    Cash back sites - who's the best?

    Just after consensus about the different cash back sites, .e.g. Top cash back, Cash back kings, etc.

    I've found out that Topcashback seem slow to track orders (4 days and counting) with game.co.uk. And this is the second time now its happened, but at least there is no yearly fee.

    No idea about all the other sites, besides Quidco, as I don't fancy registering on all of them.

    Is Quidco the best? As I like how you receive email notification that transaction has tracked.

    No complaints about Topcashback personally... no way I'm paying a fee for this type of thing, couldn't care less what rates they provide. Quidco is £5 per year so is a no-go for me... r points and greasypalms are others I've used, but neither were nearly as reliable as topcashback.

    Re: Cash back sites - who's the best?

    well to be fair £5 'fee' for quidco only applies on the cashback you earn and if you dont earn enough its not deducted, id ony have a problem if it was £5 from my bank account. So far ade £450 fro quidco n 2 years which aint bad as its money saved!.

    QUidco has been the best for me but topcashback is on the sae level as it iirc, just didnt have the time or patients to memorise the site and al that when i already remember quidco instantly >

    Re: Cash back sites - who's the best?

    I don't know who's the best but QuidCo has served me well and I'm more than happy to use them for a third year. Easy to use and they're quick to resolve issues too. Not really interested in switching and others I've recommended it to now swear by it.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Re: Cash back sites - who's the best?

    I've used Quidco and Topcashback and Cashback Kings (the later only for one store the other two do not cover). I see no reason not to check who offers the best rate and go for them, and each of them has paid (eventually - I think the speed demands more on the e-tailer than the cashback site).

    Same here not tried any others but I have no reason to, Quidco has been good for me. Although it can sometimes take ages to get any cash back

    I use quidco. Nice fast site, no problems in the 18 months i've been suing it either.

    Re: Cash back sites - who's the best?

    I've always stuck with Quidco, when I last looked the rates weren't much different across the big names & the extra 10p I'd get from Topcashback/etc could be offset by the fact it would take ages to build up enough to withdraw from said site.

    £5 Quidco fee has never bothered me, earned hundreds over the years so it's no biggie

    I did get screwed out of £10/£20 (can't quite remember) when they advertised one rate but paid me less, I didn't get screenshots of the rate (!!?) so they refused to do anything about it!

    Used r points.com for years and loved it and its excellent forums & community
    but they gave only 50% of the cashback.

    Then quidco.com came along giving your 100% of the cashback, and its sister site hotukdeals.com...

    Re: Cash back sites - who's the best?

    Another +1 for quidco, used them for almost a year now and have got back £150 odd. Couple of the disputes have been settled quickly and can't fault them at all!

    Re: Cash back sites - who's the best?

    I use both quidco and topcashback. Both have been great so far, I prefer quidco's automatic payments, so that the money gets in my account quicker. I've no issues on the £5 fee, for christ sakes its tiny compared to what I've earned with them (Over £1200!).

    I forgot about this thread.

    Interesting to know HotUKdeals is related to Quidco. Most generate a bit of revenue for Quidco, as I never considered joining a cash back site until I visited the deals site.

    Transaction has gone through, but the Game reward card hasn't been included. I imagine this is normal, but would like to know if anyone else has received cash back on Game reward card
