Cashback sites & security

in Boost your income
I signed up to TopCashback a few months ago after reading so many reccomendations for cashback sites on here. I'm now due a payout of around £70, which ideally I'd like to go into my bank account.
My question is, is this safe? Does anyone have any advice/experiences with cashback sites and payouts, that could advise me as to the most secure way to get the money?
Thanks!
(Apologies if this is in the wrong section - I couldn't decide where it best fit!)

    I have been paid by Topcashback into Paypal and nothing wrong happened. I think they are very safe and don`t think you have anything to worry about. However I am not sure about other sites!
    Every little helps :beer:

    Using BACS is just as safe as you are only giving your account number and sort code which are the same details that are on cheaques in the good old days of using them, in my world they are pretty safe any way

    but....................... I do seem to find about £750 missing out of my account each month but I shall keep on blaming the wife for that.
