The Cashback for Bank or Investment Accounts Discussion Thread

Limited access saver tracked immediately, and showing £25 on TCB.

Should I try an open easy access again, or raise a ticket with TCB? I still have the OLA ref number saved.

Topcashback website link for Santander Easy Access Saver still hanging but works using the Topcashback App on an iPad. Account opened and tracked on Topcashback within about 10 minutes.

TCB pay out
I'm new to TCB and now find I have money ready to be paid out. I see I can have cash paid to my bank or have gift cards, do you get a better deal if you go the gift card route. I see on the gift cards things like 3% cash back, how does that work exactly.

I just wanted to thank the person that posted the latest Santander offers in the regular saver thread yesterday. I’ve now opened 3 new accounts and they have all tracked on TCB. Many thanks!

Basically you just get an uplift of the cash payout value if you choose a gift card. Personally I never bother (at least since the days when you could exchange for Tesco clubcard vouchers...), and a lot of cashback merchants specify you have to get paid in cash anyway, but if there is something specific you would buy with one of the gift card retailers then it's a way to squeeze a bit more value out...

If you want a gift card instead of Paypal or bank transfer, first you have to transfer payable balance to "Reward Wallet" under payout; https://www.topcashback.co.uk/account/payments/ ;

Then in www.topcashback.co.uk/account/payments/rewardwallet you request a voucher. But be aware, the transfer to Reward Wallet is irreversible, and the vouchers have different minimum sums to claim.

I’ve opened an Easy Access and Limited Access Saver via TCB, so that’s 2 lots of £25 from TCB and is it also 2 £10 Amazon vouchers or will I only get 1 of those?

Santander Savings - Kids Pass

Seems that you qualify for one of these if you put £100 into a newly opened account - has £39.99 value apparently.

Anyone redeemed this offer? No idea what it is/how it works. Worthwhile (if you have kids I assume?).

Is the thing transferrable? Can I just send someone the code and they get to signup?

The T&Cs are less than crystal.

Pretty sure that the T&Cs said only one across whatever accounts. Although if I could have got the screen to work I would have tried it multiple times anyway, I've had plenty of errors in my favour over the years...
