Earn points instead of cash

These pay airline or Virgin points, not money. We value a point at about 0.5p to give a rough cash equivalent; what yours are worth depends on how you spend them.

Cashback is often excluded on gift cards, marketplace sellers and orders using a voucher code the cashback site doesn't list. Check the site's Etsy terms before you buy.

Swapped cards: buy the card through the cashback site, then swap it for a Etsy gift card (Lifestyle gift card online) and use that as normal. That cashback tracks like online cashback, so it pays out weeks later; the apps pay instantly.
