Thanks for the info. I can still get 4% or so discount through my employee rewards but I like to keep an eye out for alternatives.

Tuck is fine, and you can get excellent discounts.

I usually buy gift cards at tuck when the cashback is about 5% - usually you get a scratchcard giving you an enhanced rate on the next purchase if soon, so you build it up. If you spend accumulated cashback on another voucher when at a good rate you increase the effective discount. I like Tuck in particular because the vouchers go onto your phone and you don't forget them in your email.

Cheddar seems to offer periodic 7% at uber which can be used for rail tickets, that's mostly what I use it for.
