How does it work?
When you meet the condition specified above for the particular site email me - info at bestcashbacksites.co.uk (replace at with @ and remove the spaces) - and I will get back to you requesting particular information. This might be your member number, date you joined the site etc though it differs from site to site and will be info that you can access easily when logged in to the site.
Once you have replied with this info and the site confirms my referral fee (i.e., it's not still pending), I can then send
you your bonus.
I can PayPal you the bonus or send you a cheque for the amount (minus the price of a 2nd class stamp.) The choice is yours.
So go on, what are you waiting for? Take advantage of these unique offers now and get earning even more!
Note that some of these links take you to the sign-up page. However, all the sites featured, with the exception of Cashbag & eCashRewards, allow you to browse the retailer sections,
forums and so on before you return to the sign-up page (it's appreciated if you use your browser's 'Back' button for this).
Incidentally, GreasyPalm does allow you to browse their retailers - go via their 'Site Map' (link at foot of their page) and then use the retailer categories menu on the left of the next page.
For those sites that don't allow you to browse before you join, why not sign up anyway? It costs you nothing but you've got everything to gain!
Remember - you can be a member of as many cashback sites as you want.
Quick Confirmation & Payment of Daily Cashback
Note that some sites, within a few days or less, confirm and make payable your daily cashback
(subject to minimum payout level being reached).
They are CashBackBay, eCashBack (for all except Carsource), Linemypocket
(for all except Search Anything, fortnightly & Lycos, monthly) and Rewardcircle.
Cashback Rewards usually confirms daily cashback within 3 to 4 weeks.
Other sites require daily cashback to be confirmed in the normal affiliate networks' reporting cycle and it remains 'pending' for 30 to 75 days.

Note - There are 2 other free-to-join cashback sites offering 100% of commission back to you as cashback.
However, due to significant levels of dissatisfaction on internet forums regarding its performance, poor customer service and unreasonable treatment of some members,
it is not possible to recommend the one beginning with Q. Therefore, it is not featured here.
The other one - Cashback Junction - is new to the market & I haven't used it yet.
