Worth noting that Quidco are offering 5% rail cashback through Expedia bookings, the highest I have seen. They are a bit slow paying up though.

Now it's Topcashback's turn. They are doing the 5% Expedia rail cashback offer this week. The Expedia payments seem to take about 4 weeks before they are payable on Topcashback.

TPE Club 55 spring 2018 offer

I picked up a printed sheet about this offer from a TPE stand at Manchester Victoria this afternoon. TPE Club 55 starts again on Sunday 22nd April until Saturday 19th May for outward travel. Return travel is within a month of outward. No travel before 09.30 on Monday to Friday, travel any time at weekends or bank holidays. The prices are the same as the autumn 2017 offer: £21 return in England (£41 first class), £31 return to/from Scotland (£61 first class). For some reason Manchester Airport is excluded from this offer. Tickets will be on sale no later than today 13th April.

I cannot find this on the TPE site. Do you have a link?

Northern rail £10 offer 7 May to 15 July including half term in May (that's unusual is it not?).
Usual time restrictions.
List of papers on northern website and unlike the last offer, they have included the Blackpool Gazette and Lytham St Anne's Express again.

That is good, well spotted. I understand that the omission last time was because of the line closure, they assumed we would not want them!

I'm glad it's back on again, I can feel some more unit and shack bashing coming up and perhaps some Cumbrian loco mileage too. :D:D

"Fife for a Fiver": Scotrail have an offer running through to 15 June giving, in effect, a super offpeak day return from any station in Fife, to either Dundee or Edinburgh, for £5 if booked through a Scotrail online account (but not using their app): your registered address has to have one of the specified Fife postcodes. There are time restrictions for travel Monday to Friday. There is no limit on the number of £5 tickets that you may buy during the offer period. Child fare is £2.50 but no other railcard etc discounts. No break of journey except to change trains. Here's the link:

Save from last promo seems to be the only way.

Seems unfair. I guess using a prepaid Visa/Mastercard without address verification would allow any short-term visitors to the area to buy one of these tickets.

I think it means the address you've included in your personal details on your Scotrail online account, rather than the billing address for your payment card.

Expedia do not seem have any cashback on either TopCashback or Quidco anymore. It was 5% last time I checked. Does anyone know why this is? I was about to buy some tickets through them but might not bother now

I bought a couple of tickets separately on Sunday night, I noticed I was charged £1 booking fee on each which I wasn’t aware of.

They are very naughty and do charge you £1 but don't worry this gets refunded when the payment for the tickets goes through. It won't appear on your statement for this month. Which site did you use to click through to them? What rate was the cashback and has it appeared in your account yet?

I used Quidco and it claimed I was getting 5% but on checking my account just there for a £42 ticket I only got £1.26 cashback (be interesting to see if I get that booking fee back of £1 as that would make £2.26 which is close to 5%!)

Nothing registered yet for the other ticket as of yet.
