    Been with Rpoints just over a year and here is what i have made so far

    Points pending: 3507
    Points awarded: 17578
    Already redeemed: 17436
    Available to redeem: 142

    So not bad i have got £174.36 in just over a year for just using the internet normally.

    I think its best sticking to one site TBH never had a problem with claiming or redeeming.

    I've been using rpoints since November last year and I accumulated over £140 (of which £70ish I'm able to redeem at the moment). I'm v.happy with this site. Thanks to MSE for pointing me towards this excellent site.

    GreasyPalm

    Maybe this is normal but I'm not too familiar with cashback sites.

    I signed up with Greasy Palm & have over the course of 6 months accumulated £15.09 however every single transaction (including GP's own cashback's eg. joining) still show as pending. Is that normal?

    Also I referred someone to GP and they have accumulated £18.50 but the referral bonus (£7) still hasn't shown up yet (either pending or confirmed) Is that normal?

    I've got it into my head that they only payout when you reach £25 maybe that explains why all my transactions are pending.

    Mutual Points.

    Points or units? Any opinions which is best?
    Cheers

    I've found that I constantly have to report missing cashback from greasy palm. Every transaction I make is tracked tracks through it's rebate tracker but the money just doesn't appear within the 30 days or is not at the % of the transaction it should be when it does appear. I'm not sure if it's the retailers or greay palm but somebody is taking the mick.

    Greasy palm sometimes manage to track down the transaction, other times they just deny that the transaction was made and put your support ticket on indefinate "hold"!

    www.cashback-shopper.co.uk is a good one I use, apparently they give the most amount of cashback than any other website. It seems to be true as if you search for something on their website and compare the cashback to other sites they are much better

    Yes, that is the reason. It's confusing though, because "pending" has a different meaning on Greasypalm compared to, say, rpoints. On rpoints a "pending" transaction is one that's been tracked, recorded on the system, is as yet not credited to your rpoints account but will be credited to your rpoints account on the date indicated. On Greasypalm, on the other hand, all points credited to your account show as "pending" until you have accumulated £25, at which point they send you a cheque and those points show as "paid".
  • Perhaps you should have a look at Linemypocket.co.uk - on average, it pays higher cashback than rpoints and greasypalm, and you can withdraw your cash once you have earnt only £5 as well. :T

    Can anyone throw any light on the merits of using Pigsback.com? Signed up yesterday, but I also use RPoints & Linemypocket, and GreasyPalm (using the one that offers the highest cashback in each instance) - but although I started off just using GreasyPalm I am using them a lot less frequently now because I find that I almost always have to track and manually claim most cashback incidences myself - which I really cannot be bothered with, and makes me doubt their integrity!
