Well, I'm not yet ready to go that far, but I will say that TopCashBack has greatly improved the past couple of years and I now use them more than any other cashback site. The reason to use them, though, is because they usually pay the most. I'm not yet convinced they're the most reliable. But they're certainly much more reliable than they used to be. And when things go wrong, I'm generally able to get the transactions credited.

And often do JollyWallet pay better than TopCashBack cheaters

Just an update: A few months ago I had some Staples purchases that didn't track properly, and I had to lodge a claim, which have now all posted correctly. I was very happy with how they handled these claims, and definitely feel that their customer service is very strong in this area.
Unfortunately, I still have a hotels.com transaction that I booked back in April and stayed at in July that I also had to lodge a claim about. It still has not progressed from "Waiting on Merchant" more than five months after having stayed there.
I've had excellent tracking accuracy with numerous merchants with TopCashBack (close to 95%), but neither me nor my partner have had much luck with hotels.com transactions posting without intervention. Part of me wonders if the issue might have something to do with my pattern of booking hotels many months before I complete the stay, but I'm at a loss for why I seem to have so many issues with hotels.com transactions posting correctly when most other merchants post so consistently.

Did a lot of shopping and travel purchases in 4Q and 100% tracked! Much in contrast to other sites where I had to submit claims! Very very happy right now with Topcashback; used to be 95% (in line with others IMO) but recently 100% which I hope they can keep! Earned $800 in a little over a year

Still very happy with TCB. I just sent myself another $28 last night, bringing my total earned in the last year to $230 (and $280 total counting the pending-but-not-posted-yet stuff).

Does anyone live in Europe has good tracking record with TCB? Most of my purchases will be with Marriott and will I get CB with TCB using LNF rates?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

Quick tip: wouldn't it me more helpful if we
- have separate threads for the US and the UK?
- this Conga work as all others, namely: only one affiliate per post, you use the previous person, post your affiliate, next person signs up under you, (s) post hers, etc. The simple way? I don't get this long queue.
