I gave up with them. My money is stuck there unless I do internet spend of which you get more through TCB. I did try once and it never tracked. Not worth the effort..2025 decluttering: 3,984🌟🥉🌟💐🏅🏅🌟🥈🏅🌟🏅💐💎🌟🏅🏆🌟🏅

*Cough* You have to manually confirm the transaction by emailing them the order confirmation, so I, er, might have gone through ZipZero, then gone through TopCashBack and had the cashback from both....🤐Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

P.S. They also do cashback on Amazon, which TopCashBack don't do. As my Amazon spending is only ever vouchers I've earned from surveys, I actually make a profit from it!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

No you weren't - you did enough exploring of your local area for 6 months of goals! You can't do everything all the time - and life would be boring if you didn't end up out of balance sometimes. You smashed your savings goal *and* had fun - I think that's win!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Definitely been a bit harsh, although I am disappointed that there’s been no photos of famous people in old crime dramas and absolutely no mention of midsummer murders making its way back on the screen 😂2025 decluttering: 3,984🌟🥉🌟💐🏅🏅🌟🥈🏅🌟🏅💐💎🌟🏅🏆🌟🏅
