Quidco/TopCashback rates with retailers

[donald2007]

It is possible to earn varying amounts of cashback with these two websites. Generally the train operator will award a higher rate on their own services, but I want to know what the technical application is here.

Does the fare setter need to be the same company to get the higher cashback rate or does the the journey need to be entirely on their metal?

Hence, TPE award 1.05% on other tickets and a reasonable 4.72% on their own tickets. According to BR Fares the fare for my journey is set by TPE. Does this make it a TPE journey for the purposes of the cashback? Or is the requirement a journey consisting solely of TPE services.

I've just double-checked. I've used FTPE once with Top Cashback, for a series of advance singles routed both FTPE only and FTPE + connections.

I would appear to have got 4 and a bit % for all the tickets.

Northern tend to usually have quite good cashback offers on Quidco.

I tend to go for the one that offers the most at the time, for all tickets at present that's Northern on Quidco but in the past it's been Virgin, RSH and EMT.

Northern tend to usually have quite good cashback offers on Quidco.

I will almost always use Northern through quidco. Not always because theyre the best rate (but often are) but because they get the payments out so quickly!

Seems like Northern have stopped cashback altogether, but Hull trains is doing 5% on Quidco and works fine for all TOC's.
