Cashback websites
Cashback websites have been around a few years now, but still not everyone knows about them, or at least isn't convinced. But they do work, and there's no risk anyway so why not use them?
Also, quite a lot of money can be made from not spending a penny, so check out No Spend Offers for a guide to making free cash.
At the moment, there are quite a few around, so here's a quick round-up (based on my opinion) of a few of the main ones:
Topcashback (my personal favourite)
Good Stuff:
- Nice, user-friendly website, with clearly defined links for no spend/recurring earners
- Lots of merchants
- Competitive rate of cashback
- Reliable tracking
- Plenty of no spend offers
- Free to sign-up
- Referral rewards
Bad Stuff:
- Nothing really, Quidco sometimes offer more
Good Stuff:
- Lots of Merchants
- Competitive rate of cashback
- Plenty of no spend offers
- Reliable tracking
Bad Stuff:
- The main is they take the first £5 you earn
- Recurring earners and no spend offers have no identifiable links
- No referral reward
Good Stuff:
- Decent amount of retailers
- Somewhat reliable tracking
- Massive amount of no spend/recurring earners
- Free to sign-up
- Referral Rewards
Bad Stuff:
- Lower rate of cashback compared to top 2
- Not entirely dependable tracking
- Less merchants
Good Stuff:
- Quite competitive cashback rates
- Decent amount of merchants
- Free to sign-up
Bad Stuff:
- Horrid, cluttered, tacky website
- Not very reliable tracking
- Lower cashback rates and amount of merchants compared to Topcashback and Quidco
Good Stuff:
- Errrrrrr....
Bad Stuff:
- Although they 'give you' a £10 sign-up bonus, you can't pay out any cash until you get to £40
- Tracking seems utterley undependable
- Low cashback
- Low amount of merchants
If you were going to stick with one, I would go with Topcashback, but it's probably worth having a Quidco account as well, as they do offer more cashback from certain retailers.
*tracking – when a merchant is clicked on, and a sale/registration etc. is followed through successfully, then it should register on your cashback account and you can see it i.e. it has tracked.
