Cahoot / TopCashback

Many thanks to the poster who first mentioned this.

I applied for a new Simple Saver and Sunny Day Saver through TopCashback last night. Received almost immediate confirmation from Cahoot that both had been set up successfully, and my Cahoot account shows they have indeed been added to my collection of Simple and Sunny Day Savers.

My TopCashback dashboard correctly shows £25 cashback as 'pending' for the Simple Saver. However, unaccountably, the Sunny Day Saver isn't showing.  Instead they seem to think I applied for a Santander Edge Explorer current account (which I didn't) which has £0 cashback pending!

Ticket raised.

Santander Explorer doesn't get cashback on TCB just to thicken the plot!!!

Exactly the same for me and a few others
I’m yet to contact TCB to query

I have just opened a Cahoot Simple Saver via TCB, put £1 in, it tracked immediately @ £25. Account is showing on Cahoot

Didn't try a Sunny Day Saver as I have quite a few already.

Just did exactly the same thing with same outcome. I always use Topcashback and this is a no brainer. Thanks to the OP too.

How many Cahoot accounts of each are "allowed" then? Mine also shows a £25 on a newSS opened today> How do I get this money? They have not asked for any bank details (though I do have existing TCB a/c)

I couldn't find Cahoot on the list, opened Santander instead, hopefully will get £20 for it.  How come everyone can see Cahoot on the list, but I can't? I don't really need any more Cahoots, just curious why I can't see what others can.

Have noticed differences in offers between my account and my partners, although that was on grocery shopping.

One each, according to the T&Cs. The systems don’t enforce the T&Cs, though. 

There is a good chance a human will have a look at your account before the cashback gets authorised. For that reason, I am passing on these particular cashback offers. Sleeping 🐕🐕 and all that……

I moved from Chase to Ulster for the 4.5%, not sure I can be bothered with the extra ffaff of opening a Zopa account for an extra 0.25%. Both are variable with a top up rate for 12 months. Who knows where we will be in 6 months time with either.

Why do you not have the Zopa CA/RS already? No hard search and £300/mth 7.1% RS. What's not to like?

Because I have Regular Savers with Monmouthshire (7% and 6% £1500 per month), First Direct (7% £300), Co-op (7%, £250), Nationwide (6.5% £200), BofS & Halifax (£250 x 2, 5.5%) and Santander (£200, 5%). So by cycling money from an easy saver into those each month and as I am retired now I still need to live and have money to move from the easy saver to my current account each month. I know that the Zopa is 7.1% but come on, there becomes a point when you have to say I'm happy with what I have and I cannot honestly be bothered chasing the extra 0.1% or 0.25% percentages.

There are other things to be getting on with in life. I know this is a money saving website but I think I'm doing ok and I'm not losing a second of sleep in missing out on a few extra quid of interest.

Whilst I do agree to a point, it takes moments to open a Zopa biscuit account with immediate access to a 7.1% RS. I too am in my pasture years, but why let 7.1% go when it's easily accessible?
