Always pays
Good to get a few pence off the tickets

Can't handle multiple purchases
I often use Trainline to book tickets for several people. Even though I click through from TCB each time, it only ever registers one of the transactions (usually the cheapest!) and ignores the others. I have to then raise a ticket, which takes 6 months to resolve. Often, this takes so long that I've forgotten all about it, so lose out. I don't know if this is a TCB issue or a Trainline issue.

No Cashback EVER!!
Despite numerous purchases through TCB, confirmed clicks, nothing ever tracks. TCB CS "do their best" but always the same response. Pointless.

Extremely Disappointed with TopCashback and Trainline.
I have been a loyal TopCashback user, but my recent experience has been incredibly frustrating. I made two purchases—a railcard and a ticket—through Trainline, motivated by the cashback offers on TopCashback. However, after waiting four months, both my cashback claims have been declined. The reason provided is that Trainline couldn't trace my transactions, despite the fact that 6 clicks were successfully tracked and I provided the correct transaction details and purchase date. This response feels inadequate and unfair. To make matters worse, TopCashback suggests providing "alternative order references" when I’ve already shared the necessary details. Why should customers bear the burden of proving what should be tracked automatically? I feel misled and let down by both TopCashback and Trainline. If cashback offers are promoted but not honored, it raises serious concerns about the integrity of these deals. I urge others to be cautious and hope TopCashback and Trainline review their processes to prevent such issues in the future.

Don't waste your time
I've bought numerous tickets with Trainline and continue to do so. However, buying them through Topcashback always ends with the same result: "They can't find my booking details," and I never receive a small percentage for each transaction. Now, I don't bother trying and it saves me from the rigamarole of the missing cashback system.

Never Payout!!!!!
I have been purchasing rail tickets through trainline for over 1 year now. Not once have I ever been paid any cashback by them. I just get the usual spiel it has not tracked etc. Complete waste of time

Worked with a follow up
As it seems to be a trend, they initially rejected my claims. But I responded to the rejection stating that I'd be happy to provide the email with proof of purchase and they accepted the cashback. Not a great experience compared to other companies, but it did work.

Do not bother with Trainline
Just clickbaiting customers with offer of good cashback. They never register nor give any cashback, even though you have a proof and register buying. There are other providers with same tickets that everyone should use as Trainline is complete waste of time.

Zero tracking
Like other reviewers have said, none of my purchases this year have tracked with the trainline - it's time to remove them and stop wasting people's time.

Turned down...again
Recent trend with Trainline (and other companies) is a flat turn-down and claiming they can't trace the transaction despite valid order numbers being given. TCB need to start looking into merchants who are consistently getting one star reviews but they just take the merchants' word for it and close down the claim.

They never pay the cashback
I have used this website 7 times this year and only 1 time did they pay the cash back, always stated transaction cannot be traced. Yet I can proof payment and ID reference on each transaction. One very dissatisfied customer.

Poor service
I don't usually use trains but the one time I did it got delayed over 1 hour and had to switch trains in between unexpectedly. On top of all this they declined my TCB. #shambles

excellent service
very simple just use top cashback, go to your retailer that deals with top cashback purchase what you require and the rest is simple just, wait for the cash back into your account. You may have to wait a period of time but it is worth the wait .

Has never ever worked for me
I buy train tickets at least once a week, I’ve tried repeatedly buying them through Topcashback and none of them have ever tracked

Dreadful....total waste of time.
I have never earned cash back from anything that I have booked with trainline. Oh and don't bother raising a query either because that is another waste of time too. Seriously Topcashback...sort this merchant out or remove it please.

Rubbish
Always say they can't trace your transaction even when you complain and give your transaction ID. Such a scam!

Never tracks
Used them many times but the last 3 purchases have never tracked and when I submit a support ticket Trainline declines it saying they can’t trace order. Even though they have order refs, dates etc

TRAINLINE SCAM?
I used this merchant in August 2023 and put in a missing cashback claim. It was April 2024 before the amount was allocated to my account. TCB asked me to close this claim once the amount became payable. It made it to the confirmed stage but almost 14 months on it has never progressed to payable, but the claim has been closed?! It would be a nice Christmas present if I ever get it!!!

Never Tracks Despite Using Various Devices
All purchases from this retailer has never tracked and had to submit manual claims which have been mostly not accepted. Seems like others are having the same issue. Will stop using this retailer if this continues.
