At the top of most pages are affiliate adverts. The purpose of these is to help this site become self sustaining and provide benefit to the reader. The sites on the banner rotation are ones I use or am testing. The aim of this guide is to better explain what they are and how you can get the most value out of them.
Essentially, TopCashback get money for sending you to various shops and businesses (such as eBay) and they give you back a tiny amount of it. Before you go to an online shop, you go to TopCashback first, log in and click on a special link which records your visit to the online shop. They now have a browser add-on and an phone app to make this even easier!
⚠️ It should be noted that things such as blocked cookies, security software and internet hiccups may result in a purchase not getting counted for cash back. Any cash back should be seen as a bonus for something you would normally buy and not guaranteed. Always shop around too! ⚠️
| Shop | Spend | Over a year | % Cashback | Money back |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Iceland (Weekly shop) | 52x £100 | £5200 | 1% | £52 |
| eBay (Monthly gifts) | 12x £30 | £360 | 1% | £3.6 |
| Argos (New TV / Appliance) | 2x £200 | £400 | 3% (Tech) | £12 |
The above figures do not take into account any new user bonuses or specials offers that may be running. Other expenses such as Insurance, Broadband and Breakdown cover have bigger cash back amounts which likely explains the site's claim that members can earn up £300.
Their communication levels can be configured so you do not get hundreds of emails and they pay out in a variety of ways including PayPal.
In general, if you are planning on buying something online, it is worth checking if TopCashback has an offer for the particular retailer.
