Quidco vs Topcashback?

Options
I've been with Quidco for quite a while but just wondered how they compare with Topcashback? Is it worth registering with more than one?

  • Well theres no £5 admin fee for topcashback. Which is probably significant if you aren't a big spender..
  • Oh an I believe there is a cashback maximizer gadget on here if you do open another one.

    Thanks - I didn't realise that. No harm in registering then! :T

    TCB have tracked everything except Equifax for me, and I submitted a successful claim.

    I have got £200 since October with them, love the cashback bonuses.

    Topcashback don't charge a £5 admin fee.

    Topcashback are currently offering a 1% topup on their normal cashback rates.

    They also guarantee to match Quidco rates (but only for merchants that they offer).

    Personally, I can't understand why anybody uses Quidco over Topcashback.

    Definitely no harm in registering with them. I do all my insurances through them and if I want anything I look to see if that company/product is registered with TCB. If it is, I often find it is a better rate of return than buying through eBay - which itself is registered with TCB, so all my eBay purchases are cash-backed as well:j. Win, win all the way:T. There's not much I don't get that way - even buying M&S stuff (order online, get cashback, collect in store to save postage:rotfl:) Brill!:)

    I signed up with nPower in September and Quidco are still holding on to the cash.
    One a week I email them and they always fob me off saying "yes we know it is frustrating but basically f**k you, we're keeping it for now".

    Avoid Quidco, it's a massive scam.

    Top cashback* I've had no problems
  • I moved over completely to Topcashback (TCB) from Quidco about 1 year ago. I do not buy much online, but realised TCB is much better for my usage.

    Also, they have resolved all of my past queries when there is a tracking issue, but these issues are few and far between. A good service when you consider the fact that they don't charge a £5 fee.

    I did once have an issue with Quidco as they halted all owed payments to my account. This does taint my opinion of them a little. That was an issue which dragged out for a little as I did not pick up on the problem for 2 months. When I got in contact with them the issue was resolved. Eventually they did pay out, but even then the payments did not come when their c/service informed me that they would.
