Just saw this deal which is absolutely amazing. Anyone who hasn’t joined TopCashback are missing out on many deals like this and this and this in a single month.

Tracking with TCB has been amazing since the very start and they’ve always been my go-to cashback provider.

    Hey guys. Hope you are all well.

    We’ve noticed some comments around the sustainability of our model, and we wanted to share more about it. You’re right that $50 is a generous sign-up bonus, and it’s fair to wonder how that’s possible.

    TopCashback has been around for 20+ years across multiple countries, and we’ve grown profitably (without debt or outside investors) by keeping cashback as our main focus. In fact, we’re now the market leader in several of those countries.

    Unlike many cashback sites that hold back 20-50% of commission to fund larger teams or big marketing budgets, we reinvest all of it straight back into our members. Our approach is simple: offer the best rates, build long-term loyalty, and grow sustainably. It may seem unusual at first, but it’s worked for decades, and as our community grows, we can keep securing even stronger offers for you.

    All the very best, and thank you for the continued support. TA.

      Given one just collapsed I'm not sure how accurate that is.

      They are burning a lot of money trying to gain customers but not making much profit.

      It seems Shopback has only recently become profitable, and has lost money for many years before that.

              A good example is the $2.7B government help for qantas during covid, they werent even smart enough to ask for a stake in qantas in exchange and qantas was in no obligation to repay. They reported record profits in 2024 ($2B) and didnt even pay that tax payer money back.

      I dont think that there is much profit considering covid, post covid and inflation.

      Honestly, not sure if its a good buisness decision to offer that high of a cashback. If they get 2k signups, thats an immediate $200k loss considering the risk of only a small percentage will remain loyal and a higher percentage will make multiple accounts with a new ip /device / burner phone number.

      Just look at CR, collapsed with the backing of a bank with a market capitalization as of $91 billion.

      I think we are at a point where companies should be looking at being sustainable and rewarding loyal customers rather than throwing out money and hoping for the best because history shows us what the outcomes are.

      • KangaDrew on 11/09/2025 - 08:58

        If they get 2k signups, thats an immediate $200k loss

        Immediate? Not quite.

        Terms and Conditions applying to the Referred Member (New TopCashback Member)

        To then be awarded the bonus, the new member must first reach the threshold of $10 in payable cashback. The sign-up bonus will be redeemable via the member’s account and can be withdrawn via bank transfer or Paypal only.

        You must earn the $10 cashback within 180 days from your sign up date to release your $50 sign up bonus. If the $10 threshold is not met within this 180 day period, the sign up bonus will no longer be valid and will be cancelled on the new member's account.

        $50 sign-up credit is non-transferable.

        The $50 sign up bonus will become payable once the $10 earnt cashback has achieved payable status.

        While the criteria isn't too challenging, a large number of people don't (and won't) read the fine print. So it's not an immediate loss. It has the potential to be a high loss, but in all likelihood, it won't hit them hard.

        • easternculture on 11/09/2025 - 09:02
          +1

          it won't hit them hard

          You reckon. As stated, best recent example is CR and ANZ. And thats even without offering that much of an incentive. Surely a bank that made nearly 4 billion profit last year could throw in a few million to save a company.

          That should be taken as a example to practice extreme caution in this line of business.

      • ihbh on 11/09/2025 - 13:47

        Just look at CR, collapsed with the backing of a bank with a market capitalization as of $91 billion.

        Backing - nope. CR was in the equivalent of a very small PE fund held by the bank, that had to succeed on its own merits, not get handouts from the parent. The bank ain't wasting s/hr money for the heck of it.

          Alright. Keep telling yourself that.

          When a company starts throwing money like that, its usually a sign that they are desperate and/or on the verge of administration.

          First we had cheddar that ceased operation after 2 years in 2023, now CR in 2025. And cheddar used to throw money too (first it was $25 signup bonus to $50 to $70)

    Pretty upset with TCB regarding this. Last time they had an upsized cashback, a family member bought a mobile plan that is still awaiting correction (should've been $70 cashback, not ~$11). So neither of us have received the bonus yet, that's if we get it at all.

      Yesterday the referrer got $50 (I thought it was less) and the referee got $20. The max cashback from CW was $15. So that's a total of $85.

      Today they both get $50, which is a total $100 already. You have to earn $10 cashback within 180 days which is very easy. And I'm pretty sure the referral bonus yesterday had some requirements too.

      Unless I'm misunderstanding everything, isn't today's deal already $15 better overall, but obviously for the referee?

  • ohbargain on 11/09/2025 - 11:00

    what to buy to get $10 cashback easily and not spending too much?
