No Stars! They blocked and refuse cashback.
No cashback given by trainline. We have been through the T&Cs a number of times double checking. All rules followed and correct but no pay out to cashback site. Avoid.

Takes ages, then don’t pay
Despite following the rules, over a year after purchase they decline and don’t pay.

TERRIBLE
I have been waiting for my 2023 cashbacks which were confirmed to be paid, only to see today (28/2/25) that they have been declined by Trainline. DONT BOTHER as they DONT PAY OUT. I've also got a business account with them and now I am cancelling that so they will miss out on all my purchases which are a lot and of high value. Terrible service to say the least

Scam
Cashback confirmed after the purchase, however, instead of paying the cashback, it was declined 6 months later. As a result, you can’t submit a claim as the transaction was made 100 days before. It’s not a single case when I read through the review of Trainline. Obviously Trainline just used the cashback to attract you but then declined it a few months later without any chance to submit a claim. I suggest TopCashback to block this company.

No cashback received
No cashback or acknowledgement of placing the order. I would've gone direct with eurostar if I'd known.

Cashback confirmed, but later declined after several months had passed.
Used trainline on 2 occasions to purchase an annual railcard. First cashback proceeded to payable as expected. Second cashback didn't initially track but Trainline later confirmed cashback was owed. After several months in 'confirmed' status however, rather than paying the owed cashback they changed the status to 'declined'.

Typical for a train - you wait ages and then it's cancelled.
I've been using topcashback for years but this is the first time it's gone completely wrong. From memory I think I had to put in a claim because it didn't track but that was nearly a year ago. Now nearly a year later it has been declined. Not going to persue the matter and will not use again for a measly 1%.

no cashback received after almost a year in waiting
no cashback received after almost a year in waiting. I made valid purchases through topcashback but still declined.

Cashback declined after pending for 6 months
Followed rules then declined. Don’t expect anything through TCB

No cashback
I didn't receive any cashback and the only reason I booked through Trainline is because they were offering 15%

Don’t use - no cash back on 6 transactions
It’s 2025 , cash back from 2019 showed as still pending for it to be refused for 6 separate transactions. TCB should not allow a company to do this . Receipts available

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.
