If you haven’t started earning cashback, these offers 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).
Some articles on the blog contain affiliate links, which provide a small commission to help fund the blog. However, they won’t affect the price you pay or the blog’s independence. Read more here.
New member sign up deals
From time-to-time, there are sign up bonuses such as takeaways, M&S or Amazon vouchers. I prefer the more open-ended offers where you can get cash no matter what you spend. You can only get one new sign-up offer.
Free £15 bonus
Sadly my exclusive £15 offer ended on the 30th November 2020, so the best generic – i.e. spend where you like – is now £10 (see link below).
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 running.
However there’s a free £17 by signing up to Quidco, another leading cashback site.
Have you tried Quidco?
£17 bonus for new customers
Get this huge bonus when you sign up and spend £10 via this cashback site.
It’s an exclusive offer for subscribers to Andy’s newsletter, sent every Thursday with the best articles and deals from the blog.
Free £10 bonus
You can get £10 back if you spend £10 or more when you sign up to TopCashback via the link below.
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.
Terms and conditions for this offer – and a few exclusions for earning the first £10 – can be found here.

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.
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!
