We have just realized we have been scammed for several months with Shopperdiscount.com and now a 'piggy-back' My-Time_Rewards doing the same thing. We noticed, late, £10monthly debits appearing on Bank Statements. This is surely CRIMINAL and yet has been continuing for years, by the looks of it. Thankfully, after calling and clarifying that we had signed up INADVERTENTLY for this on TrainLine / MandMDirect checkout we are in the process of recuperating the stolen money and will be all the more VIGILANT in future. P.S> @ ''THE REAL BOB'' this -offer- was at the checkout stage, pretending to be a discoiunt for NEXT purchase / train travel, it was very subtle, I don't recall seeing T&C PLEASE CAN SOMEONE put a STOP to this unbelievable, INTERNATIONAL, ILLEGAL, DEVIOUS robbery!!!

A middleman with nothing to sell creates a business by setting up a website, collecting lots of offers and telling the consumer buy this from me instead of the retailer and I'll give you £5.00 back. The retailer now how a network of websites selling their product for which they only pay on results. The iincentive increases the number of sales for the retailer and prices are fixed to maintain margins. They are loads of catches on whether or not cashback is paid. Not 100% of consumers receive their cashback. Arrington also call it cashback.
