Transpennine seems doesn't award cashback to non-Transpennine tickets according to the T&C in CashbackJust to pass on my pleasing discovery that the Chiltern Railways website gives 5% cashback on all tickets if you go via TopCashback. Free 1st class delivery also (gasp). Prior to this I was using TransPennine to get 1.05%. The right amounts have tracked already:

Haven't checked this one but in every other cashback deal I've looked at the answer is "no", and I i.agine it would be for this one too. Aside from the tiny profit margins, they will only pay cashback after your journey date to stop people claiming cashback then getting a refund. This would be a long wait with an annual season.Does this apply to season tickets too ?

5.75 per cent from Chiltern on Quidco
I am a Firefox user and have just booked on Quidco via my laptop, quoting 5%. The Chiltern side has worked fine - I booked four 'walk-up' tickets to collect at station machines, paying by credit card.Chiltern 5% cashback seems to alternate back and forth between TCB and Quidco. I had some fail to track, but they paid up when I put in a claim.
I found the latest version of firefox was blocking some of the tracking, so now use a seperate profile with track protection disabled for purchases.
There website is a bit slow, and twice (out of 50 odd transactions) I've booked tickets, paid on card, but it failed, it comes back and said it didn't work try again, but my credit card mobile app told me they had charged me, so I didn't retry. The email with the TOC code had arrived shortly afterwards. However both of those transactions the cashback didn't track, the claim for the first one is now settled and they paid up.

Quidco has told me it is tracking my visit, but Chiltern hasn't appeared yet as a pending transaction. When would I expect to see a reference to Chiltern on Quidco?
Wow, that's interesting. None of my tickets were for Chiltern either (just under £50's-worth). They are now in my hand after collecting them from a local ticket m/c.Update:
I phoned them, and they said they cancelled the tickets due to "suspected fraud" "because the journey was not on Chiltern Railways routes". I have asked the fraud department to write to me to explain what was fraudulent about buying train tickets.
