    You do not tick any box to sign up to this company.
    What you do is accept a offer for cashback at a retailer Argos, trainline, ebay are 3 that trip straight of the top of my head.
    I have known them refund 3 months with no issue, then anything further they want to send something out. I have known 5 years refunded in the past.

    2 years ago it was a simple case of clicking on the offer box & fill in email address, they get card details from retailer.
    She has no recollection of giving her account details separately to wly*, so that is why I wondered if - at the time - all that had to be done was effectively tick an additional box to sign up to the free month offer of savings with them.
    Anyhoo, lesson learnt.
    It is not a saving acc. All they are is a site that you go to and clicking on retailers links from their site can give you discounts or cash back.

    As I saids there is no tick box. It is a simple case of clicking on a link after a purchase is made at hundreds of retailers that simply says "Have XX cash back on us" within that is the fact that you are agreeing to CompleteSave taking £15 a month for their services.

    They are a good company to deal with in terms of getting funds back. They are another company that we deal with a lot. People always say. Never signed up to them, but when you go back and check their accounts I can always tell them which purchase it was that they made and how they signed up.

    How prominent is this notification?
    Very.... 

    Next time you make a online purchase look out for a offer of cashback on a future purchase. Then check it out.

    Then the fact that they tell you prominently that you will be paying £15.00 per month shouldn't have been missed.
