. I'm already a member of topcashback,

So why would a moneysaver use the uw cashback site?

Topcashback pay you the cashback into your bank account to spend as you wish.

They pay higher rates than UW, with no membership fee to pay.

And if you are a topcashback member, they give members extra cashback (up to 10%) on top of their advertised rates depending on your transactions each month.

From my limited observations, there are good reasons to shop around for the discounts. There are discounts available with UW that aren't available on the traditional cashback sites and vice-versa. To eliminate one option by making misleading claims is not helpful to individuals looking for the best deals for their circumstances. To be consistent, the cashback-sites maximiser should mention other examples where potential savings can be made.

Where are the misleading claims?

The UW cashback site does require you to jump through hoops - you have to pay monthly membership fees to uw - the uw cashback isn't cashback at all, as the uw takes it as part payment of their bill - and the cashback site maximiser is still useful for uw members to find out where else they could go and get better cashback!

What a stupid statement. UW offers certain benefits to its members. It happens to charge a small fee to access those benfits. Emd of story.

If people don't want what UW offers so what. Over 300,000 of us do even if they are friends - so what?

The whole idea of this forum is moneysaving. So what is so unpalatable in being shown the "UW offers" are not offers at all, but the emperor's clothes!

You posted here that you have been waiting to shop on line at M + S, and now are able to use the UW cashback site to do so.

I've been hoping Marks & Spencers would be included and although I have never shopped online with them I will do so now.

I show you how to get at least 25% more real cashback by using a proper cashback site, where you'll get the money in your bank account without jumping through any uw hoops.

This forum is for moneysaving, not moneywasting!

No wonder uw members get called gullible if they are so happy to jump these uw hoops for less cashback, and get their "friends" to join them!

I and around 300,000 others and growing at a tremendous rate are happy with what UW offers.

You simply can't stick that. Get over it and move on.

And you think I'm gullible as you keep telling people on this forum that UW members are, then I plead guilty - happily

All this "happiness" with UW is especially hard to swallow from you, keggs.

As has been previously shown, you are only "happy" when you come here, but elsewhere you are far from happy with the UW.

Now it turns out you have given up on them for the last 6 months, don't like the cashback card (you describe it as "messy"), yet are happy to promote the uw cashback site here for us to shop at M+S, even though we (and you) can get more M+S cashback by simply using a mainstream cashback site!

What made you give up on them, and why are you back to being "happy" again?

What my personal life or particular small gripes has to do with anything is of no consequence. Nor have I any intention of being goaded into discussing anything with idiots like you.

I see that you appear to be still accessing the networker site. I'll have to have a word with Jez Tromans. I have an idea to smoke you out.

It is of high consequence when you continually comeback here to promote the UW, and tell us (dishonestly) how happy you personally are with it, when the opposite is the case!

In fact Quentin, I'd like to thank you for energising me.
