Clever cashback loophole means Wowcher shoppers can enter £9.99 'mystery' deals for free

A cashback site has offered a deal to use across Wowcher which would make its hugely popular £9.99 mystery deals completely free. The mystery deals have surged in popularity over the last few years, and shoppers try their luck at getting expensive tech products, experiences and even holidays for a fraction of the price paid.

It's all down to the latest offer from TopCashback, another deals site which gives shoppers money back on a range of retailers as long as they buy products through the sites links. The offer stands for new members only and those who sign up can get 100% cashback on all Wowcher purchases, as long as it does not exceed £10.

It means shoppers could choose to enter one of its cheapest £9.99 deals for free or put the cashback towards a more expensive trip, like its range of UK spa breaks or its infamous £99 'mystery' holidays which sees travellers buy a holiday without knowing where they're going.

Over the last few weeks Wowcher has brought out updated offers on its 'mystery' shopping deals, launching a garden furniture deal and separate tech deal in the lead up to summer. This sees customers enter for a set £9.99 price in the chance of getting an item worth up to as much as £600, the Mirror reports.

This was the case in the latest Mystery tech deal, where the deals site included brand products like Sony, Dyson and Samsung in the draw. The catch is shoppers don't know what they'll buy for the £9.99 price until after they've paid, and winning a high-valued item is not guaranteed.

The recent tech deal meant some shoppers would walk away with an items worth hundreds more. Some of the top bucket-list items in the £9.99 Wowcher tech deal include an Xbox Series X worth £489, a £379 Samsung Smart TV, an HP Pavillion Laptop and a Forerunner 45 Running Watch worth around £119.

It's all down to TopCashback's latest money-back offer, new members can get 100% of their spend back into their bank account, as long as the Wowcher purchase does not exceed £10.
