TCB, as much as I would criticize its practice, though, does offer Highest Cashback Guarantee. It's like BRG claim in the hotel world.
I had bitter experience overall with TCB cashback but interestingly I had great experience with Highest Cashback Guarantee claims: made three claims, all on Staples (matched to upromise's 5.5%), got approved in one day.
The sad thing is, they just don't track every order before you can make HCG claim..

BeFrugal.com Best Cash Back Rate Guarantee Terms
It's a 125% match but it has a limit of one per store per member with a maximum credit of $25 per transaction.
TopCashBack's Highest Cashback Guarantee is much more liberal in comparison with none of the same limits as BeFrugal as far as I can tell.

Also worth knowing is that BeFrugal has a coupon guarantee.

I found that by accident. I had an issue with a click-through not pushing through correctly to the merchant site. I did some rigorous testing and determined the error was on the BeFrugal end.
I submitted a site feedback issue just hoping it would eventually get fixed, and instead ended up using a competitor cash back site which I noted in the site feedback submission.
Here's the reply I received:
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention, we appreciate your feedback.
I believe the problem was with the link we had posted. I tested it just recently and it appeared to be broken or expired. We have since removed the broken offer and are updating it with a new, working link. I do apologize for any inconvenience.
BeFrugal does offer a Coupon Guarantee. Since you were unable to make your purchase through BeFrugal due to the invalid link, I am crediting your account $5. You should see this activity when you log in.
Please let me know if you encounter any more problems, I would be happy to assist you.

I can't believe I forgot to mention that prior. Probably because it's old hat for me.
I do that with every cash back site, among other online sites.
I suggest others to the same. It's pretty easy to set up a screen capture application to make this a very automated and seamless process just using a hotkey.

I've had multiple transactions not credit, and the response from TCB has been underwhelming, to the point that I've stopped trying to claim credit. I have a referral credit that's been pending for over a year as well.

That`s their strategy-to get you and others they don`t intend to pay overwhelmed. It is entertaining how they respond though. Just like from a book written about dishonest practices. In my case, they asked me to "write back to us if you don`t get the issue resolved in 4 weeks" multiple times. They are not cutting me off because they want me to give up like others did. Not a chance. They stole money, which were given to my name, not theirs, by merchants.

They are not going to do anything about that but will continue to lie. They are very good at that. BBB is investigating them already. Waiting for a response from Attorney General and then with about a thousand folks (and counted) who are interested to get their money back from crooks TCB will be filing more complaints and a class action case. That`s the only way to get the money.

Those others are mostly bloggers who get referral $$ to post about TCB (that`s how I "found" TCB). I would recommend to google "topcashback scam", "topcashback complaints" and such. You`ll be amazed. I wish I read about them before I spent my money using those scumbags.

We don't make any guarantees, but cashback generally takes 2-3 months to become payable. Where a transaction fails to track, which is comparatively rare, we investigate this with the merchant and we do work hard to resolve the problem although we don't generally post an update on a claim until we have a resolution. We are required to submit these in batches every few weeks and again, we expect these to be resolved within 2-3 months. If you find that it takes longer than this, please submit a support ticket. This will be answered within a few days and an update will be provided on your claim.
[/QUOTE] Kat007, can you email [email protected] so that I can access your account and have a look into your claim?

I assume you are John, who wrote me at least a dozen times the same thing on other boards, but yet to fail to solve anything when I contacted you. I even warned you about my further legal actions, but you ignored me. The show must stop.

I can't make any assumptions about your experience, and have refrained from doing so.
Someone from TopCashback has reached out here, and is at least trying to help you. If you've not followed his/her advice and sent the e-mail they suggested today - no matter how many other e-mails/tickets you've sent in the past - I'm not sure you can expect any resolution.
If it were me, I'd at least make the effort and see what develops. Assumptions based on past experiences aren't always correct.

If you "Google" nearly any company and scam/complaint, you're going to find results. A ton of companies are listed on RipoffReport alone.
Even other cash back companies, including EBates and a number of others.
