Our Top Five UK Cashback Sites

Number 1 - Top Cashback

rated 5 gold starsrated 5 gold starsrated 5 gold starsrated 5 gold starsrated 5 gold starsTop Cashback - is now an established cashback site which rewards members with all the commission payment it receives (i.e. 100% cashback rates). There is no bonus on signing up but you can currently receive £1 for referring any friends or family to the site who go on to earn £5. The site does not charge you an annual fee and if you are loyal to the site and earn lots of cashback through the site, you are able to earn cashback top-ups which mean you get even more cashback per transaction (i.e. between 101% and 110% cashback depending on how much cashback you made the previous month). These cashback top-ups are unique to Top Cashback and make it our number one choice as it rewards your loyalty to the site, which is great customer service in our opinion. You need to regularly use Top Cashback and earn the minimum cashback amounts (from £10) each month so that you qualify the following month for the extra cashback payments. It has a very good range of online shops and there are a few 'free' clicks available (where you receive cashback for conducting a price comparison for example). The transactions seem to track well and payment is by paypal or bank transfer once your purchases are confirmed by the retailer. We have been paid several times. Payout by cheque also but you must have made £25 confirmed cashback before claiming this. You can choose to donate a proportion of your cashback to charity or Top Cashback itself. Of course to earn these extra cashback payments. We have also tested their support and have received replies relatively quickly which is a positive sign for an active cashback site.



Number 2 - Cashback Kings

rated 5 gold starsrated 5 gold starsrated 5 gold starsrated 5 gold starsrated 5 gold stars Cashback Kings - is run by the same people who own the successful Rpoints cashback site. Cashback Kings, however, is a 100% cashback site. It is a site which looks like another exciting 100% cashback site as it runs occasional competitions where you can win prizes from retailers you have shopped at for example. You can also earn £1 by referring your friends and family to the site once they have earned their first £5. This is one site that states it will not charge you an annual admin fee which is important and it gives you a wide range of retailers to choose from. We have received and been paid cashback by this site via paypal. you can also get your cashback paid directly into your bank account or opt for Amazon vouchers (a minimum £10 redemption here though). The site does usually have a few daily recurring cashback opportunities for you if you like those too.


Number 3 - iPoints

rated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold stars iPoints - is possibly the best reward website that rewards you in terms of points (ipoints) rather than cash. Furthermore it does much more than just reward you for shopping online and completing various online offers through the site. There are several other interesting point earning opportunities, such as completing quick ipolls on the site, by completing site surveys sent by email to you, for receiving iPoints e-mails, and also websearching with their partner site Webfetch. Although iPoints will not pay out your rewards in the form of cash, it has an excellent online reward catalogue where you can exchange your ipoints for some really great stuff to buy or do. Such rewards are also achievable from a low starting number of points, which is also a good benefit of membership of this site as points generally do seem quite easy to accumulate. We do RECOMMEND this site to be a part of your cashback site portfolio as it is very well-established and provides something a little different to other cashback and reward sites that are available to you.


Number 4 - Click Cashback

rated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold stars Click Cashback - is also a fairly new cashback site which states it will pay you 100% cashback rates and it will no longer charge you an annual admin fee. Payments are made monthly by BACS, cheque or paypal (maximum of £50) whatever your confirmed cashback balance is. There are lots of retailers listed on this cashback site, some of which we have not seen on other sites. The site no longer offers any referral fees for friends or family member you refer to the site, but now runs a monthly prize draw for those who do make referrals.


Number 5 - Quidco

rated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold stars Quidco - is one of the established 100% cashback sites which is relatively popular. It charges you an annual £5 administration fee taken from your cashback account once you have earned enough funds to pay it. It has a good range of competitive cashback offers and the site is nice to use. It sends you your cashback on a monthly basis either by BACS or by paypal. It would be a top rated site if its support was quicker and not so erratic at dealing with queries. You normally do get responses but it can take time. It is a site that tries hard to do what it can for its users and is keen to earn your loyalty, but with all cashback sites, it is best to shop around for the best rates and find the sites that suit you not those that tell you they suit you!






More Good UK Cashback Sites

Number 6 - We Promise To

rated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold stars We Promise To - used to promise to pay you the full 100% cashback and only charge you a £5 annual administration fee once you have enought funds to cover it. Unfortunately it seems that some of its cashback rates have become rather uncompetitive when a quick comparison with the same retailers on other 100% cashback sites seem to indicate that wepromiseto is offering lower commissions in some circumstances. It has therefore been removed from our top five and we are monitoring the site closely with regards to its claims. In spite of this it does have some good and more unique features such as the capability to earn cashback offline at a few major high street shops, plus a feature called Kerchingo where you successfully complete a number of cashback offers and receive a bonus cashback sum for doing so. The site appears professional with a number of promises given and will reward you with a varying referral fee for every friend you refer to the site who goes on to earn £5 in cashback. The site support is excellent and they do respond to queries very quickly. Indeed, we have tested the support ticket desk several times and have received prompt responses, the site promises to respond to enquiries within 8 working hours. Payment is by BACS, or you can receive Amazon vouchers 9and get a 5% bonus for doing so). The site also details lots of regular coupon codes for further retailer discounts. We have received our payments by BACS. Overall a good site, but one which we recommend you compare with other cashback sites to check you are getting a good cashback rate.


Number 7 - Rpoints

rated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold stars Rpoints - gives you the equivalent of £5 (500 Rpoints) as a sign-up incentive which is redeemable once you have earned a further £25 cashback through the site. It is an established cashback website with a decent site design and has an active community too who notify you of various internet offers. It contains maybe the largest number of offers and retailers and gives you various different ways of gaining extra points such as web searches and genuine price comparisons. You can request payment once you reach 100 points, which is equivalent to £1, by BACS or paypal. You can also redeem points for Amazon gift vouchers where 495 points equals £5 worth of voucher. Payment by moneybookers also accepted but you must have a minimum 3000 confirmed points in your account first. This is an active site and one we are monitoring as it has had some good ongoing ideas such as a VIP section with various benefits once you reach the 5000 point mark in any 12 month period. Cashback offers are not 100% but the range and variety can help make up for that a little especially the "free" points for clicks.


Number 8 - GreasyPalm

rated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold starsrated 4 gold stars Greasy Palm - has been a well-established and reliable cashback site for several years having already paid out a large amount of money to its members. It gives you a sign-up bonus of £2.50 and has a wide range of popular retailers and many good offers. It has sections containing special offers where you can earn lots of cashback. It also has sections offering coupon codes giving you savings on certain products and retailers plus a section where members post special deals they have come across and members can earn extra cashback from these. All in all it is still one of the better cashback sites we have used and in our experience has a very good customer service if you have any cashback queries. It's payout level is £25 and is by BACS into your bank account or by Amazon vouchers with a 5% bonus if you choose to redeem your cashback using these. We have received payment promptly twice. Greasypalm now also offers its users the chance of receiving cashback offline at an increasing number of popular high street shops just by registering your debit or credit card safely with the site. The one downside of the site is that the online cashback rates are lower than on some other cashback sites, but if you refer a friend who goes on to earn a specified amount of cashback you can earn yourself an extra £7.


Number 9 - eCashback

rated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold stars eCashback - will give you £2.50 for signing up, a further 10p for making their site your homepagem and a further 20p for installing the eCashback toolbar. The site design is pleasant and easily navigated. They have a wide range of retailers including a few that do not have links on many of the other cashback sites, so this for us can be a good reason to join the site. Unfortunately, the main reason we used this site was for Amazon cashback, but this appears to have been stopped for the time being, which makes the site less attractive to us at present and we have downgraded it to three stars. Their cash back rates are fairly competitive (although not 100% cashback) and they occasionally run special offers of increased cashback for some retailers. If you request it, they will e-mail every time you receive cashback. You can receive easy 1p cash back too for a simple web search through the site where you click on search results. You can also presently earn 3p for every competition you enter on website win4now if you click to that site through ecashback. The payout level is £25 by cheque, paypal, BACS (or Amazon gift certificate), which is high compared to some newer sites, but regular online shoppers can reach this more quickly. It also runs a friend referral scheme where you are rewarded £2 for referring active users to the site (friends that actually earn cashback through the site).


Number 10 - Give or Take

rated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold stars Give or Take - is a fairly new cashback site with a slight difference in that you can donate all of your cashback to a charity listed on the site (of which there are many to choose from) or you can of course choose to take the cashback yourself. The site states that it is a 100% cashback site (passing on all commission it receives from the participating retailers). You will only be charged a £5 annual admin fee should you choose to take the cashback for yourself. The site states no fee will be charged should you Give your cashback to charity. This site is obviously a good choice if you want to donate to charity in such an easy manner. If you take the payment yourself, it is made monthly by cheque once you have at least £25 confirmed cashback funds in your account, or you can choose to set payout at a higher level. It is a nice idea and the design of the site is pleasant and calm. The site does not have a huge number of retailers yet nor any unqiue cashback gimmicks which may make it stand out from other similar sites, but it is one we are watching to see how it develops. It did not start out as a 100% cashback site so that improvement is certainly promising.


Number 11 - Mutual points

rated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold stars Mutual Points - is an established and fairly popular cashback website that rewards you in the form of points when you shop online through the site and complete various free offers. These points are ultimately convertible into cash. They are currently offering you the chance to win a new car if you join the site and you should receive 300 points to get your account up and running. It is a professional site with a large number of opportunities to earn rewards. The site has a good range of free offers and well known shopping partners as well as price comparison points. You can also sign up to receive emails which normally give you five points every time you check out a particular offer (although we have not received one of these for some time). The site 'pays out' when you reach 3000 points, this is the equivalent of £20, by cheque. The cashback rates are not always competitive with the best sites and it is worth comparing them with other cashback sites to ensure you do not miss out. The fact they reward with points can make it difficult to compare so be prepared to do some maths! Nevertheless they do list some retailers not found on many other cashback sites.



Number 12 - Money Back Madness

rated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsMoneyback Madness - is the one of the newer sites. It offers a big £10 sign-up bonus and offers you a further £5 for every friend you refer (check out the site for conditions). Payment occurs once you reach £35 of 'confirmed' cashback by paypal, BACS or cheque. It also advises its members of vouchers to get money off what you buy too. The site has a fun and attractive design, easy navigation, and lots of popular cashback offers. In spite of this however, the cashback rates are not the best you can get, which may make it unattractive to some, although they have increased some to try and stay more competitive.


Number 13 - Cashback Junction

rated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold starsrated 3 gold stars Cashback Junction - is a relatively new site which we recently joined and which appears to offer good cash back rates for some popular shopping chains in almost every category such as fashion, computers, finance and gifts. It does not appear to be a 100% cashback site anymore (it did start out as one) but pays generally higher rates than a lot of other older cashback sites out there. There is no annual admin fee, but no sign up bonus either. For every friend you refer who goes on to request payment you should earn £1.00. Payment is made by BACS or cheque once you have £20 confirmed funds in your cashback junction account. The site design is nice and easy to use, and the site runs a handy blog with useful information on earning cashback and sometimes giving you discount voucher codes.


Number 14 - ebuyandsave

rated 2 gold starsrated 2 gold starsrated 2 gold starsrated 2 gold starsrated 2 gold stars ebuyandsave - claims to be established cashback site of three years which offers you £5 as a sign up bonus. The payout limit is at £15 of 'approved' cashback and the site offers its members 2.5% of the cashback earned by friends they refer to the site for life, which is certainly a nice feature if you have friends who do a lot of shopping online. There are several payment methods including by BACS, cheque or paypal. The site is not particularly easy to use and lacks the large number of cashback offers some other sites have, although it still lists about 600 retailers! It has the feel of a site still in development in many ways and its navigation is not as intuitive as other sites. It does list an Amazon store but does not seem to pay cashback for purchases there. This is not a 100% cashback site either. In its favour it does post fairly regular offers and voucher codes.
