Cash back?

I was wondering if anyone could help with my query?

I used a cash back site to click through to two different providers and bought services from both. When I checked my cash back account there was no mention of the cashback offered and nothing 'pending'. One of the services was gas/electric and this service started last Thursday. Should this be showing in my cashback account by now?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I've never used cash back before and I'm just curious about how long this kind of thing takes.

Thanks for reading :)

  • afaik these can often take many weeks to pay out,rarely if ever are they instant
  • Most of them take about 3 months - and that's often from the date of the switchover, not the date you signed up.

    I switched in June through one of the cashback sites and it transferred at the beginning of August.

    I sent a "chaser" email at the beginning of December as I'd still had no payment - and it was through within a couple of weeks after that.

    It might be better to ask on the Up Your Income board - each of the cashback sites has a dedicated thread on there :)

    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
