I have purchased tickets from the Trainline through Topcashback on numerous occasions and each time the cashback has failed to even track. Each time I have lodged a missing cashback claim with the same outcome, the Trainline have declined to pay out any cashback for whatever reason. As a once regular user of this company I find their behaviour disgraceful and will certainly not be buying my tickets from this company again. TRAINLINE DO NOT PAY OUT CASHBACK, AVOID!!!

Didn't track and declined my claim. Not worth it anyway - stick to buying direct.

Did not track, put in claim, after months of waiting tcb couldn't retrieve and so declined. Pointless waste of time, awful merchant. Use Red Spotted Hanky, much better service!

Bought tickets on 15th March and still hasn't tracked. Also the booking fee has risen to £1.50 and to pay by Paypal is another £1.90. Not worth it any longer.

Thetrainline has a nice website and also a nice app, however this is paid for by the mugs that use their service.
Why should I have to pay £1 for a booking fee when I can book through many other train services for free! Slightly higher cashback that is all but cancelled by the £1 you pay in booking fee. Not worth it!

Tracked quickly and then refused to payout - changed to £0. I did not use any codes or do anything else to invalidate so no reason for this. Be cautious!

Addendum - Interesting that most of the recent feedback is similar!

They seem to find any way (and don't have to justify) to not pay out (despite following the rules)! Expensive to use with 'booking fee' AND credit card charge, particularly when CB declined. Won't use again!
Alternative sites are available. Although you don't get cashback, they don't charge any fees - So better value overall.

For no reason what-so-ever that I can see, my cashback has been refused by thetrainline.
It wasn't for a great deal of money (original purchase was £17.80) but I'm very disappointed to be told I get nothing from them.
I didn't cancel my ticket, I didn't use another promotional code at the same time, I totally can't understand why I'm not being allowed what is due to me.
If I buy an expensive train ticket I either, won't be using thetrainline, or will try another cashback site.

As others have mentioned, beware the completely hidden booking fee (£1) and credit card AND Paypal fee (£3.50) when buying tickets through the site. I'd recommend using this site to check train times and see if the're cashback through the specific train operator's web site.

I came to trainline after despairing of the Southern Railways website. Trainline is not worth it either. The percentage cashback on ticket (as opposed to hotel) purches is tiny, and more than taken back by the £1 booking fee, let alone the £3.50 they sting you for if you pay by credit card.

Cashback did not track. Topcashback were excellent and after submitting a claim the cashback appeared in my list. Unfortunately it has now gone down to £0 and is payable. I definitely followed the rules and did not use any promotional codes etc so I am not sure why it was rejected. I resent paying the extra handling fee to buy online but I was expecting the cashback to counter that. I will not be using thetrainline again if I can help it, and certainly will not expect to receive cashback from them.

Not very high % for cashback, but good site and easy to puchase tickets.

Cash back tracked quickly. It's a shame that cash back offered not as high as southern railways but trainline is more reliable for cash back being tracked. If removed booking fee would use more often when booking tickets

Tracked very quickly for a ticket from Berwick to Portsmouth. The cash-back basically covered my booking fee, so not a great deal. But better than nothing.
