    £10 000 in cashback ??
    I don't believe you.

    Perfectly feasible.

    I have just under £4000 another £60 received this week.

    And I only started using cashback sites in 2014. Believe TCB started in 2005?

    Not sure about Quidco? but use that as well.

    I use it for all the purchases that I can.

    That's up to you. I see you have over 3k posts on MSE so clearly a regular, so I'm surprised you find it so unbelievable. But there we go.

    No one has to prove anything to you, believe it or don’t. I’m at a similar figure.

    I have no idea how many posts I have on MSE & couldn't care less.
    So tell us how much you have spent to achieve that unbelievable figure ??

    I stopped using both Quidco and Topcashback because it takes too long to get your money back.

    Does it really matter how long it takes, as if it was things you were buying anyway what difference does it make.

    It takes too long to get the bonus money, that you never had to start with?

     That you have now decided, you do not want it because you have to wait?  :s

  • It appears that some more unscrupulous companies are deciding not to honour cashback offers on technicalities that cannot be proven. It had to happen I suppose, especially in the current trading climate. I'd rather save 5% elsewhere than risk a 10% cashback offer.
  • Just paid half of an expensive 32" monitor using topcashback. Not every transaction goes through, occasionally a retailer refuses to pay.., not TCB's fault.  But its rare that it doesn't go through.  I gave no cash (from my pocket) to TCB and got a couple of hundred back this year.  Sounds good to me.

    Here are my current figures.  
    TCB   £1,663.70
    Quidco  £3,547.13

    In the early days you could get hundreds back with easy money from the the betting and casino firms.  It was money for next to nothing.  That has been tightened up in recent years but there is still easy money to be made.  Got back £250 from Shepherds Friendly this year by having an ISA with them for 5 months.  Got the cashback, withdrew the money.  Shepherd value had dropped by £50 but still an easy £200 profit for doing nothing.  £10 000 achieveable if you use the cashback for all your insurances.  I don't any more as I find the quotes if you go through TCB etc to be inflated now.
