The Offer
- Topcashback is offering $65 for signing up with Bluehost web hosting service.
The customer must complete the order process for any one of Blue Host’s hosting packages.
Our Verdict
Looks like you can get the cheapest subscription for around $35 for the year which would be a $30 moneymaker. The risk is the cashback tracking/posting, but there is a 30-day guarantee on Bluehost, so that should mitigate much of the risk with a cancellation if it doesn’t post.
Hat tip to reader Brad
Highly recommend avoiding this. Blue host requires you pay extra or they expose your information online for the domain. I did it about 7 years ago and I still get emails everyday and phone calls from people about the domain.
My Swagbucks were also clawed back after awhile even though I paid Bluehost etc. I ended up denying credit card payment because they wouldn’t honor their satisfaction guarantee. This is the worst offer I’ve ever done and I do nearly all of them.
Great tips, I am glad I did not give full information.
For people that still want to do the offer, it went pending for me within an hour. Seems this should be a quick payout according to Topcashback? Although, I have never had a quick payout from them…
Eh, where do you see “fast payout expected” ? There is no timeline provided at all, not even 20+ weeks they tell about the ATT offers. Did I miss something ?
Gave all 100% dummy info 😉
whois information is intended to be public information, just like your property records.
wrong
I think they mean whatever information is provided as part of the registration is public, not that you should use your own information. I should be able to see the name and address and email and phone number for a website, whether it’s the information of the company that owns the domain or a 3rd-party privacy protection company.
Which means that anyone registering a domain should know that whatever information they use can be seen be others, not just the registrar.
$68.25 just went payable today on 03/13/2023
I didn’t even create the website, just paid for the subscription and let it sit.
Thank you!
It didn’t track at TCB.
TCB doesn’t allow to submit claim at this retailer.
Closed and requested refund.
exact same datapoint here too
TCB strikes again
Expired.
Anyone else who bought this: How long does it take to track?? I bought it a week ago and I still don’t see it tracking under TopCashBack.. I don’t have the time or patience to follow-up with TCB as I’ve been on that merry-go-round several times before.. it’s exhausting.. Is this supposed to track instantly? Or if it didn’t track by now (a week later) should I just cancel and get my money back?
lilurbanachiever
It’s been a really long while but afaik it tracked within a day. But that was more than a year ago.
Did this earlier today and still haven’t received any email regarding that it tracked. Can this really show up as tracking within 7 days or is it probably guarantee by now that it didn’t track?
did last night – nothing
Did Bluehost with P2s account on different browser. It didn’t track. It popped up with tracking usually appearing within 1 day. Did another purchase on Old Navy, it said usually tracks within 7 days, it tracked within the hour. 🤔
any news?
nope. canceled bluehost two days later
Does this work if I’ve had an account with them before?
Will never do another deal with TCB until they pay up on direct tv promo from 6 months ago. Thiefs.

TCB screws me everytime! After 6 months or waiting for Directtv and Paramount+ bonuses, they denied both with screenshots and receipts. I’ll never use them again!
Hi There,
Very sorry to hear about this. Please send me an email directly to [email protected] and I will surely look into this for you.
Best Wishes,

For what it’s worth this went right into pending for me, no domain specified, just the cheapest plan for 1-year.
Like others below mine went pending after about an hour and you need to wait a minute or two after the purchase before you can create your account without it throwing an error. The cheapest that I could get it down to was $35.40, and it did not accept a Citi virtual card.
