    Why are you so worried? You should always think of cashback as a bonus. ;)

    If you haven't got the money to pay for it, you shouldn't have bought it on the off chance that they'll pay in 3 months time. You wouldn't have to worry about getting less than you paid for your stuff then either!


    That's true actually. It's just that I buy expensive stuff that I don't really need. But it's something you can resell. It's just that I don't really need anything right now...lol...I mean I got everything I want already. so may be go for food shopping @ £100 at asda? haha

    I haven't heard of anyone who has entered this promotion who hasn't won! We've been lucky to win - every day since it started - and a couple of friends have also won several times but we've only purchased things that we needed anyway so not too worried if it doesn't work out. It's a new company with a guy called Brad Blake being in charge. If they're still around in 3 months time hopefully everyone will be happy - if not, as someone has already mentioned, don't purchase stuff you can't afford ;)

    It would be good to hear from someone who HASNT won, this seems to good to be true to me.

    Who is paying for all this cashback? potentially £10000 a day or more if the winners are unlimited (as it seems)

    If it seems to good to be true..it probably is

    If yopu were going to buy it anyway then it doesnt really matter, but some are buying just to get the cashback...crazy

    My brother and I have both won on Friday and Saturday too. Now I really wonder if there's anyone whose shopping has been tracked but didn't win.....

    Just been doing some digging, seems the website is registered to the address of a restaurant? And is run by this guy... http://uk.linkedin.com/in/bradblake1

    I don't know if it is legit or not but it seems like a lot of money for a new company to pay.

    I guess as a new business venture there is a chance that it will fal at the first hurdle and no money will ever be given but if you need items anyway then it shouldn't hurt to try. Just don't rely on the cashback coming through

    Another person working for the company is this lady

    who worked together with Brad previously. It's possible they have had substantial financial backing to get the company up and running thus enabling them to do this promotion. There also seems to be a connection with the Get Me A Ticket website. http://www.getmeaticket.co.uk/static/2870.html

    "5.2 We will only pass back to the Account Holder the cashback that has been generated once we have first retained the agreed percentage of the referral fees earned. Until further notice the agreed percentage is 50%."

    Checking the T&C's it looks like you only get 50% of it back, which I don't mind as I was going to purchase the item anyway. But if your expecting the whole lot back beaware.

    No I think it's when the online shop gives them 50% of the fees is it not?

    Have just place the order. Finished within 30 seconds. I am sure I will win again :)

    Good luck everyone.


    I have bought 3 amazon kindles. (£111 one and 2 x £152 3G one).
    I will sell £111 and £152 on internet to get cash back and keep another £152 with me because I need it (wanted to buy earlier).
    So it's not bad if they won't give cashback. I am sure amazon kindle will be sold at a good price which shouldn't be lower than £100 and £140 but I need to sell it after the promotion (£20 off tesco code) has ended :)

    Hopefully they will be honest! Anyway, good luck to us all.
