cashback sites. the best and worst. Hints and Tips

Quidco and pigsback are great. Just signed up to Quidco and site is nice and easy to navigate. Excellent cashback. Join the Pigsback thread in the freebie forum for the latest way to collect points. You click on advertising on their website and get paid. You also get points from signing up to newsletters.
Used Greasypalm for a while but they never seem to have the retailers that I use online.

Try BigHair.co.uk there admin fees are eventually going to be abolished.

Worth a look anyway.

I'd recommend Quidco too! They've got some examples of how they compare:

Hope that helps! Don't know how cherry picked they are but they all look like pretty major names and I've never seen better rates elsewhere.

I've heard good things about Topcashback too but I worry a bit about how they fund the site. They claim to make all their money from advertising but, unlike other sites, it's not really transparent. They could be making loads from the advertising or, more worryingly, not nearly enough! What both these sites have highlighted is just how much the likes of Rpoints and GreasyPalm have been making off their members!

Which ever site (or sites) you go for you can always ask them to add merchants if you've seen them on one of their competitors.

The biggest tip I can give is to avoid buying stuff just for the cashback - it's not 100% reliable so treat it as a bonus that you will probably get. There's some really good advice elsewhere on here about how to make your tracking more reliable and Quidco have a pretty good page about it (http://www.quidco.com/help/77/). The main thing seems to be, apart from clearing your cookies, to turn off all the things that you're urged to leave on to 'protect' you from adverts.

Enjoy your cashback!

I use Quidco wherever possible for sales/services and a small recurring section. Freefivers, Cashbag Rpoints, for daily clicks, I make a few quid a day with all of these. No refferals are given there.

Quidco gets my vote. Very easy to use, great website interface, and top cashback. I have only been a member for two months and have already got almost £250 tracked. Hopefully it will come through!

I have used edealsuk.com since November and have earned circa £70. Looking at quidco's website; it appears I could have tripled that... Aaahhhhh!!!:mad:

I'm signing up now....
