Money Mail raised concerns this year that people are unaware that the service can cost them £180 a year. 

Analysis of 23,500 Complete Savings customers by Snoop has found they had lost a total of £1,007,845 since August 2020.

Scott Mowbray from Snoop warns people to read the small print: ‘The fact that almost 70 per cent of their customers pay more in fees than they earn in cashback would make Scrooge blush.’

A spokesman for Complete Savings says: ‘Our customers make significant savings. Our membership fees are clear and transparent and we would strongly question any commercial research that suggests otherwise.’
