Very disappointed.
Claim was tracked right up to payment and then it went to zero.
I had all emails and paperwork to back up my claim, but when I filed with TCB they said they couldn't help as the Magazines Direct does not accept any cashback queries.
I think I should have seen a red flag then!
PS Is it just me or are many companies offering cashback, but at the last moment not paying for one reason or another?
I do not blame TCB as they can only go on the supplier details, but it must be frustrating for them when the supplier doesn't pay and costing them money when they have to chase the claim.
Perhaps some further controls need to be put in place?

Bought a few magazine subscriptions on separate transactions, expecting £6 cashback for each. Unfortunately they would not pay all the cashback even though I spent quite a lot of money with them and met their criteria. Will not use them again, I will go elsewhere.

Was expecting £6 cashback but went from pending to £0.00. Cashback say that this merchant will not accept missing cashback claims...mmm I wonder why ! Avoid at all costs is my recommendation !!

Wont ever use this company again, only purchased a magazine subscription through them due to the cashback, it tracked ok and always showed, until it moved to payable where it turned to zero cashback. I tried to submit a missing claim, but it now shows no available codes at time of purchase so unable to submit, that was not true, very disappointed.

Disappointed! Although it has been showing £5 cashback pending for the past 3 months, it has now gone to £0? Topcashback wont track it, why?? I would have gone to another retailer. I feel as though I have been cheated out of my cashback!
Wont be using the vendor again! Beware its a con!

Awful.
I won't receive cashback, even though it's logged in the system as me visiting the site at the time that I actually bought something (magazinesdirect's fault, not topcashback's).
Also, despite ordering a monthly magazine on December 21st, I won't receive it until March!!
I often use TCB and other similar sites, but this has really left a sour taste in my mouth.
Avoid!

Similar to a lot of other peoples experiences - the cashback tracked at £5.05 and when it got to payment it turned to £0! Topcashback is unable to chase up claims for this merchant - however I gather lots of transactions are successful...?!

Total con artist!
Cb tracked @ £5.05 but now showing as 0.00. & yuo can't even chase them.
Please TCB, stop using such uncooperative and deceiving merchants - only brings you down too.
Extremely disappointed with this merchant.

I have now put around £100 of mag subscriptions through TCB and Magazinesdirect over the last few years. Of the four subscriptions this represented only one has actually tracked and been paid. None of my last three have even made it to tracking stage so I would suggest that you use this merchant with extreme caution.
Also, the fact that TCB dont allow any queries for this merchant is frankly ridiculous.

Considering all of the problems I have had with Magazines Direct sending the wrong size magazine month after month I was disappointed to find that they didn't even pay out the £5.05 - and surprise surprise they don't accept missing cashback claims. Not impressed with them at all.

Tracked straight away, but like other users, when the claim moves to payable it reverts to zero. It does this after the 100 days so you have no way to lodge a missing claim. This seems very underhand and should not be allowed to continue. TCB should stop this practice as it is undermining the whole ethos of the system.

after online purchase, claim did not register. This merchant does not allow you to lodge a missing claim. Have addressed the problem with Top cash but don't know whether they can do anything. It seems an unreliable/misleading offer. Very unimpressed, very unhappy!

Magazines Direct are con merchants with regards to Cashback. Just do not pay it and a claim is not allowed. Should be done for trades deescription!

Good price for the magazine subscription and cashback tracked quickly but soon changed to zero. You won't get the cashback so only use if you get the cheapest subscription quote for your magazine!

Cashback tracked but after a few weeks Magazines Direct has declined my cashback without a reason. Topcashback can't investigate as Magazines Direct do not accept missing cashback claims. I have followed the merchamt notes and received the product I paid for, so why my cashback has been declined? Will not use Magazines Direct again and do not recommend.

As with many others - tracked nice and fast but 3 months to the day - cashback was declined for no reason. Subscription still going. Disappointing result

I took out 2 separate subscriptions through this company expecting to get £5.05 on each one. When no cash back appeared in my account I tried to submit a missing cash back claim but it wouldn't let me. When I queried this with topcashback they just said I couldn't claim as it was in magazines direct's t&cs that they didn't accept missing cash back claims. The cash back for this company should be removed as it's a con. I could accept if it happened once, but twice - c'mon!! Not a happy bunny! :-(

Tracked quickly at £5.05, then disappeared, 8 months of chasing, claim finally denied even though it now shows £1.14 claimable. Topcashback did what they could but won't use Magazines Direct again.

DO NOT USE THIS MERCHANT - my cashback (£5) tracked and then was declined. Apparently Magazines Direct 'do not look into missing cashback' a sneaky way of them getting you to buy from them and then with drawing offer. Top cashback should remove then from the site
