    Hi all,

    To clarify - the free book campaign is marketed towards new members to TopCashback. We will still offer cashback to existing customers that have the special link (NOT the normal Amazon link) - so please don't panic that the terms have changed as we're not going to reject your cashback.

    Amazon tracking is also a bit slow - it will take between 24-48 hours to track in your TopCashback account.

    Enjoy your free book!

    I would point out user "topcashbackrep" is new with zero previous posts. Please do not take this as any official line - no indication of any link to TCB.

    Edit: according to TCB forum moderators, the user is an official rep.

    Just waiting for it to track. Went for a kindle book which i presume is what they mean by "e-book".

    I'm sorry - but this is pretty unfair on us.

    This is an offer where we're paying after about a week, out of our own pocket, to try and give our members a great deal and a great service. We could have offered this to just new members, as it is a marketing initiative, but we wanted our existing base to be able to get the same great deal.

    There have clearly been some cases of sales not tracking - but this will always happen and there is little we can do as soon as it leaves our site. What we have done is promised to look at claims quickly and get them paid within similar time frames as if it had tracked.

    In relation to the error msg people have got - we asked here for the details and as soon as we had these I passed them to our tech team and we will get it fixed, quickly.. This isn't us holding back paying you - we have built a business model that relies on recommendations and clearly we want to offer the best service out there, which includes paying you as fast as we can.

    I'm chasing for an update on the matter - once I know when it will be resolved I will post here. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

    You need to allow around 24-48 hours for Amazon purchases to track.

    For instance, if you wanted a book costing £8 and you added a £2 book to it so you got free shipping, would you get £5 TCB or would they be sneaky and only give you £2...as the TCB is only valid for one book?

    ...good deal though (_;)

    "3. Cashback will be given by TopCashback equal to 100% of the amount spent on one book at Amazon, up to the value of £5. If a book is purchased for more than £5, £5 cashback will be given to the member. Delivery is not included in the cashback."

    OK, that's annoying, it didn't say new member before, now it does - while I was looking for something to buy. Damnit.

    would suggest putting in a cashback claim. Very poor proofreading on their part if they suddenly decided they missed a term which will exclude many users.

    Yes and No! No problems with your wife ordering one too - but she would have to have a separate TopCashback account.

    In my topcashback account it states: "Unfortunately the following transactions can’t be included in your payment as since it became ‘Payable’ there has been a reporting inconsistency for this transaction. Please can you check this later at which point we hope to have it resolved and included in your payout. If you don’t believe you still qualify for this transaction, please click the ‘Cancel Transaction’ button"

    What does that mean? The book was already delivered last week.

    Topcashback is the worst.

    Even when they've got YOUR money (as in confirmed and payable) they don't want to pay you out.

    TCB are horrific. It is impossible to track any purchases with them. I participated in this but assumed that I would not get the 5 quid back. If I do, then that will be a pleasant surprise.

    I bought an ebook from amazon via your link as a new customer last week … I bought an ebook from amazon via your link as a new customer last week and it hasn't tracked. Not overly fussed as it was a book I wanted but I could have waited.Not impressed.



    Please put through a claim - it will take less time to put one though as it would have done to order it! I can guarantee you that if you followed the correct link and it hasn't tracked then if you put in a claim with a valid order ref we will pay it. If you need help doing it, PM me. As already mentioned - we rely on 3rd party tracking - most of the time it works - but sometimes it doesn't - that is the nature of cookies and the internet, but you've taken up an offer and you deserve to receive you cashback.

    In an effort to keep it in deals the Christopher Hitchens book linked is an excellent price :P
