Which Cashback Site Is Best?

Guys I do a fair bit of online shopping but never used a cashback site!

I have found out about, greasypalm, quidco, mutalpoints and ipoints!

Which is the best one to sign up for? Lowest payout etc!

I dont spend loads and loads online but sometimes buy from,

Amazon (often)
Play.com (not often)
M&S (not often)
MandMdrect (often)
HMV (often)
Kitbag.com (sometimes)

And there are more!!

So any help appreciated!

    Quidco pays out the most, usually, but charges £5 a year membership.
    Greasy Palm is also good but pays out less, usually. They are a more professional outfit and respond quicker to queries.

    I buy everything I can through these sites, you can get up to £130 cashback on car insurance for example.

    The big problem is not all transactions get "tracked" which means you may not get the cashback. This is usually due to security systems on your computer preventing "cookies" which are essential for tracking
  • I use greasypalm as they are the most helpful, I tried 1 or 2 others but didnt have much luck with them

    quidco & topcashback are the best i've found. but there's no harm in signing up to a few as they don't all have the same merchants on their books.
    TOP MONEYSAVING TIP

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    I use greasy palm and they have always been great. I have also just started using Quidco and my first payment is on its way. Seems very good so far, especially for insurance.

    I love being paid to shop!

    Quidco are fab. There was a poll on this site a while ago asking for votes on which was the best cashback site - Quidco trounced it.

    I also use Greasypalm, Pigsback & Freefivers. The last two are more for clicks/points etc as I don't purchase items through their sites (with the exception of CD Wow via Pigsback as you get 10 points per £1 spent, 10 points = 10p so you're getting 10% back in rewards).

    Hope this helps.
    Quidco ~ £3,718 | Greasypalm ~ £354 | Freefivers ~ £45 | Pigsback ~ £260 shopping vouchers + 15 CDs
    Total cashback / freebies / money-saving: 2006 ~ £3,961 | 2007 ~ 3,610 | 2008 ~ £4,159 | 2009 ~ £1,449

    I have used Greasypalm in the past but you have to wait until you have reached £25 and have that amount in your account for as much as a whole calendar month before you get paid out by them. This is OK if you are taking out something like Motor Insurance through them when I have had as much as £50 cashback.
    I am now using Rpoints - they have a really good tracking record and you can request a payment to either your own Bank or a Paypal account when you have got only £1 in your account. Also good for daily clicks.

    The problem with Quidco is that if you only make small purchases per year the annual fee can take rather a large chunck of the cashback partiucalry if you have less than the minimum fee.

    I prefer TCB now as when I joined it was free, I also had several tracking problems with Quidco

    Does anyone use MrsCashBack??? I have just been offered a gold membership (normally £29.99) for free, even though i've never used it.

    Was wondering what people thought of this site first
    :heartpuls I love this place! :heartpuls
