A mother shared how she earned £550 in cashback over the previous year by simply doing her routine shopping. Emily Booth, 37, residing in Enderby, Leicestershire, began utilizing the cashback app called tuck. to recoup money on her existing purchases.

Tuck. is a cashback platform that enables users to receive cashback on everyday expenses. It operates by allowing individuals to purchase gift cards for various retailers, with a cashback percentage applied.

For instance, if you purchase a £50 Asda voucher through tuck., you will receive £2 back in your account. The cashback can then be transferred to your bank account. The gift cards function like standard retailer gift cards, where any remaining balance can be carried forward for future use.

The app provides cashback options with over 200 retailers, including major supermarkets and popular brands in fashion, food and drink, homeware, and dining. Emily, who resides with her spouse, two children, two cats, and two rabbits, has utilized tuck. to earn cashback at stores such as Sainsbury’s, Costa, Argos, IKEA, B&M, New Look, and Prezzo.

On average, Emily spends between £100 and £200 weekly on groceries, earning approximately £3.50 to £5 in cashback each week on her regular shopping, with higher returns when making additional purchases. Last year, Emily accumulated £553.07 in cashback. Her largest cashback earning came from loading £800 onto an IKEA gift card during a house move, which resulted in a £48 cashback.

Emily incorporates checking the app before making any purchase into her routine and has involved her children in this weekly habit. The app has influenced her spending habits, prompting her to seek cashback and discounts to avoid paying full price whenever possible.

She saves her cashback rewards and transfers them monthly to a savings account where they accrue interest. Emily’s goal is to accumulate £500 for Christmas expenses before allocating any surplus funds to holiday spending.

While there is a 30p processing fee for cashback withdrawals, users can bypass this fee by opting to receive their balance as a gift card instead.

Neel Thakrar, the CEO of tuck., commended Emily’s approach, highlighting how consistent savings can lead to substantial benefits. He emphasized the app’s purpose of helping individuals maximize their spending and achieve financial goals by leveraging cashback rewards.
