Not spending/buying anything at the moment

?

I used to 'click' for free cash and can honestly say I made thousands through cashback sites without spending. It took about 45 minutes per day.

I now dont have so much time and to earn the same as I did 2 years ago would take double the time. I still keep my eye out for good freebie deals and boost my cashback that way.

I now really only use cashback sites when shopping online. Topcashback tends to have the highest rates. You can also earn extra cashback if you earn a certain amount on Topcashback, upto 110% cashback, I currently earn 104% cashback because I earnt well last month... Slightly confusing but a bit of a bonus and I dont know any other site offering such rates.

www.topcashback.co.uk is my favourite cashback site. If you want to see who offers the best rate by shopping site I recommend www.smartcashback.co.uk - type in where you want to shop and it will point you in the direction of the highest paid cashback...

People think I'm mad but what is mad about having thousands of pounds in my back pocket! :T

Ive just heard about these sites and signed up for topcashback. Do you just use it as a search engine to find the shop you want then shop as normal? Had a look at it but not sure if its as simple as I think it might be.

You can either search using the box on the left hand side or you can go to:
http://www.topcashback.co.uk/RetailersByLetter0.htm and browse by category or first letter of the shops name.

ie: Shopping Categories
Clothing
Computing
Electrical
Entertainment
Financial
Gifts
Health and Beauty
Home and Garden
Leisure and Personals
MOBILE PHONES
Office and Business
Shopping
Travel
Utilities and Phone

Then when you find the shop you want click on the big green continue button to visit the site.

If you want to test that tracking is working ok on your PC then click the button on this page:

it's just a slightly different way of earning cashback - this was certainly not meant as 'spam'- was just giving people a different option.... sorry if it upset you

How does Top Cashback earn a living with zero fees and 100% cashback ?

I may be possible to cut back on the luxury items but we all still have to live and pay annual insurance etc.

So why not get cashback for it too.

I have used Quidco since Nov 2007 and I've been paid £267 for just just a few clicks. Got another £100 in the pot waiting.

I used to use Rpoint but found the voucher system very limiting.

The main tip I find usfull is to make sure you keep clearing you cookies when going from site to site looking for the best price - this makes sure your cashback site gets paid - and then you get paid!

Hope this helps someone

They get income from the google adsense ads on their website (ads by Google). Every time someone clicks on one of the ads they get a percentage of the revenue. https://www.google.com/adsense/

It's the same business model as plentyoffish (free online dating) and as you can see it's potentially very profitable: http://plentyoffish.wordpress.com/2006/06/07/small-companies-google-adsense-is-the-future/

Revenue $10 million USD[1] (2008 estimated)

:eek:

As far as I know Quidco gets an overide from the networks (hence why they fell out with affiliate window who refused). They also own hotukdeals. So take any claims to give you 100% of the cashback with a pinch of salt.

Nice payment of £107.77 paid into my bank account from Quidco today. Cashback was for my car insurance and 2 holidays booked to haven for myself and the kids. I leave on monday for an Easter break so a little extra spending money.

I tried to explain cashback sites to my mum- she only realised the wonder when I booked several holidays for her and a club I'm in and got hundreds back in cashback! Now she is cashback convert!
