So im thinking about doing the cash back thing with the RAC offer

im unsure if i can do exactly what i want

i understand the basic cover is £5 after cash back for the year but i could really do with the tow to home offer

on the topcashback website i think it says that this is a cash back offer too where you get £40 back [so pay 20 in the end] but im not 100% sure

i have a new [but used] s2000 which i know is fairly reliable but just in case id like this

if know one can give a firm answer ill just do the £5 one.

thanks

    Hi there,

    I'm still waiting for my RAC cashback from topcashback from 2008! Numerous requests and enquiries, I've given up now. Just something to bear in mind - as Martin says, you can never rely on the cashback until it's in your pocket!

    thanks for that, that does sound suspicious, maybe ill think again, but the price isnt too bad anyway

    I did this through quidco almost a year or so ago now, just the cheapo one and actually had my cashback through twice. :p So they ended up paying me to take breakdown cover. But anyway if you're not keen on the cashback go on moneysupermarket and look there for breakdown cover. You should be able to get normal non cashback cover that you want for about £30.

    It states it's on a continuous payment scheme, so do you have to pay by credit card? I'm thinking ahead of the renewal next year, or can you pay by debit card, so that you can cancel easily to look for the best deal next year?

    I've just signed up, hopefully I'll get the cashback, I've not had any problems with Topcashback before. £5 is brilliant.

    Credit or debit card. Just be sure to phone up and cancel when they post you next year's renewal or they'll just take the payment again.

    My cashback has not tracked, so have made an enquiry with topcashback.
