I signed up to a site called topcashback a year or so back now. It works by returning commission on internet shopping sales back to your account that you can then take out as cash.
I have so far 'earned' £384 back in real cash to my bank account and have another £121 waiting to collect.
You basically need to go to the site before you buy anything on the internet to see if the site you were going to use is listed via topcashback. Hotels.com for example has been providing 10% back on sales for ages now. I have also got £53 back on my last home insurance, £47.50 on my last phone contract, 20 quid at Pixmania, 40 quid at Comet, 40 quid at British Gas - it all adds up. Each sale can take about 3 months before you can get the money back but it's all traceable. I am usually as cynical as can be with this sort of thing but there really is no catch at all.
Now they have even started a recommend a friend scheme, so if you sign up with this link:

we each get a bonus £2.50 added to our account. Free money, what's not to like? :grin:

iv joined, nice one JV for heads up
-
Try quidco as well, betting sites are good for this!

I have signed up under you. I hope at least you were credited because at least I didn't get any "welcome bonus" after I have signed up. I think I will start to use the site because I buy many items (required for my job) online and a good cashback site with sites where I could find those items for good price would save me lots of money (and I really need money).
Thank you for the recommendation admin. :)

I've been using Quidco for a few years now, love free money :afro:

Similar to this http://www.myshoppinggenie.com/index.asp?site=ezroe (http://www.myshoppinggenie.com/index.asp?site=ezroe)
but this saves you money on your purchases

Is this work with eBay?
-
I've used this for my last three internet purchases and I'm just waiting for commission to come through. Knowing jv and his cynicism I always knew there would be no catch. Try it. If nothing else it's worth it for the potential discount codes you can get from most of the companies. Last thing I bought was delivered too my door cheaper than I could go to the shop and buy it. :cool:
As jv said, free money, what's not to like ! :afro:

I use Quidco as well.
Ebay gives you 40% on the amount ebay make so not that much.
Go-compare gives you £1.50 just for a quote.
Mobile phone contracts and car insurance are good rates. Usually around £100 back. Just shows you how much gocompare and confused must make when folk click through it if individuals can make £100
I've been with them for about 3 years now and have earned £722 which is amazing considering you don't actually pay for the service.

be careful, sometimes the retailers dont give out the cashback amounts mentiond. i took out an RAc policy and am still awating my cashback even though it has tracked. raised a dispute and am still waiting 6 weeks on-10 weeks after purchase. apparantly RAC are notorious for these things.
-
Yeah I had one of those disputes when I bought after shave but it was only for a couple of quid so it was no big deal but if you are factoring in the cashback price into the actual cost / choosing what company to go with it can be annoying.
The way I look at it is I would be buying the goods anyway so do the usual Google search for the cheapest couple of prices and then see if any of those companies are listed in Quidco and go through that way to buy. That way I'm not relying on it and see it as money for nothing.
