Made a $15 Walmart gift card purchase from TopCashBack on 4/17 to take advantage of the $2.50 bonus as I usually do. All my prior times the bonus was available right away but now says it’s pending for 10 weeks. Hopefully this isn’t something new TopCashBack is doing.

This worked out perfectly for Barnes & Noble. They currently have 25% off preorders so I managed to get a book with a nice discount and the $2.50 bonus plus cash back on the TCB gift card purchase covered over half of the shipping cost.

STAY away from top cash back. Used Rakuten for years with the old name, and tried TCB because they showed higher percentages. Continually got rejected claims. Would dispute and show order documents but kept getting denied. Sadly waiting months each time. Went back to Rakuten and no issues. Was denied on two and send receipt. Within a day they credited the account. The higher percentages dont matter when they take multiple purchases from you. Just a warning.

I have never had a problem with TCB or really any other portals. Everything from TCB to Rakuten to Hoopla Doopla has always tracked.

Pro tip for using cash back portals: Install a “virgin” browser to your computer you only use for portal trackers. Make sure cookie tracking and browser tracking is enabled by default, and use that browser for cashback portals only. Make sure any adblocking software is disabled as well.

My primary browser has adblockers and a bunch of other anti-tracking blockers installed, but the browser I use for cash back portals does not. And everything has always tracked flawlessly.

Mind sharing which browser you use specifically for cashback portals?

You guys haven’t been at it long enough. I say the success rate is about 90%. Even if it tracks, the store or company has to report it back. Also, you can do ten in a row with success, then get a miss, then do ten more with success all with no changes in browser, etc. Have to ticket them for the other 10%.

Failure’s by the store or company to report are hardly TCB’s fault.

You saying that Rakuten, C1, etc. are all 100%?

No, 90% for all, swag, mypoints, etc. added together. As far as reporting, that’s what they say happened. But since I am not there, who knows for sure.

I don’t agree it is store failure with how many I was getting denied. I have had thousands in cashback from portals so doing this for a while. With the amount of denied claims from TCB something is wrong. Like I posted earlier Rakuten had two errors in the five months back. I filed a claim with the receipt and they added it back. They are at 100% right now. I do verify I reopen a new shopping if I want to make another purchase, and verify it is tracked before final purchase. Google Chrome has worked perfectly with them and TCB. It is just TCB constantly denied large ones.

I used google chrome for the purchases. I used Brave but that will block most portals. The issue is it tracked but they deny the claim. Sams club on large purcahses, and Lenove on laptop purchases. Filed complaint and they will say I used another portal. That is BS. I have gone back to Rakuten and it is tracking just fine. Got a 10% with Dell LT today. Others have complained about TCB as well. Small ones seem to hit. It is the larger ones they deny. I even sent in receipts.

Like Dylan, I’ve never had a problem with them either. The time for some to pay is a bit frustrating, but I’ve never had anything not track or pay.

Also, similar to Dylan, I use Chrome incognito for my portal tracking. i have the various extensions that my interfere with tracking set to not run incognito. Use Firefox for my main browsing with all the blockers I want and none of the portal trackers that I don’t want scraping my surfing.

I use my main Chrome browser and only have had a few transactions not track out of probably over 100. TCB is one of the best portals, in my opinion.

For the detractors’ inevitable question, no, I don’t work for TCB.

TCB is the worst. I’m out over $600 in cash back and TCB’s only response to claims is “the retailer network denied and didn’t provide a reason, sorry”.

Why work with retailer networks who never pay out then? Oh because it drives traffic to your site. Bait and switch. Got it.

My large ones were Sams with decent cashback % and Lenovo on larger purchase for laptops. 5-10% range. So at least 50-100 per purchase that were denied. If it works for you and you have large purchases good for you. Like I said Rakuten is 100% right now. Had to verify two with receipt and they added the purchase within a day of the receipt. TCB will take weeks to a month to respond. The only responses I got were like ST above. Retailer Denied. No other reason.

I definitely did this search ysterday. There was no topcashback bonus offer posted. Today there is posted ( EST, I believe) by

Not sure about not getting an email alert but I didn’t see any warning on my comment for having a link (“this comment needs approval”) so it should’ve been showing right away — next time I see a bonus I’ll just make a comment on here without a clickable link (in case the link requires mod approval before my comment shows)

DoC may not be able to keep up with all the comments in all the different threads to post things in time

Please don’t stop posting clickable links. I never seen the rotating banner on tcb as you posted below. I do not know How I’d actvate the bonus without people posting clickable links. These posts are greatly appreciated. I apologize to all for my previous comments.

New one is up for today — rotating banners are the first thing you see when you open TCB website (large pics showing you the current cash back promos/sales going on)
