Paid me within a week
I see loads of negative reviews, but my experience was that they showed up straight away with the right amount and then were payable within a week.

Rubbish
Booked my ticket, took the return journey from Kirknewton to Waverley and declined. Meets all requirements and hasn't paid. Wouldn't bother and will look to book thorugh other third party if possible

Pretended that my order was 'cancelled'
I made a valid return journey in Scotland which fulfilled all of ScotRail's requirements for cashback. ScotRail declined to pay cashback as, according to them, the order was 'cancelled'.

Declined for valid transaction
Declined even though all conditions were met and return ticket was used

No problems at all
Tracked no problem, couple of hours, correct amount and, paid in 4 days! I've not even made the journey yet, going in 2 weeks from now. (Booked early to see if it was cheaper). Seems to work fine for some and not at all for others. Wonder if it's some "settings" problem?

Rubbish
Met all conditions, and cashback was declined. Just remove it.

Always decline even though tracked and valid
Claim tracks but they always decline it. Had to raise each time with customer service and Scotrail say 'Order cancelled, returned, part returned or exchanged' even though it was a valid return ticket, meets all their conditions and ticket was used, not cancelled, returned, part-returned or exchanged. Just an excuse not to pay out.

Sometimes fine, sometimes rubbish
Scotrail will do cash back and decline lots for who knows why. Hit and miss.

Never tracks
Sometimes pays out when it does track, but rarely tracks despite journeys made in Scotland. Better off buying Scottish journeys on another site that has working cashback.

Pays out every time
Really happy with them. Tracks instantly and pays out, often really quick (3-4 days).

Never traces
Years ago when it offered cashback for all journeys, it didn't trace. Last year it offered cashback for Scottish journeys, it didn't trace. Today I travel in Scotland again with a ticket bought yesterday, it didn't trace as well.

Never trace my order
I have been used to book train tickets every week since April, but never show a single record on my account so I have to claim missing cashback every time. They're all operated by Scotrail, travelling withing Scotland, and it's not seasonal ticket or purchase with discount code or what.

Have had to raise a claim for every single purchase
I have had to raise a manual claim for every single purchase as it hasn't been added automatically at all. Bit of an annoyance.

They decline payment
Use another source of ticket/rail provider as Scotrail decline payment of transactions.

Really quick
Tracked flawlessly, have it payable within 5 days

Payable much quicker than most and tracked every time
Everytime I've needed to buy train tickets I've bought directly from scotrail via the topcashback link. Cashback has always tracked almost immediately and payable very quickly (under 2 weeks). It quickly adds up.

Randomly declines transactions
Regularly have to raise customer service tickets for declined transactions, despite tickets being fully purchased within the terms and trips fully undertaken. Sometimes payment is eventually made but also had the response "Order cancelled, returned, part returned or exchanged" from Scotrail, none of which had occurred. So overall fairly unreliable.

Declined. Use other provider.
Cashback declined, same as almost everyone else. Will not be buying directly from ScotRail again.

Missing Cashback every time
Every time I use Scotrail with TopCashback I have missing cashback.

Cashback rejected for no reason
I will book from now on using third parties, as they give the cashback.

Always had a great service
No issue with travelling but more Hygiene/cleanliness can be taken care. Mostly on time.
