    Hi,

    If I go through Top CashBack to get Swinton insurance I can earn £30 cashback but going straight to the Swinton insurance website doesn't offer me the quote I want.

    I have to go through GoCompare to get the quote I want from Swinton. So to get this quote with any cashback is my only option to go to GoCompare from TCB? This only gets me £1.50 cashback.

    Is this right?

    Last time I got insurance using TCB I went to the insurance company without using TCB, got a quote and saved it. I then went back to the same site via TCB, retrieved my saved quote and purchased it.

  • For some day snow, I've been unable to access Top Cashback website, I receive error message: 906047.
    I'd be grateful for any assistance, regards,

    If this isn't really the same topic please let me know but has anyone used a site called Freebiejeebies? It gives gifts rather than cashback for product/service trials, such as free lovefilm trails. It looks genuine but people i've talked to seem sceptical and I don't want to waste my time.

  • Hello,

    I am new to this site and haVe tried the above on quidco. Can anyone explain how to make money just by clicking on links please?
  • Hi,

    Just a warning to you all on using CashbackNetwork or InsurePink cashback offer anywhere I guess.

    I took out House Insurance with InsurePink, as with the £75 Cashback offered, it worked out better than my renewal quote. It took ages to get any cashback at all, and when it did arrive, it was only £35! CBN took their £5 admin fee out of that, and I ended up with £30 instead of £70.

    CBN claim that InsurePink changed it to £35 before I took out the policy. Rubbish. Why the hell would I have taken it, my renewal was better value!?

    Very poor service from both, and I won't be using them again.

    Hi All

    this is my first post, however I am wondering if anybody has had the same problem as me with the News of the World Captain Cash Cashback site, I signed up over month ago and earned a total of £133 through switching my gas etc, according to the site this money was paid via Bacs on 1st October but to date this money has still not hit my account, I have checked my bank details all are correct, i have checked with the bank as well but there is nothing, I have tried to raise this issue several times but can only do this via 'contact us' which generates an automated response but nothing else......any advice would be greatly recieved :(
    You are not by any chance all so signed up with the Sun cash Back are you,Because if you are this is a mistake I made I did not read the bit that says you can't be a member with more than one of there sister company's So I was suspended and Lost all my cash Back from Both sites but they did not suspend me till I had £37 in one and approx £33 in the other but I mist the in portent bit the small print. A warning to all!

    HMV has not tracked in to a proper cash amount for over 3 weeks now - everything from 15 sept onwards still only shows £0.00. all september orders have been delivered so why have quidco/hmv not honoured the cashback?

    come on quidco sort this out. what is the delay? i have multiple amounts so please do not ask me to raise a query when this is clearly not my problem!
