Credit rating agencies make a lot of money each year by selling their credit reports to consumers. They make this money by charging a yearly fee (£70) or monthly fee (£7) to access your credit rating report. In order to tempt you to join they offer the first month for free. I know what you’re thinking “but how does that make me money!”.
What you need to do is partner the fact that you can get the first month for free with the fact that some specialized cashback sites will pay you to join these offers. We’ve list the offer with the biggest payout below.

Our Tips:
- Go with Topcashback, they don’t charge you the £5 yearly administrative fee and have slightly higher payouts
- Cancel promptly. These sites rely on people forgetting to cancel their montly memberships which is why they entice you with these joining bonuses. Some people have also complained that they have cancelled and then logged back into their account and this automatically reactivates it – so be careful!
- Keep track of all the information you’re given. Make sure you write down important information such as your product reference number. This will make cancelling your subscription to these services that much easier.
- Be patient. It will likely take between 60-90 days from signing up to the money being in your account, this is because the cashback sites have to verify that you have indeed signed up.
