    I ordered from Domino's recently, and remembered to screenshot the pop-up that appears. This is what it looks like on Android:
    The ongoing cost isn't hidden, but it's after the button. Also the "cashback" isn't paid immediately; you get it after your next Domino's order.
    As you've shown, it's clear that you are opting to pay £18.00 per month.
    Some people just don't read.

    Interesting that they use the £ symbol everywhere during the ordering process except when it comes to the subscription amount where it is suddenly ‘pounds’ - I would imagine it is a pretty cynical attempt to reduce recognition of what is actually being done as most people would recognise the £ symbol quickly when skirting through text!

    If people are 'skirting through text' over multiple screens while signing up to an obvious subscription service then they only really have themselves to blame.

    It doesn't actually say you are opting to pay £18 a month, rather that you can, it could be read to imply you get the cashback regardless but can also join their membership if you wish.

    Never clicked through on one of these so assuming it's clearer when you do so? 

    I agree with the above that the use of the word "pounds" is misleading, otherwise why do it.

    I disagree.

    It clearly says 'by tapping the above you can get cashback' which to me says if you don't tap it, you don't get cashback.

    I wholeheartedly agree with money be claimed back if individuals never used the reward scheme at all, however I will say that you hand over your personal credit card detail and bank details to subscribe in the first place and have to agree to all the T&C’s so people should be more careful on what they are committing to. I signed up with intention May 2023 and I’ve earned £2942.10 so far without spending money, as you get back your monthly subscription fee which may be £15.00, £18 or £20.50 as it’s increased since 2023, I claim my £15 subscription back start of each month when I purchase something from one of their partner sites. The max you can get is £250 for £2500 spending, I’ve only managed that once, but it’s easy when you know how. 

    Since my post on page 8  12/11/24 where I earned £1972 from CS, now 3/9/25 I’ve earned another £1k without paying them a penny. So £2972 and we just booked another big holiday through Travel Republic so another £250 to come for September earnings and I’ll defer any claims that don’t track to claim in October to maximise what I earn next month.
