    Damn! I was a member with them as well. I'd not earned much but it looks as though I can kiss goodbye to it! I read on another forum that Mrs Cashback is a scam operation too...
  • Amazed that Moneywise magazine are promoting Mrscashback as one of their "top 5 cashback sites" in their email newsletter sent out today which links to this article:

    http://www.moneywise.co.uk/work-wages/make-more-money/make-easy-money-online

    Very poorly researched article and shoddy journalism.

    I posted this comment on the article but it got rejected as spam!


    One of the sites you mention (Mrscashback) disappeared over a year ago, allegedly taking people's money with them:
    http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=mrscashback+co+uk

    Yet your newsletter lists it as one of your "top 5" cashback sites!

    The article says "Topcashback.co.uk, however, recently dropped its annual fee; all the other main cashback sites don't charge any fees. "
    As far as I know Topcashback has never had an annual fee, while the other main cashback site is Quidco which has always had an annual fee.

    Maximiles pays points instead of cash which you have to convert - take one of it's most popular 'points offers' - an Amy Winehouse CD which requires 2000 (the equivalent of £20 on cashback sites which pay you in cash). £20 for a cd which can be bought online at amazon for £3.99 - sounds like a rip-off to me!

    Rpoints: Free to join and no admin fee - that's because they keep the majority of the cashback for themselves and only give you a minority of it. EG. Dixons via topcashback 3% cashback; vs rpoints: 1% cashback; Marks and Spencer via topcashback 5% cashback; vs rpoints 1.5% cashback.

    GreasyPalm keep 50% of the cashback on every transaction for themselves.

    None of these sites are really a way of "earning money" - it's just a discount (which is never guaranteed as the transaction may not track or be rejected by the merchant etc)

    best of everything; they just make the best
    of everything that comes along their way."
