Get stuffed.
I can't say it was nice chatting with you. I'd be lying if I did.

Where are the misleading claims?

You can get better/bigger cashback using the MSE cashback maximiser! Or just go straight to topcashback or quidco.

and previously....

To qualify this generic statement - you may be able to get better/bigger cashback from other sites, but not always.

Unlike you, I am able to accept that there are grey areas. It is you that makes the misleading claim that MSE/topcash/quidco will give you better/bigger cashback on everything. As I said before, it is a shame that the MSE cashback maximiser gives the impression that these are the best available deals when there are some better ones.

Quentin

No. I pointed out ways to get better cashback.

Which you can by making use of the maximiser, or going direct to the websites.

I'll add an eg and and etc for you:

Go direct to the cashback websites, eg. quidco, topcashback etc.

The merchant that keggs mentioned here in his spam post for the uw cashback site (m + s) I have shown pays 25% more cashback using mainstream sites!

or, one could actually be prepared to admit that there are some merchants that offer more on the UW cashback site, and I'll add some eg's for you:

Sainsburys groceries, best mainstream site pays 30p per order, UW cashback site/card pays 5% on groceries, not sure how to work out a %age, lets say on £50 spend it would be 800%+ more cashback. not including the 5% cashback on fuel. Also, Boots, mainstream best 8%, UW cashback site/card 9%, 12.5% more cashback using UW. B & Q, mainstream best pays 4%, UW cashback card/site pays 7%, 175% more cashback.

Again, as I said before, it is a shame that the MSE cashback maximiser gives the impression that these are the best available deals when there are some better ones.

But your examples are misleading - they aren't correct, in that you don't get the high levels you claim just by using the cashback site.

In fact the uw pays nil cashback for grocery shopping at sainsburys.

You only get the 5% if you pay with the risky uw prepayment card!

All your other examples are similarly flawed - 5% of the cashback actually only coming if you have a uw prepay card (and you aren't taking into account the extra costs of that card either!)

So you mislead by combining discount schemes, quoting the discounts gross (without mentioning charges), and ignoring all the uw hoops involved!

Still a gullible would be taken in, especially if being told all this by their friendly brother in law who is the family uw rep!

Problem with your "happiness" you keep telling us about here is your lack of credibility! (Supposedly happy here when promoting uw, far from happy elsewhere, where you have been running so cold on uw you have given upo on it for the last 6 months!)
