Quick Thoughts
Over the years, I’ve used countless shopping portals. Some have come and gone, and many new ones have sprouted up. Over the last couple of years, I’ve started to consolidate which I personally use. In fact, just the other day I thought to log in and check some that I haven’t used in quite a while and cash them out.
However, TopCashBack is one that I personally use frequently because the payouts are often among the highest and my orders through them have consistently tracked. I am careful with regards to portal shopping and follow many best practices: I use one browser to shop and another to buy. I keep my “buying” browser “clean” by installing no plugins, toolbars, etc. Once I know exactly what I want to buy, I go to that clean browser and start at the shopping portal, clicking through, filling my cart, and checking out. I can’t think of a time I had a problem with TopCashBack when following those practices. Furthermore, my handful of interactions with staff have been excellent. They have even launched a dedicated support email address for those who encounter any issues with promotions, so if you have any questions or comments for them, direct them to promotions@topcashback.
Note: We do not earn any commission on this offer but rather the entire bonus gets passed along to you. TopCashBack has given this offer to the readers of just a few blogs, ours being among them. This is the best sign up bonus TopCashBack has ever offered. We certainly believe in passing on the best offers to readers when we see them, and this is a solid deal for those new to TopCashBack.
Of course, I always compare portal rates with a tool like CashBackMonitor. At this time of year, it is not uncommon to see rates change during the day and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see some good payouts over the coming week that make it easy to earn that $10 bonus. To be clear, I have no advance knowledge of any planned TopCashBack promotion here, I’m just speculating based on past experience that portals, just like all of the major stores, will likely compete for your business this week.
This promotion runs along the same lines as my post yesterday morning about picking low-hanging fruit. If you haven’t shopped via TopCashBack before, you might as well pick up an easy thirty-five bucks here.

[…] has once offered a $35 bonus when signing up, but other than that a $30 bonus is as high as it gets and so it’s a great […]
Not sure where else to post it, but I recently realized that the TopCashBack payout can be in the form of a Hotels.com gift card (for the amount of payout plus 5% bonus), which, for my purposes, changed this to a travel cash back site.
They also sometimes offer a 5% or 6% bonus on virtual Visa Gift Card redemption. Since Hotels.com gift cards frequently go on sale for 10 to 15% off, you may be better off waiting for an opportune time to cash out for a virtual Visa gift card and then use it to buy a discounted hotels.com gift card if that’s what you ultimately want.
The links not working for me, can you check it? Thanks.
I already had an account and so did my wife. So, I signed up my daughter, who lives in another state. She will be happy that I did!
When does the 10% in cashback need to be earned by?
It’s $10 not 10% (and the article does not say) and my guess is that many will get just over that limit only to find one of their cashbacks denied for an arbitrary reason, thus making them Lucy and you Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. YMMV with TopCashBack.
As Billy Bob says, it’s $10 that you need to earn in cash back. In past promotions, there hasn’t been a time limit — you usually just need to sign up by the deadline and then whenever you reach $10 in cash back, you get the bonus. I’ll email and see if I can get an official answer.
Nick, did you find out that answer? Does $10 need to be earned by today?
Any word back? I bought just over $50 worth of items at Macys over the weekend and my order tracked. However, I just received an email from Macy’s stating that a thermal henley I purchased is apparently discontinued, which compromises my bonus at TopCashBack.
Yes, I just heard back today. As I suspected, the earning period has no expiration date — as long as you signed up before the sign-up offer expired on 12/1 at 23:59, you can earn your $10 in cash back as quickly or slowly as you please. Whenever you reach $10 in earned cash back, you’ll trigger the $35 bonus.
I bought a $100 Happy card for 10% off. That is the easy way to get to $10,
A Happy card for 10% off? I’m not sure what you mean. You need to earn $10 back via Top Cash Back. Where are you buying the Happy card?
The TopCashback portal has an offer at Giftcards.com for 10% off Happy cards.
Ah, I see. That’s not 10% off, that’s 10% back. That’s a key distinction — 10% off means you pay $90, which wouldn’t earn $10 cash back. In this case, you’re paying $100 but getting 10% back from TopCashBack. That means $10 back, which would trigger the $35.
I know that functionally it’s the same as 10% off, but the key here is making sure that everyone knows you must earn $10 back.
My bad! I guess that is why I am not a blogger and you are! Yep, it was 10% back. Next time I will word my post more carefully because it is a BIG distinction.
I did the same but they only gave me 1% back when it should have been 10%. Did you get the 10% back? I submitted a claim nearly 3 months ago and am still waiting on a decision.
