Welcome to our quarterly Member Spotlight Series! We want to learn more about how our members are using their Cash Back to help with life’s everyday expenses—or if they’re saving it all up for a rainy day.
Each season we’ll be interviewing a different member so that you can hear their side of the story. For our Summer 2025 edition, you get to meet Nicole L. from Deltona, Florida. Read on to find out what she had to say.
TopCashback: For how many years have you been a member of TopCashback? What made you decide to join?
Nicole: I joined TopCashback in 2016. I was curious about the possibility of receiving Cash Back on different purchases and finding coupons and special sales more easily through the site.
TopCashback: What do you like to use your Cash Back earnings for? Do you prefer to spend it right away or save it up?
Nicole: I usually save up my Cash Back earnings to reach somewhere between $10 to $30 before cashing out. I tend to use it for special occasions such as anniversaries, Christmas or other holidays that typically cost a bit more than my usual spending.
TopCashback: What are some of your favorite retailers to shop at through TopCashback?
Nicole: While I check TopCashback every time I want to make a purchase online—be it for goods or even events or activities—I have a few select retailers that I visit most often through the site, which are Chewy, Walmart and Groupon.
TopCashback: Are there any products that you typically shop for more during the spring season?
Nicole: I don't do a lot of seasonal shopping (items tend to be less expensive in the offseason), but I do shop for the occasional outdoor or water toy for my dogs or kid during the summer months—or whatever summer items go on sale at the time.
TopCashback: Do you have a favorite TopCashback memory?
Nicole: While I do not have a specific favorite TopCashback moment, I do get excited every time I want to make a purchase online and find the retailer on TopCashback—especially when the Cash Back rates are high. The special bonus offers of $2.50 for eligible purchases are also always much welcomed—as are fun games like Sweet Treats.
TopCashback: How has shopping with us made an impact on your savings?
Nicole: TopCashback has helped me so many times already, including being able to afford a little extra for holidays or even during tougher financial times. I am very grateful and happy that I gave in to my curiosity back in 2016 and signed up for TopCashback. Definitely a very good decision!
