There is an offer on TopCashBack for Tesco low-fee balance transfer card. However, all reviews are negative "doesn't pay".  Has anyone had positive experience with them?

    People will normally only send bad reviews / complaints if they don't get it - even if they didn't fulfil the criteria for example, people often don't leave good reviews. With cashback sites you have to be really careful, use a browser like Edge that you don't normally use, don't have add-ons blocking tracking etc and try to order directly what you need - find the details beforehand.

    I had a £25 TCB bonus paid yes

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Yes, I always use the same browser for TopCashBack (chormium, Edge is not an option) - except when I have to use iPad - and most track without issues. It's just Tesco and M&S that went untracked.

    Simply use a new private window in Edge, accept all cookies and it will track just fine - no need for an extra browser

    I have been using Linux only for over 20 years now. Therefore Edge is not an option.
