If you haven’t started earning cashback, these offers – including a £15 welcome bonus – could be the ones to get you started!
I’ve earned around £1500 through TopCashback and Quidco in the last two and a half years – and that’s just by doing some normal shopping.
You can read more about how cashback works in this guide, and see some of the special sign-up offers for Quidco here (currently £17 via my newsletter).

New member sign up deals
I think the best welcome bonuses are the ones that aren’t linked to a specific retailer. These open-ended offers mean you can get cashback no matter where you shop.
There are sometimes other deals that will pay a similar amount but they are restricted to specific retailers or require a higher minimum spend (eg £30). I’ll share these below if they are better than the generic offers.
You can only get one new sign-up offer.
Free £15 bonus
The £15 new member bonus is currently only available via Be Clever With Your Cash! You need to spend £15 via one of the retailers listed on TCB to get this bonus (excluding takeaways). You must go via this link or the button below. Ends 30 June 2022
Free £10 bonus
You can get £10 back if you spend £10 or more when you sign up to TopCashback via the link in the button below.
Terms and conditions for this offer – and a few exclusions for earning the first £10 – can be found here.
Free £5 bonus when you sign up
This offer is for a free £5 bonus. Go via this specific sign-up link to register. Again, you need to spend at least a tenner.
Get a £17 welcome bonus from Quidco
The best new member bonus is exclusively for Be Clever With Your Cash readers. Here’s how to get it
Existing customer deals
From time to time there are special bonuses you can activate. Often it’s £2.50 when you spend a tenner, though sometimes they are higher or linked to a specific type of purchase. Any good ones I’ll add here.
£1.50 off Easter chocolate
Use the Snap and Save feature of TopCashback (on desktop or via the app) to scan a receipt from any UK store (not online) and get £1.50 bonus cashback on Easter chocolate. You need to spend a minimum of £1.50 on one or more Easter egg to get the money back. Ends 18 April 2022.
£2 bonus when you spend £5
This offer is running Monday 18 April 2022 only. Make sure you activate the offer first. I picked up a £5 John Lewis voucher via TopGiftcards.

Hi there Andy,
When will the £15 general bonus be back? I have been waiting for it to come back before I sign up.
Look forward to your response
Halik
Hi Halik, afraid I can’t say if it will or not. I thought it was just end-of-financial-year changes but all TCB offers so far this year have been capped at £10.
Sorry if this is a silly question but which is better of the two?
When you earned your cash back is there a set limit for u have to earn before u can get the money back and how do you get it does it come in vouchers or cash just asking as I’m new to this i did try it 1s b4 and earned 6.50 but couldn’t get it back
Hi Claire, it depends on the service but both TopCashback and Quidco have a 1p minimum payout level so there’s no problem cashing out. You can choose between cash to your bank or gift vouchers. The latter often come with a slight additional boost on top.
No not normally, you get the amount of cash back you earn on that product you bought, you can then take vouchers with bonus cash on or have the money in your bank account. Really good. It takes time for the money to be cleared it should say with each shop etc so some maybe six weeks some nay be three onset its all different and set by the shop on when they will pay cash back back.
Where is the link for the 15 pound bonus for topcashback?
Many thanks
Hi, it’s there in the article!
Hi andy,
Is there any chance in renewing the £15 topcashback bonus link? I didnt get a chance to use it whilst it was active
Look forward to your reply
Sadly I’ve asked and the answer for now is no. But there are a few £15 offers with specific retailers you could try. If not, it’s the £10 generic deal.
Hi there how long should the topcashback bonus take to come through? I followed the link in November, but my sign up bonus still not payable. Thanks, Abi
Have you spoken to TopCashback? Get in touch and see what they say. I’d expect you to have had it by now
For people’s information, I always DID wonder about Top Cashback and their PLUS! account as I got charged for it twice, even though I was sure I’d selected not to have it.
Well it turns out that they AUTOMATICALLY override any choice you make when you sign up – whatever the site tells you, at the end of the “grace” period, you’re automatically signed onto their PLUS! Membership and will be charged £5 for it, which is great if that’s what you want, but shitty if you specifically didn’t want it.
To get out of this, you have to submit a support ticket complaining, and they reset your membership level and remove the £5 charge.
TC are a good site, but this is bloody cheeky imo!
