National Express cashback

9 Dec 11 National Express are currently pretending to offer a £10 discount towards your next trip. This is misleading, you actually have to join Complete Savings cashback who send you a £15 cheque. You have to pay £10 per month thereafter.

    It comes up as an option when you make a booking online.
    Whether it's good value or not may depend on how often you travel and how far. You pay £10 a month and get some savings. For me - travelling BHM - LDN where a return can cost between £10 and £20, two or three times a month - I don't think it's worth it. But like the Network Railcard (which I found paid for itself almost at once, travelling from London within the Home Counties at weekends) it may be worth it for some people.

    The £10 thing is a con, imo.

    They are doing cashback via topcashback, and there is a 20% off code (bristoluni) I have been on national express coaches all weekend it seems like and the code and cashback were successful on all trips.

    Had forgotten Topcashback until you mentioned it. Also thanks for the code it worked for me too.
