You have to take Cashback sites as a bit of a game, as payments aren't guaranteed, and if they do show, can take months to turn up in your account.

The two I use are Quidco and Topcashback. I thought in the begining it was a bit of a marketing scam, and I would be inundated with spam emails. In truth, I get less than 1 a week.

If you shop online, you just logon to the cashback site first, and use that to forward you on to the site you would be using anyway. Mobile phone contracts, utility providers, seem to be the big erners. But, ebay and even amp3 are there too.

I take my earnings in Amazon vouchers. They email the voucher number, and I register it on Amazon. £144 this year so far, on stuff that I would normally buy. I'm treating it as Christmas savings.

Not usually bothered with the cashback that are pennies but have used Quidco recently. Accumulated £70 through a couple of purchases and waiting for cashback from a new pay monthly mobile phone of £50 and a BT vision + broadband sign up of £100 so the numbers can be worthwhile for certain stuff.

When i did the phone I should get £50 quidco cashback and got 17months cashback on a £30 contract linked from quidco to mobiles.co.uk (which is carphonewarehouse anyway) so works out i will have payed around £7 pm for the contract.
As mentioned it can takes months to refund you but there is also the ability to raise an enquiry online to get the claim investigate so isnt that hard to chase it.

Used quidco for a few things and just view it a bit like sneaky savings - I know I won't get it back for a couple of months so when it comes through then that's the next night out paid for :-)
