    Hi all,
    New to this, and eagerlearner kindly sent me their guide, but I have a few queries with it. I may have this wrong for one reason or another and if so am asking people to tell me where I am going wrong, thanks!

    The first site recommended to sign up to on the word document I received was moneybackmadness.co.uk. Looking at the excel spreadsheet I also received, it says various daily clicks are available on moneybackmadness.co.uk but upon searching almost none of them are actually available. The word document says there is a £20 opening offer with wepromiseto.co.uk. This doesnt appear to be the case, and searching for wepromiseto.co.uk on this board it seems they are an extremely suspect operation - maybe this is wrong and they are fine, I am not sure.

    Here are the discrepancies I have found between eagerlearner's spreadsheet says is available as a daily click and what is actually available at moneybackmadness.co.uk:

    Bigpoint - 25p - 13p new registration, 25p 1st sale only
    Buycentral - 03p - Searched for buycentral and buy central, neither are on site.
    Cascade Compare - 01p - Searched Cascade Compare, CascadeCompare, and CascadeCompare.co.uk none found
    Compare Xtreme - As on spreadsheet
    FR33bies - 01p - As on spreadsheet
    Kelkoo - 01p - As on spreadsheet
    Pricehaggle - 01p - No result found
    SearchChief - 01p - Searched SearchChief Search Chief No results found
    Urban Stone - 01p - Searched Urban Stone and UrbanStone No result found
    Urban Stone search - 01p - Searched Urban Stone search and UrbanStonesearch No results found

    Total daily clicks on spreadsheet = 35p daily clicks with this site
    Actual total daily clicks = 03p

    Quite a discrepancy.

    Was hoping to use eagerlearner's guide to get started but not sure I can rely on it.

    Can anyone suggest a good plan to start, or tell me where I have got things wrong?

    Thanks very much :)

    Most are dependant on clicking activety or tracked ammounts and on the forums of each site
    read the T&C's for each one
    Cascade
    Chief
    Crunch
    GetPoundsBack
    Xtreme

    All good. Just watch the Crunch one. You need £3 tracking for the last 30 days. There's hardly enough dalies to cover this so some no spend offers will be needed. Think it's £4.20 in dailes but you would have to have a 100% tracking hit rate to get them all :(

    HTH :)

    I would start with

    Get Pounds Back
    Fat Cheese
    Chief
    Cascade
    Top Cash Back

    There are plenty of others. Would be a good idea for people to come back saying which sites to avoid, like loyalty Shopper and Quanti. Tied into both of those for the time being. Also Rewards is a bit rubbish atm.

    Hi meatballs :D

    Personally I wouldn't touch MoneyBackMadness or WePromise to with a barge-pole! but everyone has different opinions.

    Basically the sites fall into 2 groups which are generally called either 100% sites and 50% sites.

    100% sites give you 100% cashback on all earnings, they are able to do this because they charge an admin fee of around £5.00 per year, taken from earnings (TopCashback is free and also gives you over 100% cashback as they make their money from advertising but another charges you £2.00 each time you cashout! )

    The 50% sites make their money by sharing the cashback from clicks with you and so they are free to join, some even pay you to join! They usually try a bit harder to get more clicks!

    The 100% sites are quite strict on how many of the "Free Cash" offers you can do (they have already had their fee) but some of the 50% sites let you do more, as the more you earn so do they. I also think they try a bit harder to find more offers, but the 100% sites are best to make purchases with.

    I think you are best joining a mix of the two, and my favourites are:

    TopCashback - 100% site which is free to join but not many dailies

    GetPoundsBack - 100% site which charges £5.00 per year out of earnings which you can make very quickly.

    CashbackChief - 50% site which will pay you £2.50 for joining, has lots of good dailies and offers

    CashbackCascade - The same as the above as it is the sister site

    There are very many more but you are probably best just doing a few to start with and my advice would be to ask others opinions before joining some of them :)
    If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours :)

    Btw some of the discrepancies you quote are very recent losses and the spreadsheet probably hasn't been updated yet.

    Good luck! I concur with the sites aforementioned by SteveV2 :)

    I gave up with MoneyBack Madness as I wasn't getting anywhere. I do like one called SpeedCashBack as well.
    Weight loss: Start weight: 80kg; Current Weight: 77kg; Target weight: 55kg
  • Thanks for the replies/info everyone - I assume the spreadsheet just needs a bit of updating.

    Will definitely investigate the sites you mention, much appreciated...

    Thanks for the link to CBChief forum... very concerning. I am not clicking anymore until I have received all the money that I'm waiting for.

    Link now updated by owner of Chief. ;)

    Been away from clicking for last few months but decided to start again. Whilst doing Shop4me on chief and cascade i have noticed that Im allowed 23 clicks on each site but my partner is not getting any allowed. Am i correct in saying its limited to 23 per ip address per chief/cascade site?
