Topcashback seems like a total waste of time

savemoney

Yes TCB waste of time, over the year I haven't wasted £400+ on buying odd thing or two and changing insurance

I have had a few things not track but its all sorted by raising a ticket

I too have had problems with National Lottery though despite tracking its says 0 payment

I tend to use separate browser for online shopping via tcb

Been using TCB for well over a year now and not really had any problems only two items that never tracked but were easily sorted by raising a ticket...

Is that £400 of Cashback you are saying you earned in the year and if so who did you use to earn cashback with given that you apparently avoid TopCashBack?

the only company that I can't get to track on top cashback is The National Lottery, have submitted a enquiry, everything else so far has tracked ok

the lottery did track for me but I got 0

Topcashback for me everytime, I stopped using Quidco after two Vodafone contracts failed to track(a lot of money) no resolution after a lot of communication with them.

My experience is the other way, everything tracks for Topcashback, nothing for quidco.

Same for me too, in fact I just got £90 from TCB for an order I didn't even complete!
I tend to avoid Quidco, I was getting lots pf transactions stating that another party had been paid. Never got an answer when I asked who.

sorry I meant over the years

I didnt say I avoid TCB, I implied I saved over £400 by using them rather than not thats why I said I use a different browser

Cheers for all the advice and the benefit of your experiences.

It appears to be a mixture of good and bad, although most people seem quite happy.

Understandably, the most lucrative cashback seems to be from the bigger purchases, so I can only assume those who are bagging 1000s in cashback have spent whopping sums. :eek: It's only a coincidence that I've bought two mobile phones online in the last few months. I certainly don't feel it would be worth paying to join a cashback site based on my experience so far.

> in some cases 18 months to pay out
18 months?! I won't give up hope quite yet then...

You dont pay to join tcb unlike quidco, and deals are every bit as good. I stop using quidco years ago after faffing about paying up for a transaction

I stopped using Quidco (unless they have an exclusive on something as they do with Admiral Insurance) as if I earned £10 cashback in a quarter and £5 of that disappeared in their annual fee that would not have been charged by TopCashBack it would annoy me.

And I stopped using GreasyPalm before that as their cashback rates were much lower as they kept a large amount of the cashback for themselves.
