Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve put together the following list of FAQs to give you key information about the Goodwill Bonds program.
Goodwill Bonds are draw based promotional gifts paid for and issued by businesses to thank customers for one or more purchases. Each of the total minimum 50 Bond Codes displayed every week consist of the first 2 initials of the holders name plus a numeric code assigned by our system.
When an individual Bond Code is displayed the registered holder will receive an email confirming details of their good fortune, claims are never required.
Bonds are live until paid or for the full duration of the Program, and can be issued to customers at up to £5,000 each of the price paid for the item or service purchased. Multiple Bonds can be issued to cover transactions above £5,000.
Don’t worry about submitting a claim when your Bond Code is displayed, claims are not required. Our system checks for you every week, and emails when one or more of your Bond Codes have been displayed, which is guaranteed to happen at least once after registration.
That said, all Bond Holders that login and check all our draw results pages every week for 12 months without receiving payment of their Bond amount, will automatically receive a guaranteed Bonus payment from our Settlement Fund (“Fund”) of up to 100% of their Bond Amount, within 7 days after expiry of the 12th month.
How does the Goodwill Bonds program work?
When you make a qualifying purchase from a participating supplier, they’ll register the details of your transaction and email a completed Goodwill Bond or Bonds to you free of charge. You’ll then need to register free on our website within 7 days.
Friday of every week, at 12 noon, a minimum of 50 Bond Codes are displayed on the results page of this site for 24 hours. Each individual Bond has its own unique Bond Code and all 50 each week are fully underwritten.
Each Bond offers its holder the opportunity to receive 100% of its Bond Amount through our weekly draws, as a cash payment, or a £100 Bonus Cash Credit, which enhances the written amount of any issued Bond, or our weekly major cash award of £100,000.
On any draw day that a major cash award of £100,000 has been won by a Bond Holder, the other 49 displayed Bond Code Holders for that draw day will automatically receive 100% of their displayed Bond Amounts.
As the total number and value of participating Supplier issued Bonds increases each week, the number and value of underwritten Bonds in our weekly draws increases in ratio. This is designed to help lift the number of displayed Bond Amounts and major Cash Awards being paid out.
Bond Codes are GUARANTEED to be displayed, at least once after issue.
What are the odds of my Bond Code being displayed?
- We guarantee that every Bond Code will be displayed after registration at least once (no maximum). So, no display odds to quote.
- We guarantee to pay up to 100% of a Bond Amount to any qualifying Holder in our 12 month results check offer. So, again no odds to quote.
- Based on our minimum weekly draw underwriting of 50 Bond Codes, winner odds for our £100,000 major cash award + 49 winners of their Bond Amounts (up to £5,000 each) are 16,700 every week, for the life of the program or until paid.
All of the 50 selected Bond Codes we display each week are fully underwritten. Holders either receive a £100 bond account credit, which increases the future payout value of their displayed Bond. Or, if their Bond Code matched one of our independently selected master codes, (the available number of which increases with Program use by Suppliers), the winner will receive their full Bond Amount up to £5,000, or one of our major cash awards of £100,000, it’s that simple.
What about financial security?
We take financial security very seriously. Payments to Bond Holders are either protected through underwriting, or by physical cash held in our Settlement Fund. The Fund contains a percentage of all charges paid by suppliers for use of the Goodwill Bonds Program, plus 100% (after costs) of all received income from interest based advertising where a Goodwill Bond is not issued to customers of the advertiser by the Company.
The Goodwill Bonds Program is independently managed by a well-established company, proDmedia Ltd, which has been providing online administrative services to clients for over 20 years.

The percentage of each Bond Amount payable to Bond Holders that logged in every week for 12 months to check our draw results, as previously described, is determined by a system algorithm which compares the total amount held in the Fund every month end, to the total value of all corresponding qualifying Bond Amounts. This reveals a percentage of each Bond Amount due to qualifying Holders, up to a maximum of 100%, which is then paid.
The time taken to pay Bond Holders is normally within 7 days. You’ll receive an email confirmation when your payment is on its way.
Are there any costs to participate?
No, not a penny ever. You’ll never be asked to pay anything to join or participate in the Goodwill Bonds program. Also, your personal details remain private and are never shared or sold.
Our program is only available to residents of the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man who are 18 years or older. Goodwill Bonds are free promotional gifts and are not securities or investment products.
How much experience do you have?
We’ve been running cash reward programs since 1992. We’ve worked with hundreds of small to medium businesses, and big names like Apple Computers, Dunlop Slazenger, Johnny Walker, and many more. Goodwill Bonds are simply our latest, unique way to help companies thank customers like you for their business. We’ve featured a few past cashback winners on the home page and listed thousands more from a program we created for an individual business client.
