Any cashback sites or ways to trim Easyjet price?

After much searching and deliberating - I have decided to pay the extra for Easyjet - Glasgow to Malaga in June. I could have gotten cheaper from another scottish airport - but the flight timings weren't as appealing.

Anyhoo - anyways to trim costs or maybe a cashback site?

I've said no to insurance, speedy boarding and only take 1 bag in the hold. Will prob pay credit card - just for the peace of mind - should easyjet go bust!

    Im sure someone will correct me if im wrong, but the credit card will only cover transactions over £100 and therefore the two single tickets you are purchasing from Easyjet will only be covered if they are each over £100.

    But there's still no point paying for easyJet flights with a credit card rather than a VISA electron card. Easyjet is not a struggling airline with insufficient reserves. Plus even if it did fail to provide your flight you can claim your money back under the VISA chargeback scheme.

    Easyjet won't go bust. Despite Ryanair winding them up royally at the minute, Easyjet have plenty of cash in the bank and their strategy of targetting higher yield passengers seems to be working nicely.
