Question about these cashback sites....??

dreemgirl

Ive read all the articles on martins site, watched his tv programme about these CASHBACK SITES like topcashback, quidco and pigsback etc. Even signed up for them all as think its an excellent way of saving money and the sites on there i could really benefit from them! But... it all seems to good 2 be true, the savings are like £75 back for house ins etc.. What makes me worried to go ahead and use these moneyback sites is....That u have to go to the website ur buying off directed from them, i feel very concerned in doing this as all ur personal details are given especially like insurance info, then paying online, just the thought to me its not the direct link to the site, slightly scares me!
Can anyone put my mind at rest, im sure loads of u out there use them loads

I think everyone initially thinks 'too good to be true'. I joined topcashback in September and via prudential got my husband's car insurance complete with breakdown cover for -£2 and my own a month later including breakdown cover through prudential for £34!!!!! Money takes about 2.5 months to come through (we got ours in December, just in time for Xmas) without any hitch. At the time we got our insurances it was £130 cashback on each of the policies - I think it is now about £90 on offer from the pru). We both have a zero excess and protected no claims (1996 1.6 Vectra and a 2002 Nissan Almera Tino 2.2td)

Am currently waiting for £80 via Churchill insurance and Quidco for our contents insurance taken out at the end of February. Strangely, when I did the contents insurance it made £20 reduction on the policy price when I put my husband's details first and then a further £20 reduction in the premium when I upped the insured amount from their standard rate by £3000 (Churchill insurance); don't know why this would happen, but it is worth playing about with the figures.

Cannot fault it. We have recommended it to so many of our friends. Bite the bullet and get the cashback!

....But dont u worry about not using the direct site to go through rather than through these cashback sites, i just worry as lots of personal info on there, i know u get all that moneyback, but they also have all ur info if they need too, especially like when doing an insurance quote etc, im just dubious??

Even though you are accessing the sites from Quidco etc, you are going directly to the site and the cash back sites have no access to your personal details as far as i`m aware. I presume they get credited by the companies for sending you there

Topcashback is good.

Cashbackkings is good.

Quidco are rubbish. They made a big play about offering 50 quid for betfair and appear to be reneging on the deal. But did they actually receive the money and are they holding out on everyone?

The cashback sites get no details other than what you've entered on the cashback site itself.

http://www.cashbackguide.org
is a good site to compare offers from all the cashback sites.

For most of us Betfair arent due to pay the 50.00 until the end of this month so IMO best for people to reserve judgement until then.

Re: Cashbackkings, many people including myself (s) have enquiries for non trackers so again IMO best to reserve judgement on CBK until the result of these tickets are known.

One difference between CBK and Quidco is that when u put a non tracking enquiry to CBK initial response from CBK is nothing at all.

Not heard a word. ( at least quidco send an automated response)
