The Offer
[Update: the Groupon doesn’t appear to be available currently, as readers point out.]
Direct Link (this link includes my Topcashback referral link)
Signup for a new Topcashback account and get two bonuses:
- Get $10 bonus for signing up for a new Topcashback account (cashback will become payable after getting $10 in ordinary cashback in your Topcashback account). Must use a referral link to get this $10 bonus.
- Get another $10 cashback when making a $16 purchase of two Fandango movie tickets from Groupon (movie tickets valued up to $26).
If you buy the movie tickets, you’ll end up with $20 back in your Topcashback account; $10 back from the Groupon purchase, and another $10 from the portal signup. That makes it a $4 moneymaker, plus the free $16 in movie tickets.
Both of these offers are for new members only. Each person can only have one Topcashback account, but Topcashback encourages each member of a household to have a separate Topcashback account. So if you and your spouse/child/parent share a Topcashback account, you can open up a second one and get these bonuses.
[If you already opened a Topcashback account but haven’t yet made a purchase using the account, you are probably still eligible for the $10 Groupon offer.]
The Fine Print
- Valid through Wednesday, March 23, 2016, or until Groupon ends the deal, whichever is first
- Cashback will show within seven days and will be payable within 21-days (cashback might initially post at a different amount, but it will be uplifted later)
- Make sure only to purchase one $16 Fandango voucher on Groupon, don’t have anything else in your cart at time of checkout, and don’t purchase more than one
- Offer only valid while the purchase price is $16; if price changes, the $10 Groupon bonus deal is off
Our Verdict
Topcashback often runs these types of bonuses; this time, it works out that the regular $10 Topcashback bonus is here concurrently with the $10 Groupon bonus. This can make for a great deal if you value the movie tickets. If you don’t have use for the movie tickets, pass on this deal and wait for a different Topcashback bonus that works better for you.

wth... "Sorry, this is a restricted offer. Unfortunately you're not eligible for this deal. But you may be interested in..."
getting that message when i go to the groupon special offers page...and i just made a new account. makes no sense..
Sounds weird. You are seeing that on the Groupon site? Hmm, maybe the offer was pulled.
Looks like you need to go through the entire link (referral + deal) to even get to the TCB page with the $10 bonus. Here's mine http://www.topcashback.com/ref/lplitwin/groupon-special-offers/ :)
If you register first, even with a referral, and then go back in with the promo TCB link then it says you are not eligible.
On top of that, https://www.groupon.com/deals/fandango-movie-tickets-sale says it is sold out of the $16 fandango promo codes.
Glad this was posted at DOC, but seems to be dead.
