Declined even before I have done the activities
I made sure I cleared all cookies before booking two activities at 20% promotional cashback rate and the cashback tracked immediately. However, after 10 weeks the cashback has been declined for no reason and the activities are still 4 months in the future. No problem - I have found the activities with another company at a price even cheaper that the 15% they are offering at the moment. The only good thing I have to say about Viator is that you can cancel, so thanks Viator, but you will not be getting my hard-earned cash.

Fraud - declined cashback
When the cashback was tracked automatically, it still got declined and we had just used this source for cashback or any other promo. Very unprofessional

Never paid
Booked multiple tours with Viator and none of my cashback claims have been successful. They get declined before I’ve even been on the trip.

Don't expect to receive cashback from Viator.
I booked and paid for three excursions with Viator before we visited Norway. I could easily have booked the excursions with other companies, but the cashback offered made Viator seem the least expensive. I waited months, raised a claim, but all the cashback was rejected. Claim not approved! They owed me almost £100 and listed a whole host of reasons why I must have got it wrong. Three times!? I know how to use a cashback site. So, book with Viator if you like what they have to offer, but don't expect to get any cashback from them.

£211.80 Cashback Declined With No Clear Explanation!
I booked a £1,629 Viator purchase through TopCashback with expected cashback of £211.80. The transaction never tracked and my missing cashback claim was ultimately declined because TopCashback was allegedly not the final referrer. Unfortunately neither TopCashback nor the affiliate network could provide any information about what source was credited instead. I found the process lacked transparency and left me unable to understand or challenge the decision.

Would not pay missing cashback
As others have said, Viator would not pay out on my missing cashback and gave the following reason: "TopCashback was not seen as the final referrer of the purchase." Abolute rubbish, as I did not use any other sites or links.

Cashback Paid
I booked a trip through Viator in January but having read the reviews I wasn't very hopeful that it would be paid. However, 9 days after the trip was made, the cashback has been paid. I was expecting to have to wait 12 weeks to then be told it was declined, so this was a welcome surprise!

No payout - shock!
"Cashback cannot be awarded for the following reason: "TopCashback was not seen as the final referrer of the purchase."" What a load of tripe.

Tracked and paid quickly
Perfect experience for me. Judging by other reviews, it seems to be a bit random though.

Awful service and no cashback
I booked with them after they said that the tour tie was available. When the booking came through there was no time, just a date. I gave times of my availability, after their request and then didn't get back to me, and book what was originally agreed. When i called, the times had already been taken. No cashback was given either. Awful experience.

Paid out in good time!
Booked through TC several trips in NZ nearly 12 months ago. Payout was pending but received the cashback quickly, once we’d done the trips.

Reject Large Cashbacks
I've not had any previous issues with Viator but they've recently declined two large cashback amounts for no obvious reason, despite my challenging it. Am I left to assume that they go out of their way to avoid paying out for large purchases?

Speedy
I booked through Viator and then read the reviews. I wasn't confident about getting my cashback but I was wrong. It took a day to show in my wallet but have now had payable cashback 9 days after completing the activity. Well done

Keep Declining Payments
Viator used to be brilliant at paying out. My last three transactions have been declined totalling about £45 - all have been transacted properly thru TopCashback and not going in via any other links. Will not use again !!!

Cash back Declined from last July
I have found Top cash back great until I booked Viator through them, only to find that after a considerable time Viator declined my cash back with no explanation. I have just booked another trip with Viator via Top cash back but have no confidence that Viator with honour their agreement . Disappointed with Viator I would prefer they declined any cash back at the time of booking instead of waiting months .

Don't Expect to Get Your Cashback from Viator
I've always used Viator in the past and it's been fine for getting the cash back but I won't be bothering again as recently I booked 8 trips with then and all have been declined. I did everything correctly, no voucher used etc etc. they rejected all 8 trips on the basis that Topcashback was not the final referrer of the purchase. Okay then so I went to Viator and said, if that's the case, please give me the 5% reward credits you get when booking directly with Viator. Sorry, we can't do that as you went through Topcashback, so you know I did but yet you still claim that it was not the final referrer! In future I'd opt for one of the other tour companies who will honour your cashback!

Avoid - you will get no cashback
We've always used Viator in the past and have had no problems, however recently on multiple bookings they have declined cashback and are now refusing to give any cashback blaming it on voucher codes - of which I can prove were not used! Bookings which we've not even completed are being rejected so appears as though a 'generic' rejection is being used. Do not expected any cashback and use someone else would be my recommendation.

Dishonest Comoany
Purchase was in my TC account however, Viator declined cash back claiming they were not the referrer even though Viator are still listed as so. I just won’t use them again and will purchase through ‘Get your Guide’ instead.

On the basis of previous reviews did not expect much
Honestly I did not expect to receive cashback as most reviews are negative. Tried anyway and £30 landed just two weeks after our expensive day trip completed. Cool.

Declines after you've attended
Booked 3 expensive excursions on our trip to Australia. Used Viator via top cash back as that specific way was the best value. The trips were booked a while back and all had the ability to cancel until 24 hours before. No issues flagged before the event giving a chance for me to cancel and book elsewhere. Then Viator declines all 3. No other codes used. All booked and paid in full straight away.

Always tracks and pays quickly
No issues with Viator. Always seems speedy to pay after the tour is complete.

Reliable Service
I always use Viator with TopCashback for my overseas trips. I find communication with Viator and the trip organiser excellent. I book trips months in advance and don’t pay until a few days before. I also have the option of cancelling a trip if circumstances change. We recently had weather problems in New Zealand. The supplier communication was spot on. He tried to rearrange on two occasions but the weather beat us and it was cancelled. We had a refund within 3 days. Using Topcashback gives me 10-20% discount. Just make sure you don’t book the trip through Viator directly otherwise it will not register your discount. I don’t mind waiting a few months for my discount knowing that it will always be paid. No issues over the last 8 years. Recommended
