Three months ago Rick Broida (Cheapskate) recommended TopCashBack. So, I joined, and carefully went through the process to get $20 back. I purchase ink from Best Buy, being careful to go through Cashback first, as specified.
Well, it is three months later, and not only did I not get $20, this possibly fraudulent company does not even show my having made that purchase!
TopCashBack needs to change its name to NoCashBack.
UPDATE Jan. 2019
Per other respondents, I filed a ticket with TopCashBack and I actually did get my $20 after all. So, I am elevating my score from one star to two stars. I was tempted to go to three stars, but a company that can't even get your first cashback claim should still be in the spotlight until it either straightens out or goes out of busines.
Nice site. I received my cashback very quickly. Although it was not cash just a gift card lol. They do not give alot back but it depends on where you order or how much the cashback offer is. I continue to use it. Anything back on a purchase is better than nothing.
Hi Judy,
I'm going to guess that the Gift Card was a sign up bonus you were eligible for? Other than this though, you can request payment by Bank transfer or PayPal if you don't want to use our many Gift Card options:)
I don't wanna brag, but we do usually have the highest rates and if you see one of our main competitors with a higher rate, we'll match this for you so you can keep using your TopCashabck account! - https://www.topcashback.com/account/enquiries/highestcashbackguarantees
I hope this helps,

So far pays 1 small cashback out of 2 and systematically declines all medium to large cashbacks. They promise you great returns but ended up acknowledging 15% of they money owed at best. It's probably just one of these clever online frauds.
Hi M A,
We are clever but we aren't fraud. We always aim to save you as much money as possible but we do have to receive payment from the retailer in order to pay yourself. The amount that you have spent or expect in cashback will not play a part in whether this is paid or not but whether the terms and conditions have been met. If you have any trouble with your purchases at all then I'd suggest lodging a missing cashback claim. If we can't recover the cashback then we should receive a reason for why it's not being paid.
I hope this helps,
Jack
Made many cash back purchases on other sites without any issues. Tried TopCashBack but after months of arguing with them and providing proof, they still deny my claim. Absolute scam of a company. Avoid TCB like the plague!
Hi Brian,
Most cashback sites use the same affiliate networks so your cashback should progress the same regardless of the site it tracks to. Although you may have proof that a purchase was made, if we were not passed across the cashback from the retailer or if they don't see TopCashback as the last referrer, there is very little more we are able to do in these cases.
I can assure you though that we are not a scam and that if we receive payment, we'll pay you. If you would like me to take a further look into your account, please do feel free to contact myself through Facebook and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks,
Jack
I have used cashback sites for years and TopCashback would be decent except it doesn't always work. Maybe it does five out of ten times? Then you have to submit a cashback claim. Then you have to encounter its customer service, which is a frustrating experience. These employees do not read what you've written and re-ask questions or you find yourself going around in circles and wanting to bang your head against a wall. Excuse after excuse is given for not awarding cashback, even if you didn't get it due to TopCashback's error - eg: I was told auto cashback at one vendor was 10 percent but after spending $450 on tires it turned out tires were excluded from earning cashback but TopCashback's page did not make that clear! It chooses to not live by its 'fair play' policy. It must simply be a marketing gimmick.
I like a good deal but I enjoy my time more.
I would rather use coupons from RetailMeNot or earn cashback through Ebates - I've never had a problem there.
Undoubtedly, the cashback is higher than the other websites [except some stores.] The earnings from referral and signup are also great. I had referral signup from one of the sites, I had whopping 25$ as a signup bonus. And though there is no minimum threshold for the payout, you have to wait as long as 4-5 months for your earnings to be confirmed and payable, and that s*cks.
Pros:
1. High CB
2. Multiple payout options
3. No payout threshold
Cons:
1. Have to wait as long as 4-5 months for earnings to be payable
2. Minimum 10$ in CB for the referral bonus to be confirmed.

Promise of consistently high cash back fails because so many purchases are never confirmed. Despite linking through the topcashback website, some purchases are never verified and paid. Customer Service is always the same... merchant does not approve the transaction, we have no way to track the transaction, sorry.
I used Hoppa Taxis from the Airport to Berlin city last April. I booked via TOP CASH BACK with the promise of £8.70 back from my return fare of over £40. I am still waiting for it and after countless emails to TCB all they do is make excuses. Over a year has passed and looking on the site I have another TWO MONTHS to wait before the cash is released. 14 MONTHS to get a paltry amount back. If I ever go back to Berlin I will not use Hoppa or TOP CASH BACK as it looks like I`ll be getting Top Bus Back in future or the Top Train Back and forth. What a joke AVOID THEM PLEASE or they will drive you up to the Top of the Wall and Back.
Answer: I'm a glutton for punishment. So, my view of a success story may differ from your tastes. I bought some liquor at Total Wine & More, going through TopCashBack, in early March. 6 months later, after multiple back and forths, see this absolute disgrace of an answer TCB gave to get out of paying me: Sep 03 2023 Hi there, Unfortunately in this case the retailer has awarded the commission (cashback) for your sale to another affiliate. These other affiliates can include rival cashback portals, comparison sites or even a simple click on a Google ad. This has resulted in the tracking cookie not linking back to TopCashback. We are not denying that you clicked-through to make the purchase from your TopCashback account, but certain aspects can have a negative effect on your transaction tracking and TopCashback not being recognized as the 'last referrer' of the sale. Reasons for a retailer making this decision can include: -If your computer cookies were not cleared before making a transaction -Another website, cashback portal, pop-up advertisement, search engine or comparison site may have linked to your transaction -Coupon codes which are not advertised by TopCashback. -Using ad-blockers on your browser These are only suggestions, however, as the retailer does not advise us which of these is applicable in your particular case. As this is the retailer's final decision, I'm afraid this isn't something we can dispute further. For any future purchases we'd recommend to clear cookies prior to logging-in to your account and avoid the use of coupons unless you see the code posted on our site. We hope any further transactions are more successful for you. Best wishes, TopCashback Support Even scumbag personal injury lawyers don't give these kind of tortuous excuses to absolve their obligations! That is one success story for a man and a giant leap for...what is the word I'm looking for?
Hi Dr-Michael E,
I'm glad to hear that you received your cashback on this purchase you made. I do apologize for the system error on this not being paid to you but it's nice to hear our team were able to sort this out for you. If you ever need anything else looking into, you can always reach us through a support ticket or myself through our Facebook page. We're always happy to help.
Thanks,
Jack
