I agree with littleowls I think it is far more engaging and exciting than cashback.
They have a £2000 TUI gift card up for grabs it's had 96 entries in most cases i would swap the cashback for entry in to this.0 -

And that is how they sucker people into it, if you are happy to give up your possible cash back in exchange for say 10% of its value to use on draw tickets, although certainly not moneysaving that is your choice.
Even if it was not possible to earn 5, 10, 15% cash back and nowhere paid more than 1%, if you could get 1% on all your spending that's like getting a 1% pay rise, something many people would be grateful for.0 -
I got annoyed enough with them to block them beaches they kept commenting on old expired competition posts on Facebook advertising new “free to enter” competitions that actually weren’t free as you needed credits.
Spamming my notifications because I’d liked and commented on a previous comp post is a. Sry good way of ensuring I avoid your company and don’t provide you with any further free advertising. In fact I’ll tell people you’re spammy as a warning;to avoid you.0 -
I agree with everything mjm3346 and the other posters against them say and I would much rather have the money in my pocket.
If I had gambled what I have had through cashback sites then between Topcashback and Quidco I would have lost over £3,100 on the off chance that I might have won a prize.
I'm also going to block them as I too am fed up of them spamming my notifications.0 -

Again i understand what you are saying with regards to Cashback but look at Boom25 for example they have 250,000+ users so there is a lot of people that would prefer to use an alternative to Cashback sites.
So it is a daft comment when a company uses several old posts to spam a facebook user with notifications rather than use new posts. Nothing daft at all in not wanting to be spammed by a page that advertises free to enter competitions then you go to their page and you need to buy from their advertised sellers to earn credits to enter their prize draws. My facebook my rules and if I want to block a company from spamming me then that is exactly what I will do.
Free means free not purchase neccessary as there is nothing free about having to buy something to be able to enter their draw.
What I wonder is your interest in all this having been a member since 2014 but only 4 comments and all regarding kerching 3 on this thread and one on a thread you started about kerching and no other interaction on mse whatsoever anywhere on the site.
Are you connected to Kerching in any way and could this be some kind of self promotion?0 -

One big difference with Boom25 and the "Kerching" site is there is no messing around with prize draws, people have exchanged their potential cashback so every 25th customer wins the cost of their order back (up to £20,000).
I think "Kerching" probably appeals to the sort of person who joins an online lottery syndicate because they get a share in lots of tickets for their money - if they checked they would find that in many cases 20p or less from every £1 is spent on tickets and 80p or more goes on expenses, including incentives to existing [STRIKE]fools[/STRIKE] members to drag more punters in.0 -

Well said and with boom25 you are entered into the draw no matter how much you spend whereas with kerching you have to spend up to £50 over up to 10 transactions just to get the one entry into the prize draw.
An example where it is a complete rip off is say you booked a holiday with Thomas Cook and spent £2,000 to Florida with topcashback that would earn you £100 whereas going through kerching it would give you only 1 credit which would only get you an entry into the prize draw to win 30 kerching credits. I know which option I would choose and that would be topcashback every time.0 -

I was going to ask you the same question as there seems to be 3 people criticising the company but yet they always seem to post within 30 minutes of each other???
I would also argue along the same lines that it is their Facebook page and they are free to post whatever they like on it.
I don't appreciate been called a fool because i prefer this type of site over boring cashback sites which you hardly earn any Cashback on.
I think that you will find that you were the one throwing insults accusing people of making daft comments because they have a different opinion to what you do.
Yes they are free to post whatever they want on their facebook page no-one is disputing that just the same as I do not have to put up with being spammed with notifications but I do not take kindly to being accused of making a daft comment because I have blocked them from spamming me with notifications that I have no interest whatsoever in.
As I said what is your interest in this company seeing as you are quite clearly criticising my point of view because I would rather not be spammed.0 -

"Boring Cashback" I don't think moneysaving is for you.
With no contract sign ups/utility switches etc and with every individual transaction under £60 I have earned nearly £1,000 in total for myself and charity with boring cashback and some of their completely free competitions .0 -
This turned nasty quick!
I personally like the site and have used it a few times now, My niece won a Amazon voucher and has received it already, so the payouts are a lot quicker than Cashback.
I get the appeal of using Cashback sites and have tried a few times but can not for the life of me get in the habit of using them all the time, a site like Kerching suits me more.
People are saying he site is not free but it is if you only use it when you are going to shop anyway and not just shop for the sake of entering.
I would suggest that englishwelshie & mjm3346 maybe the same person based on the fact that they keep posting around the same time0
