^^^What is Line My Pocket?^^^

URL is: www.linemypocket.co.uk.

Line My Pocket does exactly what it says it does. It lines the pocket with many coppers - they are all welcome of course - it is much safer than a Maxwell pension fund and the deals 'do' widen the eyes from time to time. The site has no frills and has not changed from it's earlier embryo state, for the last three years. The sites navigational coggs are still working well and updates are being made on a daily basis. The site is on average 1 day quicker than most cashback sites. Most payments are made within 3 days and that includes Sundays. I've not witnessed any form of 'downtime' outages from the site so far and that is unusual for a 3 year user span.

For those who want this cashback site for their collection, you cannot ask for more classics for user friendliness. This site is a masterpiece. The shopping and retail scope is endless. Shopping online has become a real accet with this cashback system. The sales hungary retail merchants are swimming in to the wider oceans with line my pocket's client base alone. For those of you who like 'money for nothing', well don't we all. In my opinion this cashback system is the 'Frank Detori' on Derby day... It wins hands down.

What is very noticeable is the type of retaillers who are advertising their offers, the retaillers are mainly blue-chip companies with money clout. Of course you see the quick 'flyby night' traders who use up their marketing funds and then move-on, but the main-stayers are blue-chip companies. The deals are getting better as Line My Pockets database grows. I think this is vital when using a cashback site regulary.

- Retaillers and updates -

I'm not going to list every retailler on this review as the best thing to do is to register yourselves on the site and view what deals and cash-offers for yourselves. You can pick a subject matter from any of the navigation lists. What will be shown is a brief headline type message of what the deal is and what the cashback or percentage cashback sale is. Sometimes the retailler provides an expiry date to when the deal is likely to end, however, many offers stay on and go on beyond expiry dates and re-list deals that have been successful.

Yep, Line My Pocket is another cashback site, and appears no different than many others you see or stumble across. The difference with this gem is I can assure you that I'm not going to review another cashback site such as www.britishrewards.co.uk. The reason is because everyone after the pioneering few... have tried to emulate the earlier cashback systems. Many of the others have problems in confirming cashbacks quickly, they go beyond their own cashback deadlines. Instead of 3 days you find it takes 5-6 days. They appear to have more downtime outages, which is due to the traffic demand and then the cusumer gets irritated and moves on. Not to return again. A decent cashback system has to be efficent in service as well as promise.

I've shopped around and have tried to look at other unique selling points that each of the cashback systems have. There is not a lot between them all. So the way I look at is to then go by the most reliable, for majority of the time. By going to everyone and testing them all out can be a real headache. In the end it is not cost effective. Though their are quicker means to make the whole mental strain of repetitive form filling much better.

- Helpful hint -

* Have a look at getting yourself a free piece of software called 'Robot forms'. This software fills in all your data (not passwords) when prompted. You can get this from the download centre. www.download.com It can be very useful and can save you so much time, when filling out tonnes of registeration data*

-Line My Pocket.. The cashback system-

Line my pocket has a substantial amount of cashback merchants, this is helped by it was one of the first pioneer cashback sites that started about 4 years ago.

Since then there have been many cashback sites that have tried to emulate the successes of the earlier pioneers. Quite a few have failed and have changed it's name because all in all the cashback money system is a thriving business. The cashback systems gives consumers something back when online shopping. Not only is buying online cheaper than high street prices, but many retaillers give back up to 2-5% back in cashbacks. Line my pocket have made the most of this.

Now I advise businesses to envelope a cashback scheme. I've sent small start-up businesses to Line My Pocket to advertise with them and build up a cashback system with them. I've had reports back saying they are very reasonable... comparing to the extortionate costs of having a brochure printed, for that solitary one contract. At least with Line My Pocket you are going to get that steady custom, even if it is just to build up a huge active client base.

- My experience -

I now smile at myself, when surfing a few years ago, searching everywhere for deals online, money making schemes, cash rewards that work. What if it's a 'con'? Looking at all the cashback vouchers, 10p, 25p, anything would do. I even spent money on pointless campaigns on referring clients to banks for a cash sum, this particular bank made money for my efforts without sending any rewards back. At least that does not happen anymore while going through Line My Pocket. They deal with the money and make sure payment is available and on time.

There are many online schemes that always had weird targets in small print. Referrals which were on paper superb to read but impossible to make money out of, unless you physically get 20 people a day to click onto links and signup to paid schemes. Yeah that will work.


The great thing about Line My Pocket is that the navigation is so simple. Online traders are all available in easy money, top deal categories. All alphabetical. The payment method goes into you own 'my account ' details. The minimal withdrawal fee is £5.00 and that can be sent straight to your high street bank or to your Paypal account. It usually takes 7 day, which is mandatory.

- Freebies and Easy cash offers -

These 2 sections is a worthwhile look. Cashback for getting free brochures and surveys sending Ecards or just by giving your email address and filling out registerations for online lotto's. Cashback for click on links and doing searches. It really can get obsessive. I would gauge yourself and be wary of the amount of time on these schemes. Do your homework and make a note on MS Wordpad what deals you have taken up as many need confirmation by clicking onto a URL link to activate any monies due.

- My verdict -

I give Line My Pocket 8/10 for the navigation and site itself. The deals and updates have recently got very good. The fact that now they have introduced a newsletter forum with all the daily and monthly deals has improved that side of communications immensely. I love the personalised 'my account' data. This is when you see all your cashback's listed. Line My Pocket makes the whole cashback system a great experience.

Highly recommended.

Good luck and start fishing out those bargains.
