It didn't track, I tried to contact customer service to ask them to fix it and now been told that they can't submit missing cashback claims for this merchant! Then really what is the point of using them??? Don't use them you won't get the cashback!

Same experience as a lot of others on TCB. Bought a subscription a year ago and still no cashback despite nudging twice during the year. No problems with the subscription itself but if you're only going with this company to get the cashback don't bother!

Like everyone else, Cashback of £5.15 appeared quickly and then a month later reduced to £0.00 for no reason whatsoever. I have paid and not cancelled. TopCashBack should step in and get rid of this seller. Magazines Direct gives you a bad name...

Cashback appeared very quickly, then once ready for payment it was declined for no reason! There is also no way of issuing a claim against them as it says there was 'no offer' at time of purchase and TCB will not chase payments against this company. Please DO NOT buy solely based on cashback offer as you will not receive any payment!

Like many others the cashback appeared very quickly, then about a month later declined for no reason! Their cashback is a con, and no way of issuing a claim against them as it says there was 'no offer' at time of purchase. So don't buy solely based on cashback offer

Same experience as many others. Tracked almost immediately but then reverted to 0 and no opportunity to request an investigation. Luckily got a good deal on magazine, but otherwise would not recommend using this retailer.

Update...to be fair to Magazines Direct, as soon as I had reviewed them quite negatively, they paid up, though I doubt that had anything to do with it. So it has taken about 5 months to become payable, which I don't mind as the cashback was a bonus on top of a good deal. However, all the negative comments makes you wonder if yours will also go to zero and that can be quite disconcerting.

Much as most other comments, cashback tracked almost immediately, but reverted to zero, no reason given, tcb have tried to resolve this, still waiting. What's worse, the TV guide I bought from them, often comes too late. As I live abroad, I like to have my hard drive all set up on my satellite by the week end, when the guides coverage starts from, but it's often tuesday or wednesday that I receive it. No excuses that it takes this long to ship from the UK, as they're printed HERE and posted from HERE!!!
Awful, awful, awful - stay away from this merchant!!!!!

I ordered 2 x 12 month subscriptions in November as Christmas gifts, but only received one gift card and had to phone to get another. No sign of cash back, they should be taken off the list of merchants, as it doesn`t look like anyone gets paid !

I have yet to see a review from anyone who has actually HAD cashback from this retailer - the cashback of £5.05 tracks very quickly, but then go to 0 within days! Conveniently you're then "unable to lodge a missing claim" with magazinesdirect even though the transaction is clearly tracked...Don't be tempted by the promise of £5 cashback - Topcashback should do the decent thing by removing this offer as it is very misleading and obviously false marketing! Avoid

Did not track at all and coveniently they do not allow missing cashback claims. Complete con. Topcashback have record of my visit but Magazines Direct don't! If this hadn't have been a gift subscription then I would have cancelled. DO NOT USE - IT IS A CHEAP CON.

As many others have found, after a few weeks the cashback went to zero with no further explanation and merchant refuses any claims. Not sure why they are still listed here!

Bought a gift subscription to be activated by the recipient by e-mail...specified a date as required..and they didn't send it until AFTER the required date thus ruining the 'gift' elemnt completely. Cashback also dropped to 'Zero' for no real reason and the fact you can't claim makes this hardly worth the effort. AVOID.

Tracked quickly at £5.05 then was declined and went to £0.00.
Won't let me put in a claim for missing cashback as it says there is no cashback offer at the time I clicked through.
Why then did it track and then vanish?
Top cashback have said "put in a claim" but it does not let me.
Not happy.

I chose to purchase a magazine subscription due to the cashback on offer. However, the amount was tracked as zero. There is no option to submit a missing cashback claim. My advice would be not to base your decision on the promised cashback.
The 'christmas gift' package was also a very plain card saying 'your subscription will start in February'. The response was very unsatifactory from their customer services.

Cashback was added almost immediately although it will not be paid for some time, just to ensure you don't cancel your subscription.
