Absolute joke
Another customer here with the exact same experience. I’ve just had five more claims declined with the same copy-and-paste excuse: “TopCashback was not seen as the final referrer of the purchase.” If Sainsbury’s has no intention of honouring cashback, then TopCashback should remove them as a retailer. Keeping them listed while consistently rejecting legitimate claims is misleading to consumers and wastes everyone’s time.

Sainsbury's - Absolute Joke
I am another person that has had just about every cashback claim, made in 2025, rejected with "TopCashback was not seen as the final referrer of the purchase." What or who is the final referrer for the purchase? I buy from Sainsbury's weekly so you can imagine the number of claims I have made, but I can count on one hand the number of times the cashback has been paid. Topcashback should remove them as Cashback retailers since they aren't. They have no intention of honoring the cashback and that is misleading consumers.

Same issue same scam
It would appear I had the same push back as most people with negative reviews "TopCashback was not seen as the final referrer of the purchase." which is complete rubbish but clearly an easy way for Sainsburys to refuse paying the cashback that should be due. As usual another company protecting the bottom line and losing a customer.

Why bother?
Just had the 16th claim declined for "Not identified as last ...." Only good thing is that I don't have any Sainsbury's claims to keep track of any more. Unlikely that I will have any more claims to make in the future, as I have found another discount site (ironically directed to it by Sainsbury's website itself) which has been paying out. Though, even there, I have had 1 order queried, and only in the last couple of months. We shall see..... I just wish it was possible to give Zero stars. While I can't go elsewhere for all my groceries, I will be looking to reduce my spend with Sainsbury's; and I certainly won't be expecting cashback from any source. Will the people who are still giving 5 stars please share with the rest of us what they are doing to get cashback, when so many of us can't?

No cashback
Over the past year or so I have found that orders placed with Sainsbury's no longer track, and after filing a case, cashback is always refused. Something needs to be done about this.

Another Victim Of The Never Pay Sainsbury's Con!
Around 20 grocery shops completed in the last 12 months and ALL denied despite the purchases being made on a clean, cashback dedicated PC that tracks fine with other cashback purchases - Sainsbury's still use the last referrer not being TCB excuse. I believe that it's high time Sainsbury's were removed from TCB as the countless one star reviews prove the issue of constant non-payment to be true and the odd glowing five star review highly questionable! Vote with your feet and stop using Sainsbury's, I'll be looking at an alternative grocery home delivery option in the near future as enough is enough.

Not last referrer ???
They seem to have stopped paying out cashback, latest one I was advised as "not last referrer" claim! Not sure how they deduced that, but biding my time with this supermarket. If my home delivery items are not avaiable at time of delivery they are either leaking, squashed or damaged - which I have complained about - maybe that is why my cashbacks are not filitering in. Notice other customer on this platform are kicking up too, so I know its not just me. As customers we should vote with our feet/tablet/mobile, towards other leading supermarkets.

Not last referrer
About a year ago they stopped accepting claims, every single one (generally 1 a week) has been knocked back with a "not last referrer" claim. They absolutely are the last referrer, even if I modify my order I go in via TCB. Hey ho, Sainsburys lose another customer to Ocado/Waitrose.

not good
twenty claims (i had to log every single shop manually as it has stopped tracking for years) just came back denied. claims as old as April. Such a waste of my time. i hope something can be done or join Asda to quit TCB since you're refusing to give cashback with some lame reasons, when i have not changed a damn thing since day one of using TCB!

Only 2 stars as waited over 3 years to get some cash back!
Christmas miracle, the first time in I think three years I have received some cashback for my shop! Use the online service about 30 times a year, this is a first. Hoping it has fixed itself for me and others! Fingers crossed!

Avoiding paying
Was ok in the past, but now rarely tracks. And on claims, Sainsburys avoids paying legitimate cashback by saying 'not the final referrer'. Definitely a problem with this retailer.

Glad(?) to see I'm not the only one not getting cashback from Sainsbury's
Hasn't tracked for over a year now. What a waste of time.

Not paying up just lately
This is happening more & more frequently. I’ll have to start & shop elsewhere this is just wasting my time.

No cash back
Took over a year for cashback claim to be declined by Sainsbury’s. Complete waste of time. In my experience Sainsbury’s always use the same excuse that TopCashback was not the last point of referral.

Avoid.
Legitimate order didn't track, lodged a claim which after quite a while resulted in Sainsburys saying TCB was not the last referrer, which is completely incorrect. Sour taste, but ultimately Sainsbury's loses another customer for implying TCB users are dishonest... Perhaps Sainsbury's need to look closer at themselves & their practices in relation to refusing totally legitimate cashback claims.
