If you already know where you want to shop, this directory is designed to answer one question quickly: where should I check for cashback before I pay?
The “150+” in this guide reflects Quidco’s current official claim that its digital gift-card range covers more than 150 retailers. It does not mean every one of those retailers is reproduced here or that every shop offers cashback through every provider. This directory highlights useful UK categories and brands, while the live provider directories remain the source of truth for availability and rates.
How to use this cashback directory
- Find the retailer or category you are about to use.
- Check traditional tracked cashback on TopCashback and Quidco.
- Check whether a digital gift-card route is available.
- Check card-linked/in-store offers if relevant.
- Compare the final price, not just the headline cashback percentage.
- Read exclusions before buying.
Four cashback routes worth checking
Tracked cashback
TopCashback currently promotes more than 5,500 brands. Quidco says it offers cashback at more than 5,000 retailers. Rates and eligibility vary by retailer and customer type.
Digital gift-card cashback
TopGiftCards currently advertises up to 18% fast-track cashback across its range. Quidco currently advertises up to 18% across its gift-card range and says more than 150 retailers are available.
Card-linked/in-store cashback
Quidco currently promotes in-store cashback after connecting an eligible debit or credit card, with a platform headline of up to 6.8%. Participating retailers change, so check live before visiting.
Cashback or reward payment cards
Your bank or card issuer may have separate retailer offers. These are independent of cashback portals and may sometimes stack, subject to each offer’s rules.
Supermarkets and food shopping
Current provider pages show supermarket gift-card options including Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury’s, M&S, Iceland and Farmfoods. TopGiftCards also promotes gift cards for weekly food shops.

Fashion and beauty
Quidco’s current fashion and beauty gift-card page highlights brands including Adidas, Boots, JD Sports, Marks & Spencer, New Look and Primark. Traditional portal cashback may also be available for many fashion retailers, but the live rate can differ from the gift-card route.
Other popular names worth checking across the live provider directories include ASOS, H&M and major department stores. Do not assume a brand shown in an old article remains eligible today.
Home, furniture and DIY
TopGiftCards currently displays examples such as IKEA, B&Q and Argos. Quidco also maintains a home-and-DIY gift-card category. Before a large home purchase, compare portal cashback with any gift-card option and consider whether using a gift card changes your preferred payment protection.
Coffee, takeaway and eating out
Quidco’s current takeaway and coffee gift-card category lists examples including Caffè Nero, Costa, Deliveroo, Just Eat, Starbucks and Uber Eats. TopGiftCards also promotes cards for coffees and meals out.
Small percentages can add up on genuinely habitual spending, but prepaid coffee credit is not a saving if it makes you visit more often.
Entertainment and experiences
Digital gift-card providers commonly cover cinemas, experiences and leisure brands. Check the live gift-card directory and traditional cashback portal before buying tickets or an experience voucher. Pay particular attention to expiry dates and cancellation rules.
Travel
Traditional cashback portals can be particularly useful for hotels, travel booking sites, airport parking, car hire and travel extras. Compare the final booking price directly as well as through cashback links. A higher cashback percentage does not automatically mean a cheaper trip.
For travel, also check cancellation terms before allowing a cashback offer to influence the booking route.
Technology and subscriptions
Technology retailers, software subscriptions and digital services frequently appear on cashback portals. For subscriptions, calculate the full annual cost after any introductory period. A one-off cashback payment can hide a much larger recurring cost.
You can use our UK Subscription Cost Calculator to see what recurring payments add up to.

This is deliberately a verified working directory rather than a copied 150-row rate table. Provider ranges are much larger, but retailer participation and rates move. We will expand this page only with brands checked against current provider pages.
How to decide between tracked cashback and gift-card cashback
Use tracked cashback when the portal has a strong eligible rate and you are comfortable waiting for validation. A gift-card route may suit regular spending where you know you will use the balance soon and understand the redemption terms.
Do not choose a gift card purely because the percentage looks higher. Prepayment reduces flexibility, and refunds or consumer-protection arrangements may differ.
Do not chase the highest percentage
Imagine Retailer A sells an item for £100 with 5% cashback and Retailer B sells the same item for £92 with no cashback. The £92 purchase is still cheaper. Cashback should sit at the end of price comparison, not replace it.

Bottom line
The useful question is not “which cashback site is always best?” It is “what cashback routes exist for the purchase I am already planning?” Check the live portals, gift-card providers and card-linked offers, compare the final price and read the exclusions. This directory will be refreshed as provider coverage changes.
