  • In a battle to get better cashback, i have put together a very basic cashback site where you can have 100% of the comission rather then a 50/50 basis.

    I did start a topic on it which is currently in the referrals:

    http://forum.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Referrers;action=display;num=1101372173

    People should sign up and start taking advantage
  • I have found the (apparently new) cashbackfriends site which claims to generally give more cashback than the other sites. I'm sceptical though. The company (E-Business Assist UK Ltd.) seems to have created loads of poor sites generating leads, including http://www.carhirerental.co.uk/ which is similar to cashbackfriends. Their privacy policy also says that they will sell your email address to other companies too. Has anyone had any experience with them? Anyone got cashback? Has anyone got spammed?

    Thanks
  • also, the email to confirm my email address states:

    "Furthermore, the following privacy policy is associated with this list:

    Privacy Policy goes here

    Please read and understand this privacy policy."

    Has this site been thrown together? Reassure me please.
  • I used the rpoints link from this site to sign up to the current OneTel offer last Monday.
    How will the £12.50 get to me? Nothing has appeared on my rpoints account so far. Thanks

    It does take a while to get the points - they have to have it confirmed by the retailer. However, it does work - you can take it by Amazon vouchers or in cash - I've accumulated over £300 in a year, well worth it.

    Thank you. Sorry, I should have been more precise...

    I actually meant to ask if any sites give cash-back for shopping on-line for Tesco groceries. I know rpoints give it for a first shop, but I regularly buy my grocery shopping on-line, so I was just wondering if there was any way of getting cash back on my regular grocery shop?

    Thanks :)

    Hi Mike, just to let you know that your signature shouldn't contain referral links. If you want to post a referral you have to do this on the Referrals Board.

    Thanks. :)

    PS If you check your full statement on the rpoints site you can see what date your £12.50 should appear in your account. Unfortunately, I can never remember how to get to the points statement page, and the site navigation on rpoints isn't very good. I usually get there by trial and error, by editing the address and trying things like 'statement' and 'points'. (Must remember to bookmark the page next time!)
