SouthportCashBack.co.uk Guidelines
The SouthportCashBack.co.uk model is built on relationships forged between ourselves (remember we are members too!) and the Merchants which are offering cash back. Therefore as SouthportCashBack.co.uk grows and our voice as one becomes louder we will be able to negotiate higher rates of Cash Back for our members. However in the same way, if our members are seen to be attempting to defraud the Merchants in an attempt to earn Cash Back from fraudulent transactions this will reflect badly on the group as a whole. SouthportCashBack.co.uk will suspend the accounts of any member behaving in this fashion. This is why SouthportCashBack.co.uk operates a one account per person system.

Implementing the following measures will help to ensure your transactions are tracked correctly:

Gift Certificates
Cash Back will not be rewarded to anybody using gift certificates on certain sites. The Merchant is effectively paying a Cash Back incentive for your business and if you were to redeem a gift certificate they would be doing this twice. None of our merchants honor Cash Back in conjunction with a gift certificate.

New Customer Offers

Merchants will attempt to detect anybody trying to make multiple transactions in an attempt to take advantage of their offers. This is considered abuse of the system and merchants will not pay Cash Back and SouthportCashBack.co.uk reserve the right to revoke the membership’s of users who do this without prior warning.
