Dreadful experience
Booked September 2024 cashback finally declined at end of January and it was a significant sum. Took the problem up with Topcashback and they sorted it out very promptly. Looks like I'm not the only one with the same problem judging by the comments already here. Shameful on BA's part.

Paid in the end!
Had to chase long overdue payments well beyond stated 12 weeks after travel. Frustrating when spending £25k with them in 2 years!

I forgot all about this as it took so long
It took 17 months for the money to finally be approved. Good grief!

Disappointing Company
Had so many claims denied, and when you do get one accepted it takes about a year to get your money

Will only payout if you chase!
So slow at paying out. Often the cashback doesn't track or comes as £0, forcing me to keep chasing. Not worth the hassle or time, other airlines like Emirates are much better.

Very slow
The payout took over a year to come through from the point of booking and 4 months from the date of the flights.

Took longer than expected
Good amount of cash back, but took a long time to pay out

Unpleasantly long wait
The overall cashback experience with British Airways was long and confusing as it took over a year to get a fiver back from a purchase of over £500. There was no follow up in between, just a forever pending status...Will avoid in the future and choose a different airline.

Original transaction declined
My original claim was declined, but on resubmission with additional info BA paid out as expected. Therefore payment was slower than anticipated.

Slow to payout
Needed to chase to get it added and then had to wait too long for the credit to arrive

As per others claiming cashback from BA now`t nadda no explanation as to why not worth the hassle for a measly 1%

Decline every purchase
Just don't be a cashback partner if you're going to decline each transaction, BA!!!

BA is an arrogant company with terrible customer services!
Having provided all the BA information for my holiday purchase, BA rejected my due cash back claim! Thanks to Top Cash Back’s excellent customer services, I finally received my due cash back! BA is an absolute terrible ‘joke’ when it comes to customers services! The worst part is BA just does not care a damn! I would try and avoid BA unless it was the ‘best’ option amongst other rubbish companies!

AVOID! BA have repeatedly declined EVERY purchase
AVOID! BA have repeatedly declined EVERY purchase. -they have automatically DECLINED every single purchase, sperate transactions over months, even after placing the PROVEN booking(s) 'on ice' for months. Abhorrent behaviour.

Absolute swizz - NEVER tracks even when it says it has
My purchase clearly tracked and there was a pop up on my screen to say it had. Almost £8000 trip booked - should be nearly £80 cashback. No sign on my TopCashback account. Support ticket put ‘on ice’. Won’t bother with BA again and probably will ditch top cashback as this is happening every other purchase now. Didn’t get cashback on THREE insurance policies last year either.

Never, ever tracks......
Why are they still allowed to be on Topcashback? Absolute joke!

Cashback rejected
Waited months only to be told cashback rejected.Same as other reviewers total ripoff and should be removed from cashback site.

Appalling Rejection Rate - Do Not Use
I am a loyal BA flyer for business and book 30+ flights a year with them - they almost always reject/decline legitimate bookings via this site. Please remove them from Topcashback as they don't deserve to be listed. If you want rewards for flights with BA then I suggest you book via Expedia who have a 100% payout rate.
