You can now earn more than 100% cashback with Top Cashback.  All members will now automatically receive between 100% and 110% cashback depending on how much you use them.  Your cashback rate will be adjusted for the following month based on your current month's earning, for example if you earn £40 cashback this month, you will get 103% cashback on all purchases made via Top Cashback next month.  In order to get the full 110% cashback rate every month, you would need to be earning over £200 cashback.  You can check out which rate you would be on compared to earnings here, or if you have a Top Cashback account, just login to see which rate you are currently on.

Wondering how can Top Cashback pay more than 100% cashback?  Here's what they have to say...

"TopCashBack has been sucessfully operating on sponsored advertising since it was launched over three years ago. We have now built stronger relationships with our suppliers and increased our sponsored advertising (you may now start to see premium sponsors here and there on our site), so we're now able to push our generousity even further by offering these Top-ups. A step we felt re-enforces our branding as the UK's MOST GENEROUS Cashback Website, which we are determined to always maintain !"

TopCashback have announced some changes today, we've updated our review to reflect those changes but in a nutshell...you can now earn £2.50 per referral (up from £0.50p) and they will now match any cashback offer you may find higher on other cashback sites.

Here's what they have to say in full...

"Hi ,

We really do have a wealth of exclusive and increased cashback rates to talk about in this email. However, before all that, we have some REALLY exciting news.

In line with our policy of offering a better and better service whilst maintaining our position as the 'MOST GENEROUS CASHBACK WEBSITE' - we are very excited to say that we are launching a 'Highest Cashback Guarantee'. Yes, you now have no need to ever use any fee-charging cashback website - because you can always get the best rate from us.

We will be reviewing all of our headline rates to ensure that we offer the top-notch rate - but you can rest assured that if you earn cashback through us and find that you could have got any more elsewhere, then we will make up the difference.

And there's more ...

We will also be increasing our referral payments. Each and every new member which you refer can now earn you £2.50 in referral money... WOW!

AND THERE'S EVEN MORE ...

Just watch this space - because we are planning a REALLY EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT within the next few weeks which will benefit our members even more! In the meantime, we Strongly Recommend that you make good use of your Top Cashback account. And while you're at it - get all your friends to open an account too (and preferably to start to use it)...You'll all be missing out if you don't!

Phew - we're very excited at these improvements - but lets get down to the main section - letting you know about some great new deals and exclusive rates with Top Cashback."

We've added a review for PennyCo to Cashback Guide.

Those regular visitors to Cashback Guide may have noticed we had a few 'issues' this morning and the site was down for a couple of hours.  Apologies for this and rest assured we're all back up and running now.

It's been 2 weeks now since I first blogged about the Bakanda site being unavailable, and it had already been down for a week or two at that point.  Based on that, we're going to remove Bakanda from Cashback Guide and assume it's gone forever.  Bakanda's offers have not been appearing on Cashback Guardian for some weeks now (since we weren't able to access the site to get their offers!).

Here's a link to a forum entry on MSE that may be of some small use to those of you who are due some money from Bakanda.

I'll continue to keep an eye out in case their site comes back to life...or if someone from Bakanda (or anyone really!) wants to get in touch with me and let everyone know what's going on with the site then please feel free.

I saw a blog entry today on ecashback that is probably worth repeating here.

Many people use comparison sites to find the cheapest quotes for things like car insurance.  You may then wisely think that now you've found the cheapest quote, you can get cashback on top of that by clicking through to the retailer via your favourite cashback site, and retrieving the quote you created via the comparison site.  However, if you take that quote, the referral fee will go to the comparison site and not the cashback site, which means you won't get a penny of that cashback you were expecting.

What you need to do is click through to the retailer via the cashback site and generate a completely new quote, that way the cashback site, and therefore you, will get that all important cash back.

Based on my own experiences, I've found that sometimes you can't get as cheap a quote direct from the retailer as you can from a comparison site, in which case you'll need some simple maths to work out if the more expensive direct quote minus the cashback is better value than the quote from the comparison site before deciding which quote to accept.

Today we've added 3 new cashback site reviews: Search365, Valuebond and VIC Centre.

New cashback sites are opening all the time, and of course we'll do our best to keep things up to date at Cashback Guide.  As things stand today, we believe we have reviewed all of the currently operating cashback sites...unless of course you know differently (in which case please let us know!)
