    The cashback offers (from the ones you mention) are: Thorntons 4%, Hotel Chocolate 6%, Wilko 1 %, Dominos 1% and J D Sports 1%.

    Might as well go by Quidco & get 6% :rotfl:

    I went via Top Cashback and got 9%. I was just hoping for extra on top of that.


    It's very very very rare i use Quidco these days. They simply don't compete with TCB.

    .

    You won't get both.
    You are lucky you got the 9% & not the 1% if you went through the Barclays link...

    The whole Blue Rewards scheme is fairly convoluted with the fee and separate Blue Rewards wallet/ quasi-account.

    Once the Double Rewards expire, I'll be off.
    My thoughts too!
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

    Wait till they offer double Blue Rewards again and switch in another account. That's what I did, -I'm on my second lot of double Blue Rewards now. There was no rule that you could only have the double rewards once.

    That is what I did too, my derelict Mr T got switched, however, of course the monthly fee increased. Still, a profit of £10 pm- not to be sneezed at these days! (I also get £1 Blue Reward from Barclaycard but I think that deal was very very shortlived)

    I had gathered that it could be repeated as it was asked with the most recent offer.

    If there is a decent switch scheme with upfront cash, I might even switch out prior to end of of the double rewards. Life is too short to waste time with surly bank staff and unstable IT systems.
