How Cashback Websites Work

Cashback websites, such as TopCashback and Quidco, earn money through affiliate links—or, in simpler terms, referral links. These sites partner with retailers and earn a commission for every customer they direct to the retailer’s website. A portion of this commission is shared back with the customer in the form of cashback. For example:

• Quidco collaborates with over 5,000 retailers.
• TopCashback works with more than 6,000 retailers.

This means there’s likely a way for you to save money on almost anything you purchase online.

Choosing the Right Cashback Site To maximize your savings, it’s a good idea to use both Quidco and TopCashback. Sometimes, one site offers a better cashback rate than the other for the same retailer. Compare offers before committing to a purchase.

How Cashback Sites Make Money It’s common to wonder how cashback sites profit if they’re returning nearly 100% of their commissions. The answer lies in volume bonuses: retailers pay cashback sites extra for driving significant traffic and sales. While these sites do pay most of their earnings to you, their business model ensures they still make a profit through these additional bonuses.

Is There a Catch? Absolutely none! Both Quidco and TopCashback offer free accounts. Although you may upgrade to paid versions:

• Quidco Premium: £1/month for extra perks.
• TopCashback Plus: £5/year, deducted from your earned cashback.

Cashback sites can be used for almost anything: holidays, home insurance, clothing, cars, jewellery, you name it. The free versions of these accounts work perfectly well for most users, including me.
