Sorry the key here is we have the cashback checker which is updated - so as we've a tool the guide is of lesser import. Unfortunately some things just get knocked down the priority list. I will take a look today at it.

Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately the cashback checker doesn't include all the cashback sites. Are you looking to add other sites to it as well?

Just to say we are currently actively in the process of doing this

Hi Martin

Any idea on when this will happen?

I and others do feel Rpoints/Cashback Kings should be removed from the list of recommended sites due to all the issues they are currently having. The way it's going there might not be a site there within the next few weeks: http://www.rpoints.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1211019

Please note the recommendations from earlier in this thread namely GPB and Fatcheese both who have the best customer service around. Fatcheese also offers Guaranteed cashback as well as a loyalty bonus.

I noticed the MSE news story today

It really is time to update MSE guide

Just wondering if the update is still in the pipeline
A little update
GPB - don't charge an admin fee anymore and still great service:T and honoured DGM payments:T
Fatcheese - have a loyalty bonus(2% on purchases) and great service:Tand honoured DGM payments:T
TCB - still the same;) and honoured DGM payments
Quidco - still the same;) didn't honoured DGM payments:(


Rpoints (and sister sites)- no one knows who owns them (where's the confussed smilie) so you can't trust them
The other sites on the top cash back sites list I don't use
(the GreaseyPalm link doesn't work)
and no intention of using


and 1 point on Pigsback is now worth 1 third of a penny:(
10points = 3p , and hardly any vouchers worth getting:(

Here's an official statement by Quidco regarding the bankrupt DGM

http://www.quidco.com/blog/?p=399

It appears quidco paid out 11,946 quidco member a total of £194,000.
Admittedly this was only about half of what was initially owed prior to DGM going bust. It seems like quidco members had a 50/50 chance of being paid ... all of which was funded directly by quidco as DGM administrators appear not to have released any funds to quidco (as of late July this year), who are considered an unsecured creditor of DGM.

Luckily I didn't have any purchaces with any site from DGM

But in my opinion it's a big tick in the box for sites that honoured payments and a big cross for them that didn't
