Superfi’s Cashback Booster: Is It Worth the £11.99?

If you already use Superfi (or have been considering it), you’ll know the app is more than just “earn cashback.” You get tools for bill-tracking, reminders, gift cards, plus rewards for using brands you like. But now there’s another way to get more: the Cashback Booster. Here’s how it works, why its useful, and whether it’s right for you.

What is the Cashback Booster?

• For a yearly fee of £11.99, you pay to “boost” your cashback rates on certain retailers.

• For example: instead of getting 5% cashback at Primark, with the Booster you will get 10%.

• The boosted rate applies only to the brands/shops included in the Booster offer. Not every retailer is boosted — only selected ones.

• Think of it like upgrading certain shops’ rewards so they’re more generous, in return for paying up front.

Why the Booster Appeals

There are a few compelling reasons the Booster might be a winner:

1. Big names included - Brands like Primark, Aldi, Amazon etc aren’t always included (let alone boosted) in many cashback sites. If you shop regularly at those, the Booster can give you significantly more value. You’re getting more return for purchases you’d be making anyway.

2. Better value if you use frequently - If you spend often (say every week or multiple times a month) at the stores with boosted rates, the extra cashback will quickly offset the £11.99 cost.

3. Doesn’t just rely on obscure brands - Some cashback/loyalty schemes offer “boosts” only for boutique or niche retailers. Superfi includes everyday, mainstream shops, making the Booster usable for many people’s regular shopping.

4. Layered benefits - Because Superfi already gives you rewards for bills paid on time, gift-cards etc., the Booster adds on top of tools you already benefit from. For many people, it’s not an either/or: you get the core app benefits + the Booster uplift.

How Much Can You Save:

Here’s a rough example to see whether the Booster would pay off:

• Suppose you shop at Primark every month, spending £50 there. Without the Booster, you get 5% → that’s £2.50.

• With the Booster, you get 10% → £5.00. The extra is £2.50 more per month.

• Over a year, that’s £30 more cashback from Primark alone.

• You’ve already paid £11.99 upfront, so you net £18.01 extra.

• If you also frequently spend at other boosted retailers (e.g. Amazon, Aldi etc.), that extra adds up.

So for many users it will make sense, especially if your spending aligns with the boosted brands.

Final Thoughts

Superfi’s Cashback Booster is a smart add-on. For £11.99/year, you can get inflated cashback rates at well-known stores, in many cases double the standard Superfi rate. If the boosted brands match your spending patterns, it’s likely you’ll more than recoup the cost. Even better, it gives you access to higher rewards on shops that other cashback services may not be generous with.
