What is cashback?

How to maximise your cashback

Check out the tools below if you want to know how to find our best deals and even earn cashback on top of cashback (yes, you heard us right!).

1. Download the TopCashback app

It’s never been easier to keep track of what's in your TopCashback account, thanks to our free TopCashback app.

The app allows you to monitor your account and keep track of your transactions, as well as payout your earnings via bank transfer, PayPal or a TopGiftCard. You can shop like normal and earn cashback via the app. Just click through to your chosen retailer as you would on our desktop or mobile site.

The TopCashback app is compatible with iOS and Android and can be used on both phones and tablets. If you enable push notifications, you can receive alerts with new offers and bonuses that we think you’d like.

2. Install our Chrome extension and never miss a deal

Ever paid for your shopping cart online and got that sinking feeling because you forgot to earn cashback on your purchase? We’ve been there, it’s the worst.

But thanks to our handy, free browser extension, you’ll never have to miss a cashback opportunity again. We’ll send helpful reminders to your browser whenever you’re on a site where you can qualify for cashback.

Whenever a browser notification pops up to remind you of a cashback opportunity, all you need to do is click the pink button to activate your cashback deal.

If you’re not already signed into your TopCashback account, you’ll be asked to sign in at this stage. And once you’re in, you can go ahead and bag those bargains, while earning cashback on top.

3. Find popular brands on our Trending Now page

To find our best cashback deals, make sure you keep an eye on our Trending Now page. This is where you’ll be able to keep track of all our most popular brands (that is, brands receiving the most traffic) at any given time.

From the Trending Now page, you can easily see how much cashback is being offered by our current most popular brands. You’ll also be able to keep tabs on extra discounts or offers they have for you to take advantage of.

Our Trending Now page updates every half hour, so you’ll want to check it regularly if you’re hoping to spot the best deals.

Just click on a deal you like the look of and you’ll be taken to their brand page on the TopCashback site. From there, make sure you’re signed into your TopCashback account and then you’ll be able to click through to your chosen retailer, where you can shop as normal and earn cashback.

4. Upgrade to Plus membership

If you don’t have a Plus membership, why not upgrade to take advantage of higher cashback rates?

5. Join the Smart Shopper list

If you sign up to become part of our Smart Shopper email mailing list, you’ll receive all kinds of insider info from the TopCashback team.

We send our Smart Shopper community exclusive updates from our brands, early access to limited offers, money-saving advice and more.

Make sure you update your email preferences if you’d like to start receiving Smart Shopper emails from us.

6. Maximise your cashback with Reward Wallet

When you cash out using Reward Wallet, you can make your cashback go further.

Cash out your TopCashback balance as a gift card using the Reward Wallet and we’ll increase its value by up to 25%. This means a payable cashback balance of £20 could become a £25 gift card, depending on the bonus rate of the gift card you choose.

You’ll need to transfer your cashback to your Reward Wallet and request your preferred gift card with at least a few days to spare before you plan to spend it.

7. Earn more with Tell-a-Friend

If you’re enjoying TopCashback, why not spread the word to someone you know so they can start saving money too?

The scheme’s called Tell-a-Friend, but it just needs to be someone you know who is happy for you to refer them.

This could be a friend or family member, someone you know from work or the school run, your neighbour, your window cleaner… If they’re keen to save money with TopCashback then Tell-a-Friend might be the perfect money-saving trick for you both.

Each time you refer someone new to sign up for a TopCashback account, you’ll qualify for a Tell-a-Friend bonus once they’ve earned £10 cashback.

This could be as much as £35 for each person you refer to TopCashback, depending on what Tell-a-Friend bonus deals we’re offering at the time. Just keep an eye on your Refer & Earn account page to see how much you could earn for referring your friends.
