TopCashBack

Options
My trial period expires in the next few days and I have to decide whether to be a Classic member or a Plus member.

I understand that you have to pay £5 to be a Plus member. I also read somewhere that if you earn £150 or more cashback in one year then it is more advantageous to be a Plus member. Is that right?

I would also be interested to hear how much people have made with cashback websites (if you are willing to disclose it). I am trying to assess if they are worth it. From what I understand I have lost out by about £300 in the last year by not using them with: 1) BT Broadband; 2) BT Mobile; 3) Ebay and 4) o2.

    MSE article on TCB

    You can choose to pay a £5 membership fee. TopCashback's Plus membership gives a 5% bonus on all cashback rates on its site - eg, a £100 cashback deal would net you £105 as a Plus member.

    Boost returns by 5%. If you choose vouchers instead of cash, you can get up to 7% extra back. Eg, Love2shop vouchers come with a 6% 'bonus'.

    Trade cashback for Tesco Rewards. You can trade in £10 of cashback for 1,050 Tesco Clubcard points (worth £10.50 in-store, or up to £42 in Tesco Rewards). But you can only swap a maximum of £50 TopCashback earnings for Tesco points per year – that's up to £210 in Rewards. For more info, see the Tesco Clubcard guide.

    Earn cashback in-store. TopCashback has followed Quido and now offers cashback on certain purchases made in-store, see below for more detail
