A mother recently shared her success story of earning £550 in cashback over the last year by simply doing her routine shopping. Emily Booth, a 37-year-old resident of Enderby in Leicestershire, discovered the cashback app called tuck. as a way to recoup money on her regular purchases.
tuck. is a platform that offers cashback on everyday expenses by allowing users to purchase gift cards for various retailers, with a cashback percentage applied. For instance, buying a £50 voucher for Asda through tuck. would result in receiving £2 back into the user’s account, which can then be transferred to their bank.
The app features cashback deals with over 200 merchants, including major supermarkets and popular brands in fashion, food, homeware, and dining. Emily, who resides with her family and pets, has utilized tuck. to earn cashback at places like Sainsbury’s, Costa, Argos, IKEA, B&M, New Look, and Prezzo.
Typically spending between £100 and £200 weekly on groceries, Emily earns an average of £3.50 to £5 in cashback each week on her routine purchases, with the amount increasing when she makes additional buys. Last year alone, she amassed £553.07 in cashback, with her largest cashback earning stemming from putting £800 onto an IKEA gift card during a house move, which resulted in a £48 cashback.
Expressing her satisfaction with tuck., Emily mentioned how it has become a regular part of her shopping routine. She emphasized its convenience and speed compared to other apps she had used previously. Emily now checks the app before every purchase and has made saving money through cashback a fundamental aspect of her spending habits.
She saves her cashback earnings, withdrawing them monthly into a savings account where they accrue interest. Her goal is to accumulate £500 throughout the year to cover Christmas expenses, after which she allocates the funds towards holiday spending. Users can withdraw their cashback as a gift card to avoid a 30p processing fee.
Neel Thakrar, the CEO of tuck., commended Emily’s strategy of consistent savings through cashback, emphasizing how it can lead to substantial benefits over time. He highlighted the app’s purpose of helping individuals maximize their spending potential and achieve financial goals through everyday purchases.
