    Whilst I realise that the way Complete Savings secures sign-ups can be a tad unethical, I have personally benefited hugely from being a member. To date, I’ve earned back just under £4,500 - only this week I received £150 cashback for a TV I purchased at AO.

    This company gets a lot of flack, but in my experience, it’s actually better than the other two major cashback sites (Quidco and TopCashback). Their minimum 10% cashback is usually far superior to what the others offer, especially for large purchases, and I find the tracking and payout much quicker. Getting the £18 membership fee refunded is a doddle, and the 20% monthly discount on Argos gift cards is an additional perk.

    With any of these sites, you need to put in the time to stay on top of the benefits and ensure you don't get caught out, but if you do, the returns are significant.

    Don't think anyone has ever questioned the benefits that can accrue from a properly run Complete Savings account.

    But their sign-up tactics are downright deceptive (says the ASA).

    Why not just advertise and market the same way as the other cashback firms? I suggest that it's because it's a subscription-based model and they realise that no-one would actually sign up unless they landed on their site by subterfuge, deceit or accident.
