I rarely use this app now. You have to wait way too long for a payout, sometimes in the case of Expedia many months. The whole process is too longwinded. And if a cashback doesn't track, that only adds to the delays. In these inflationary times, you want to spend the money now.

Hey T D,

It's disappointing you feel that way. With expedia, like other holiday retailers the longest way is usually the wait between booking at staying at the hotel. It generally then takes a few weeks for the confirmation of the stay to reach expedia and then finally reach us.

I appreciate if expecting immediate earnings of cashback payable, or expecting it in a couple of days or a weeks may mean disappointment when it takes longer than this, but this wait time is what allows retailers to be confident that the purchases were leading are all legit and meet all the terms.

This in turn means bigger and better cashback rates. We hear quite a number of our members save up all their cashback for specific points in the year such as Christmas, family holidays etc and that focus means when they do come to pay out they see a nice large chunk of cashback towards this. Of course, everyone uses us in different ways and others pay out as it becomes payable and we'll continue to ensure this happens for you as soon as we have earned that money from the retailers.

Hey Glenn,

Thanks for your honest feedback. I'm sorry to hear you have encountered a few issues with your purchases tracking, if you're not already if you try clearing cookies and cache before using our site, as well as double checking the retailer terms this should put you in good stead to improve your tracking.

Free Piggy Bank

If you don't have a TopCashBack Account then you don't know what you are missing...every time you buy something, log into the TopCashBack app and start accumulating free money which you can use to purchase a wealth of vouchers for a lot of popular highstreet and/or Internet stores.

I feel you get offered some of the best cashback rates in the marketplace from hundreds of businesses, retailers or other service providers.
I do however feel TopCashback needs to do more market research in relation to what they are offering, because there are frequent occasions whereby competitors such as Quidco are offering enhanced rates to those who choose to purchase through them.
It is also disappointing no cashback is offered for either Amazon or Superdrug purchases and these are two household name providers.

Hey Martin,

Thank you for your very valuable feedback. We do promise and gurantee our members the highest possible rates and so if you do see higher elsewhere, be sure we will match and beat this under our highest cashback gurantee.

In addition to run things like our regular bonuses too.

We're always continuing to increase the retailers on site and be assured that Superdrug is now back on site :)

Fantastic service!
January 6, 2023

I am really impressed with the overall service that I have received over the years from Topcashback, their cashback amounts are very fair and they are easy to deal with. They have a huge range of brands to choose from and their customer service is efficient and excellent too. Whenever I have had a query the team have been super helpful and friendly too which is great. I have managed to earn £1000 cashback on purchases so far including car insurance purchases and other standard products too. Fantastic service and I would highly recommend!

Great customer service
January 3, 2023

I recently had problems with signing into my account and so I emailed customer service and they replied within 24hrs (this was over the Christmas period so I was amazed by the speed of the response!). The next few emails that were sent in an attempt to resolve the issue came through with rapid succession, and It was all sorted out in just over a day! Fantastic, thank you!

Worthless service that feels like a scam. You get notifications instantly of the amount of cash back you earn on each showing you the total amount of accumulated cash back plus £15 cash back bonus to entice you to keep using it then. But app seems to forget the cash back part of the business.

Money sits on the account for a ridiculously amount of time and just before the payment is due for withdrawal the payment is declined with no explanation and money accumulated is never withdrawn. And I have still yet to be the £15 bonus for 12 months and it just sits there, while they charge you a £5 fee for doing nothing. It seems like a data mining scam, selling your data for money and offering you nothing in return. Will delete the app as I got it through work.

Hey,

It's disappointing you feel this way about our site.

The money will stay at pending for a little bit, that's while the retailer checks whether we're eligible for the commission we share with you as cashback. The time will vary from weeks to a few months in the case of large long term purchases like holidays booked in advance and long term insurance policies.

Due to the amount of payout methods we offer, we want you to choose how best to withdraw this and so it's totally up to you when you with to withdraw this and the £5 deduction you mention is totally optional. Our enhanced members with this deduction get higher cashback rates and other bonuses, those who don't want this can switch any time they want after joining. This can be done via the membership section of your account.

Finally, the £15 you mention likely has criteria it needs to meet payable - usually a purchase where you spend £15 or more. But feel free to reach out to my team at [email protected] or through customer service on your account and they will be more than happy to check on that for you.

Best wishes,
Matt

Excellent!
December 2, 2022

Today I DM'd TopCashBack regarding a CONFIRMED amount which was still outstanding.

Phil responded very quickly and has arranged to change this amount to PAYABLE.

Very impressed with the responses, the professionalism and of course, the outcome.

Much appreciated and an excellent experience.

Fast delivery but no cashback
December 2, 2022

I ordered a game for the ps4 from tcb and while the delivery was safe, quick and only took a day to get here, the site said I had 16 pounds in cashback once the retailer confirms my purchase, the order has arrived so has my delivery confirmation email but the cashback waiting still says pending not payable. I hope we can work this out because other than that it's a great site.

Hey Charlie,

I hope by now the retailer has confirmed us as eligible for the commission so we could pass this on to you in your payable section. If not, please do reach out to my team at [email protected] and they will be more than happy to review your purchase and look into the options available to us.

Honest review
November 27, 2022

I've been with TopCashback for three years now and they have been a very great website as the customer service try to solve your cash back problems but some are out of their control because some times other companies that pay the cash back forget to pay the cash back providers as it happened to my cash back got stuck after almost 2 years and just noticed but TopCashback offered to give me the cash back from their own funds so that was great but yes I know sometimes the amounts and they offer are not always brilliant but they try to get the highest cash back amount if not they will price match it and sometimes add a little bit to boost the rate for 0.05% on top or more plus I know the time to get the cash back is long sometimes but at least you don't have to pay a fee to withdraw your cash back at any time and to make it even better you can can get a bonus up to 15% on gift card plus this is a free website too so don't get greedy this is Sam still shop though TopCashback when they have deals like their monthly £2 cashback for free on spend of 5 or more you can't go wrong if you are getting some already but if not please don't buy something because you get free £2 anyway this is my review with my experience to TopCashback from Sam

Don't bother
November 14, 2022

A lot of hassle for very little benefit. Wasted 8 months waiting for £150 cash back and it got declined for no reason by the retailer. Unable to even contact Topcashback as their support ticket form is so specific, you can't just click'other issue' Really angry. Total waste of time

Hi Laura,

Our support ticket feature does have a 'other' category for you to select.

That said it sounds like a declined claim is needed so we can go to the retailer and ask why they refused to award us the cashback. If you do need help raising that please do reach out.

We really don't want to decline cashback and the only reason we'll do is if we've been told the commission due to us has been refused.

Topcashback is in my opinion the best cashback site and if there is a problem they are quick to sort it if they can.
I had a perceived problem with Confused.com and one of their advisors, called Liberty was straight on to it and put my mind at rest. Excellent, friendly attitude

I work in IT so know all about tracking and cookies and how these sites work. I am now finding that there's a regular pattern that cash back that's only pennies tends to track without fail. However when you start getting into cash back that's £sss then here's where things start to get odd. I have been using top cash back for 2 years and mostly large amounts mysteriously get declined. Suspicions were alerted to the latest one when I booked our entire holiday through TopCashback. The cash back was £219 so a big one. I was surprised to see the cash a k track firstly at all but it did, then shortly after I got the email stating this had tracked and now was confirmed and I just now had to wait for it to become payable. I checked my account and there it was sitting in my account £219 cash back. Surprised to say the least. But here's where it gets dodgy. The following day TopCashback email me to tell me it's been declined by the retailer even though I have the previous email saying the retailer has confirmed the cash back and it has been showing as confirmed in my account for the past 24 hours. What I see here is large payments getting confirmed and TopCashback not passing them on as this clearly shows it was confirmed by the retailer. I think this big payment slipped past top cash back and they noticed too late yet still took it back and now they trying to tell me it's the retailer who declined it.

Hi Ian,

Both small and large cashback amounts are equally as important to us.

As a site, we wouldn't have been able to grow the level of support we have if we only passed on the smaller amounts of cashback. It would also be not innkeeping with our own fair play policy.

It doesn't sound quite that your claim was approved and then declined right after and so if you could either reach out on your claim or via [email protected] and we will check that out for you.
