Useful free cashback finder tools

This free cashback finder tool is very useful - http://www.freetrialsandcash.com/cashback_finder.htm. It searches all of the cashback deals available from 10 of the biggest cashback sites, so whenever you want to search for an offer you can use this tool, and it will tell you which of those sites is currently offering the best deal with that particular retailer.

MSE also has it’s own tool that does the same thing - http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/cashback-sites-comparison/ covering 12 cashback sites. I’ve just compared them and the good news is that only 5 cashback sites are included on both of them.

That means you can just use these 2 tools each time you want to search for an offer and have 17 cashback sites covered. That must be pretty much all of them I should imagine, or all of the decent ones at least.

Incidentally though, avoid The Mobile Outlet, that offers cashback on mobile phone contracts. I’ve had all kinds of problems with them not paying me what they owe me, and have had to resort to taking them to the small claims court using the HMCS Money Claim Online thing!

hmm interesting, the first one doesn't have either of the two I use (Quidco and pigsback)

The MSE tool seems to be down at the moment, but I'm sure I remember it including Quidco among its searches, so you'll have that one covered. Can't remember about Pigsback, but I don't think it did actually cover them either; I guess you'll have to still check that site individually. Maybe one of these sites will starts including it at some point.

I've had problems with Mobile Outlet not paying too; I would strongly suggest everyone give them a wide berth. I've used a couple of mobile phone cashback companies before without any problem (can't remember their names now for the life of me), but Mobile Outlet are cowboys. Have a read of this:

I would suggest anyone thinking of signing up for a mobile cashback offer do some research into the cashback company first.

PS No, MSE's cashback tool doesn't cover Pigsback either.

Further to my previous post, I found out this morning that Mobile Outlet have now gone into administration. You can read about it on their website: http://www.themobileoutlet.co.uk.

I'm assuming this means that all is lost for those of us that are owed money by this joke of a company - "As administrators, we are not in a position to pay amounts due by the Company in respect of contractual obligations entered into prior to our appointment."

It does however say "Please send a detailed statement of any amount due to you at the date of our appointment", and "We are required to send you a statement of...our views as to how the purpose of the administration can best be achieved", so maybe we'll get something out of it.

Anyone know anything else about this?

The best cashback finder I've come across is this one

That site does look very useful. I've not come across that one before; results of a company search aren't particularly well laid out (spread over a number of pages for example), but it's got far and away the most sites covered.

That does indeed look better; keep up the good work!
