## What you get

A **£20 welcome bonus** added on top of the £10+ of confirmed cashback you earned to qualify. Paid out by BACS into your UK bank account, usually within a few business days of requesting the payout.

## How to claim

1. Open the referral link **https://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/bblueprint** and create a free TopCashback account.
2. Add your UK bank account in account settings (required for BACS payout).
3. Click out from TopCashback to any qualifying retailer and complete a purchase. Use gift cards (Amazon, M&S, Tesco, Argos, Costa) for the fastest, instantly-payable cashback.
4. Once your **confirmed** cashback reaches £10, request a BACS payout.
5. £20 welcome bonus is added on top and paid into your UK bank account within a few business days.

## Pro tip — clear £10 in one purchase

Gift Cards on TopCashback are usually **instantly payable**. Buy a **£250 Amazon gift card at ~4%** and you've cleared the £10 threshold and unlocked the £20 bonus the same day. Spend the gift card later on something you were going to buy anyway → effective £30 of value (£10 cashback + £20 bonus) for free.

## Eligibility

- UK resident with a UK bank account
- Brand-new TopCashback member (no prior account on the email or household)
- Must sign up **via a referral link** (a direct topcashback.co.uk sign-up does NOT qualify)
- Must earn £10 confirmed within 3 years of sign-up
- Must withdraw via BACS — other payout methods do not release the £20

## Classic vs Plus

| Feature | Classic (free) | Plus (£5/year) |
|---|---|---|
| Annual fee | £0 | £5 (deducted from cashback) |
| Cashback share | 100% of merchant commission | 100% + selected uplifts |
| £20 welcome bonus | Yes | Yes |
| BACS payout fee | £0 | £0 |
| PayPal payout fee | Standard | Fee-free |
| Priority support | No | Yes |

New members are placed on **Plus by default** — switch to Classic in settings if you'd rather avoid the £5 fee. The £5 is only deducted from cashback already earned, never your bank.

## TopCashback vs Quidco

| Feature | TopCashback | Quidco |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome bonus | £20 (after £10 confirmed) | £10 (after £5 confirmed) |
| Free tier | Classic (100% commission) | Standard (100% commission) |
| Paid tier | Plus £5/year | Premium £5/year |
| Payout methods | BACS, PayPal, gift cards, Amazon | BACS, PayPal |
| Retailers | 5,000+ | 4,500+ |
| Trustpilot | 4.6 (200k+ reviews) | 4.5 (140k+ reviews) |

The two don't conflict — sign up to both and shop via whichever rate is higher per retailer. Combined: £30 of welcome bonuses.

## Make sure cashback tracks

- Always start the click from TopCashback (web or app), not the retailer
- Disable ad-blockers; accept cookies on TopCashback and the retailer
- Complete checkout in the same window — no detours
- Only use voucher codes listed on the retailer's TopCashback page
- One retailer, one click, one tab at a time
- If not appearing in 7 days, file a Missing Cashback Claim with the order reference
