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.

Complete Savings lists 10%, but it's a paid membership you can only join through an offer at another shop's checkout, so it isn't ranked.

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 Hive terms before you buy.
