    In a nutshell, but my thinking was this:

    deposit £10 (assume you will lose it)
    get £40.40 cashback
    Accept cashback in the form of CC points which they top up by 5% so you get £42.42 in CC points
    When your CC vouchers get sent out exchange them in a double up instore promo or a 3 or 4 times face value reward

    i.e. a £10 stake is worth either £42.42, £84.84, £127.26 or £169.68 depending on what you exchange your points for in Mr T

    Bear in mind there are lots of sites offering similar deals. Also you can do each deal in your name and OHs name. Plus you can refer people to TCB for more cash ;)

    And remember, all this assumes you lose your original £10 stake. You might not, you might get lucky and win something

    A word of caution to all the gang discussing bingo and casino Cashback offers. If you and OH sign up using the same computer there is a risk with some providers that you will be flagged by security, have your accounts closed and have your deposit withheld. They record IP addresses tied to computers and sometimes spot this apparently :o. (May just be an issue if you both take up the bonus offer as most of the bonuses refer to once per person/computer/address etc).

    There is risk involved that you will lose your deposit and the Cashback will be declined. That said, I have done "a few" of the casino offers and in the vast majority of cases come out with my deposit (sometimes more :) ) but you have to be so careful to keep reminding yourself that you you are looking to meet the minimum requirements for the Cashback then leave. Unless stated otherwise (and I haven't had any yet) I have always declined any deposit bonus otherwise you then generally have a significantly increased wager requirement (amount you have to spend before being allowed to withdraw). I have used low risk games such as roulette (black or red - no risk both classed as abuse!) or Blackjack - there is a rusk with both but less than most when playing perfect strategy (lookup wizardofodds on Google). I used to do the bonus offers years ago when the wager requirements were much lower, now it is near impossible to meet the requirements and come out with your deposit due to the odds so only now go for the Cashback offers (still some to avoid!).

    Remember that these offers are gambling (not moneysaving) and there is a risk as stated - and a risk you will like it and start returning without a Cashback offer then you could get yourself in a right tangle!

    TCB and Quidco have a range of offers, as does Maximiles (points built up for items including gift cards for Argos as my preferred withdrawal) and Wepromiseto.

    Hi Suzysnowball, there was a technical problem with the website that they are trying to fix. There was a post yesterday(sorry I forgot who the OP was) saying that hopefully it will be back tomorrow.
    Mortgage debt 45,000. Thank you all for your help so far in helping me save to buy the house. I could not have done this without all your help.

    So long as you have a different card there should be no issue with people from the same households signing up :)

    Different person, different card, different computer, same address = banned in one well know high street based establishment for bonus abuse :o.

    As clarified above, decline the bonuses as they carry additional t&cs.

    Is there anything worth buying for topcash? I need a big push to get out of the door today.

    Struggling to get the enthusiasm up for shopping today. I've got a few things on a sainsbobs £20 brand match and topcash list - still not quite enough.

    Other than that I've got £30 and £20 conditional spends for tosco along with one for a £16 cleaning spend - cant justify more loo paper :D not had any tosco till spits for weeks.

    Have you got any ssm vouchers left to print, might be worth it with the extra spends :D

    Morning everyone :hello:
