The basics
What it is and how it works
Join free (Classic), click via TopCashback to a retailer, shop as normal. Cashback tracks, then becomes payable after the retailer's returns window. Withdraw to bank, PayPal or gift cards with no minimum fuss on Classic.
Where the money comes from
How the model works
- Shops pay for sales
- The app shares part of that fee
- Cashback lands in your account
Honest numbers
What you could realistically earn
Earnings equal a share of what you already spend — varies wildly. MoneySavingExpert regularly finds TopCashback pays the highest rate in a majority of its checks. Big switches (broadband/insurance) can pay tens to low hundreds of pounds in a single claim when offers are live.
Earnings scenarios (illustrative)

Illustrative only, using the published range for TopCashback (£5–£200 a month). The yearly view simply multiplies by 12. It is not a forecast: real results vary and many people earn less.
