Cashback!!

Everything you need to know about cashback!

Using cashback sites when you do shopping online and even instore can save you tens or hundreds of pounds. The following is a detailed guide of everything you need to know.

How do cashback sites work?

Cashback sites make deals with large companies, where everytime someone visits their site, or makes a purchase on their site, they'll pay the CB site. The CB sites track everytime someone makes a purchase via their site, and claim off the company paid. They in turn split some of the money made, with the member of the site. Its a win win situation. The link on the site normally sends you straight to the retailer one wanted to access, and with a couple extra clicks, one has bagged oneself a percentage or a fixed amount back, of the money spent. Its worth doing everytime one buys something online, whether its flights, clothes, gadgets and practically everything.

Although, think of the money earned as a bonus, as very often it can take a while till it tracks and gets paid out. If for some reason it doesn't track after a couple of days, one can fill out a claim form and it normally gets righted in no time.

Which cashback site to use?

There are two main big CB sites, Quidco & Topcashback. They offer cashback offers on most of the big retailers, and they each compete with their own exclusive offers. But they both offer Highest Cashback Guarantees, with T' & C's.

They both offer many bonuses around the year. And varying sign up bonuses. At the moment Topcashback are offering £5 sighup bonus.

All cashback earned can be withdrawn in a variety of ways including Paypal, with a minimal payout threshold.

You can boost cashback on both sites up to 8/10% by getting cashback in form of gift vouchers. Additionally they both offer some form of In-Store cashback scheme.

And just don't forget to check out their Free Cashback page, where one can earn cashback for free, using compare sites, taking out free trials and the like. ( Please note: cashback like this might not be eligible for receiving your bonus).

P.S. Some companies pay more cashback than the product itself costs. Pay attention. Cashback offers waver the whole time.

The are other cashback sites, some with a twist.

○ Kidstart. Kidstart's idea is that you save money on shopping online, and the cashback you earn goes into your child's future. Save into whichever bank, building society or child savings account you have set up. Alternatively you can set it up to go into your own account.

One big advantage is that they pay cashback on sites like Amazon, Ebay and other sites, which most other cashback sites have stopped supporting a long time ago.
