1 Navdeep T.  · I waited for 4 months for cashback. They closed the claim n I never received it. It is a total scam
1 Zak V.  · Ten days since joining and joining bonus not payable. Should be instant! Purchase bonus can take a few months. Ridiculous.
1 Sarb  · Fraud. Never trust Topcashback. Bought NBN plan through Topcashback. Never got any cashback. Requested missing cahsback. Never heard back from them.
5 Xin yue  · very prompt help on missed cashback track and quickly responsive.
1 J CCC  · False claim of multiple accounts for different people within household as duplicate person and delete user's account while confiscating approved cashback
1 LAD91  · Nothing has tracked? Even when it clearly comes up as logged, message them and they don't respond? Dodgy as

So far, so good. I only joined topcashback after cash rewards closed. There is another cash back site I also joined at the same time, but I found that the % amount back was often slightly higher on topcashback. Admittedly, this is a small household so I don't have the problem of family members being in the same household and trying to have… Read more

accounts as well, which it seems (going on other reviews) is causing a big problem for some members.

Just as in Cash rewards, you have to wait a while till the cash is available after a pirchase. It can vary I think, but usually at least a month. I haven't made any grand profits, I have found that with some of the companies that offer a cash reward, you have to be very careful to read the details. Amazon is notorious for this (in my eyes anyway). You'll see an email that says up to 10% available on Amazon but when you look, sure, a limited category might be getting 10% but most other things are about 0.3 %.

That of course is not the fault of Topcashback but it does mean you might find another store where you'll actually get a bit more eg 2% back for your purchase, so it pays to shop around.

So far, over the last year or so, I have been paid out about $59, so you won't make a fortune but every little bit helps. The payout process was very easy.

They confirmed my payout of $90.16. Then the next day they email"As part of our regular checks, we noticed that you appear to have multiple TopCashback accounts. You may not have been aware of this, but it is against the terms and conditions of our site. Unfortunately, this means that we will have to terminate this account." I have extended family… Read more

members who have been referred, however somehow it is against their terms. No T&C say multiple family members/households are not eligible.. will revert back to shopback

Refuse to pay referral bonus due to using the referral link from family member, providing individual ID as requested by their team to verify the account, but still refuse to honour the payment. I consider the service (cashback processing) has NOT been provided with "due care and skill", given failure to verify the account when opening. If your… Read more

company requests an ID or a phone number to verify new account opening, these issues will not happen. Your company fails the obligations at the very beginning but does not want to take the consequences. The other major 'cashback' company has their own procedures to identify new account when opening to avoid damage their customers in the future. Topcashback purely accuse it's all customers' faults but never facing their own inadequates. Very bad experience with topcashback

I have tried using Top Cashback multiple times all without success straight away. Both occasions now I’ve had to claim missing cachback. The first time it took 3 months just for them to ‘investigate’ that my claim was valid and when they found it was - they say I have to wait essentially 6 months to even be paid out. I now am having to go through… Read more

the same process again. This is absolutely ridiculous and it seems that they can’t be trusted to adhere to their own terms of service. Make sure you RECORD THE ENTIRE PROCESS when going to even try using Top Cashback. It’s like pulling teeth.

No good. Absolutely terrible. Missing cashback not tracked. I've sent through a request on 3 missing cashbacks and it doesn't track your lodged enquiry either. It says it can take 2-3 months for an outcome. This is not reliable and easy to lose track of missing earnings. For Agoda it also kept denying and approving and denying which eventually went through properly. Stick to Shopback which i cant fault.

Have been using TopCashback for a while now and have found them to be the leader in their domain. There browser widget works better than the others and, on the times, I have had to contact them, they have been very helpful and resolved my issue very promptly. Keep up the good work.

Top Cashback is great in concept but execution of it is something entirely different. Please Top Cash inform customers in your FAQ - rather then me doing a deep dive into your site to find the answers - that you have to wait for Merchants to actually pay Top Cashback as they are just affiliates for the websites. This will take more then 50 x days… Read more

and I am yet to receive my first payback. I still dont know if I have to reach a minimum spend before I can access my account funds. I will say that Top Cashback doe snot take too long to allocate the affiliate websites earnigns to your account but you do have to go through the 1. Pending .2 Confirmed. 3. Payable tiers before it appears in your account. Also note that eg 2.8% Ebay cashback payments and Amazon payments all have convoluted arrangements so that it 99% is never the 2.8 or 3% advertised. You will not be able to work it out unless you want to spend 1/2 hour on each transaction to earn your eg $0.79. Once I reach the payable payout scale I doubt I will continue using this platform and try another like Cashrewards. I will be open to change my review if things change in the near future.

I made multiple purchases from various merchandises listed as companies where customers can get cash back through TopCashBack. My last purchase on this company was recorded at the end of September even though I spent huge amount of money since then… Read more

for online shopping. I received email from them advising to purchase something from list of companies and they will give $5 back as a gift because of their Bday. I followed their link. I made purchase within time frame and spent more than required to receive $5 back - and NOTHING changed. For TopCashBack - purchase didn't happen. Customer service told me that there are only three companies have been clicked by me and refered me to my earning account. Hovewer, my earning account does not indicate anything since September 2025 nor mentioned three companies either. Overall - Very Negative Experience from deceiving company.

 Follow-up  · I did not receive any cashback as there is no updates since September 2025. I did not received promised $5 gift. Customer service asked me to provide more details related to my account even though I provided details in initial request. I do not use this "service" anymore. It's all fake.

I've been successfully using cashbacks for years so decided to try this new one. Started well and shopped heavily as well as referring my family and friends (so accumulated lots of referrals) but now they claim "I have multiple accounts" (as our… Read more

family all have the same domain) and need to verify and for the past month have locked down all accounts which now have hundreds of dollars waiting to claim (from thousands of dollars of spend). I have already advised the accounts were for family members (and the couple of accidently duplicated ones which they can close) and our family can 100% verify each and every one with ID and receipts.....but since they provided this email they have not responded to any of my attempts to provide verification so the money can be unlocked. I have now emailed the "contact" address four times and not one response (and no response to my family). I'm ready to lodge a Consumers Affairs complaint against them as they have not met their promise on the advertised cashbacks (which is why I shopped through them) and will not respond so I can do so. Stay away and I'll be sticking with Shopback (for which I have more than $3000 in cashbacks without any issue actually getting the money!!) They have no phone number to call and just the one same email they keep posting.... which no-one responds. Super disappointing.

 Follow-up  · It took another complaint and two more follow ups but eventually it was all sorted. Thank you

I have been using TopCashback for 2 years now and I am very impressed with the company. I can easily submit a missing cashback if it didn't track and the company also matches other cashback sites with their highest cashback guarantee. On top of all… Read more

this, I can also message Tightarse who is the TopCashback representative via OzBargain and he is so quick and responsive in all my enquiries. I have also alerted them to codes listed on the website that are not working and they immediately generate another one if it is business hours. Very impressed with the customer service. Highly recommended. Thank you!

 Follow-up  · I cash out very often - couple of times a month. My usual retailers I shop at are amazon (especially during prime week when there are bonus cashback), chemist warehouse, pizza hut (love the 100% cashback). Best savings would be the pizza hut deals but also the boosted 20% amazon across all categories.

I changed to these guys within the year because my other main cashback site (Shopback) was pretty hit and miss with click throughs and arbitrarily rejected one of my cashbacks. I've been pretty happy with Topcashback so far because their tracking seems to be working really well and their rates are much improved from when they first came out. -… Read more

Pros: - The click throughs have all worked really well so for me far, except for a couple -- an ebay rebate promo which Topcashback fixed for me when I appealed, and one other missed click. Other than that everything has tracked correctly which is pretty amazing since they don't have a browser extension and the other two companies I've used in the past both did, and both have way more missed clicks.

- Their rates are good and I find them using more and more when I compare current rates for sites.

- Their customer service was very good when I used them.

-The website is easily to use, uncluttered, just shows you the facts and is simple.

Cons: - Unfortunately they don't have a browser extension at this time. I kind of wish they did so I could remember to use them more.

That's really it. Will update if they get worse but so far I'm really happy with them.

My first cashback experience – I recently signed onto TopCashback (TCB) to make an online purchase, this was my first experience with a cashback rewards program, I had been told that I would be lucky if I saw a financial reward as these types of programs are not worth the time and effort. I have proven this thinking to be totally incorrect with TopCashback. I found the TCB app… Read more

easy to install and navigate but like all apps you must follow the instructions and stick to the purchase process. My first purchase did hit a minor snag because of a browser issue at my end and after a couple of chats with the staff at TCB it was quickly sorted….and this was on a Sunday…..yes they have real people to assist you on a Sunday! Following that minor hiccup I went ahead and made my purchase and within a few minutes the refund amount was showing as pending on my TCB account, I am hoping that when it comes time to withdraw my refund it goes as smoothly as my first purchase. I have also noticed that TCB have a very generous referral program when you introduce a friend....I have a skeptical friend in mind. It’s a great cashback program and I highly recommend TopCashback.

Great rates, great support – I've been a longtime user of various cashback services (accruing several thousand dollars over the years). I've found that so long as you ensure you follow a good process to avoid ad-blockers, then TCB is just as reliable at tracking (for me that's using my phone, going off wifi and using the TCB in-app browser) as any of the other cashback sites.… Read more

The reason I'm writing this review is to call out the great work of 'TA'. He's been a stalwart of the Ozbargain community for many years, and since he has joined TCB, he has been an omnipresent pillar of support. I've always been very impressed by not only how frequently he posts good deals, but also the individual support that he gives users on those posts.

However, this week has been the first time I've had to contact TA directly following a declined transaction. The merchant in question was refusing to honour >$250 worth of cashback, citing that they had terminated their contract with these affiliates weeks previously. Unfortunately for me, I had no way to dispute this and was resigned to the fact that I would just get screwed. TA worked tirelessly (even responding at 6.30am on a Saturday!!) to try and resolve the situation for me.

Unfortunately despite his best efforts, this did not work, as the affiliate seems to have re-negged on their side of the contract. TA then went and surprised me by going above and beyond by offering to compensate me with a significant proportion of my missing cashback as a goodwill gesture.

Whilst this would have some impact for TCB's bottom line, it's these kind of experiences that build loyalty to a brand. As it stands, TCB often has the best rates out of the big 3 cashback sites (even if they don't always have as extensive a list of merchants!), so I'm now going to use them as my preferred site of choice; safe in the knowledge that TA will have my back if **** hits the fan.

Keep up the good work TA & TCB!

N.B. I should note that I was asked to write a review in exchange for this goodwill gesture (which I've declared as a 'reward' in this post). However, I've not needed to exaggerate anything to earn it; this request has just given me the motivation to write about my positive experience with TCB so far.

I started to use TopCashback 3 months ago after the closing down of CashRewards. I found that in general, the tracking system is not that bad. Out of the five times in using the site, there's one Amazon shopping that didn't got tracked. Raised the issue after a week's time and got the cashback confirmed in about 2 months. I thought that the bonus… Read more

cashback would be credited to my account automatically but it's not. Raised the missing bonus cashback with them again and it's solved in less than an hour. Fantastic service from the customer support team.

I'm not convinced about the legitimacy of this website. I placed an order following the process in the email i reveived from them and was meant to get 30% cashback.

looked in to! I can't afford the product if the cash back doesn't come through but by the time they get around to looking into it, it can no longer be returned. Customer service is unhelpful as there is no one to chat to online and no number to call for assistance.

Very bas experience with TopCashback. Their business is based on protecting big companies against customers in any way they can. Unclear conditions that they can use however they want to decline clear entitled cash backs. Placed an order with the expectation of getting $100 back. First the order was showing $0.00 cash back. Submitted a ticket, but… Read more

they put on ice until after almost a week. I could have cancelled the order if I knew. Order was declined after that and when I contacted them they refused to do anything saying this is by the supplier not us. Ended up paying for something above its true value. Will close my account and never deal with them again.

I wish I could give this company negative 10 stars. I have been having my account for many months now and for some reason, it was disabled about 2 months ago despite not having problems cashing out the many months prior. I was accused of having multiple accounts despite having to live with other people in the house. There was no clarification, no… Read more

warning before they disabled my account. Topcashback even withheld my $400 cashback payout. What's even worse, when I reached out to discuss, they ignored me and never responded to my message. Would stay as far away from topcashback as possible and would never recommend this website to anyone.

I bought an expensive item 4.5k+ that didn't track (not topcashback's fault, fault at seller end), store rep 'tightarse' from ozbargain helped me out and mediated between the seller on my behalf. Communication was professional, pleasant and prompt. Long story short the item was eventually tracked! Many thanks to tightarse for his effort and time!

I have had no issues since signing up and regulary using them and getting payouts. When I have tried to get a payout they are withholding it and accusing me of having multiple accounts!

terminated?? Where is the proof and how are you determining that it’s the same person. I think this is poor service to accuse me and threaten to terminate all accounts if we live under the same roof. Will only be using Shopback from now on.

It’s honestly a waste of time. Believe me, it’s not worth creating an account with this platform. I’ve purchased so many items from Temu, eBay, and Amazon without any issues, but this website or add-on simply doesn’t work properly. I’ve sent multiple emails in the past, yet nothing has been resolved. I regularly shop on Amazon, but not a single transaction has ever been captured by this site. It’s a complete waste of time and energy.

Also shoutout to their customer support for being proactive in… Read more
