I noticed that on the e2save site e2save have changed the address to which you need to send cashback claims. So I think I should still send the claim to the original address printed on my vouchers as per the terms and conditions I signed up to. Is this right?
Absolutely......you don't want to break your ts & cs (E2S would be delighted if you did):)0 -
Just to say how quick and painless M2YD cashback claim was.....they send form, you return it with bill, they send cheque fortnight later with form for next claim. Easy.illegitimi non carborundum0

Yep. Contrast with E2ave nowadays!0
-
Also contrast to mobileshop who I was with previously......for a couple of years now, they have delayed sending cashback using excuses like "we changed the system so it has to be done manually and weve got a backlog and I cant tell you when it will be processed and I cant tell you where you are in the queue and I cant tell you which date received is currently being processes and our 60 day committment isnt a committment its just a target".......if they deployed the excuse makers to writing out cheques, there would be no delay and maybe they would retain a few more customers.
M2YD so good Im thinking of getting another phone with them.....like the Prada which I got on 11 months of 12 free and ebayed it for £150.illegitimi non carborundum0 -
Lovely thread mobilejunkie, you deserve a knighthood.
Things appear to have changed a lot (and gone downhill) since my first (and only) cashback deal, but it was with dialaphone so was a pleasant experience and totally hassle-free.
If only dialaphone would come up with some good offers!Tough times never last longer than tough people.0 -
It is now part of Phones4u - where the offers are significantly better anyway, along with their other site - Mobiles2yourdoor! However, whilst I couldn't be happier with my now numerous experiences with them I. Once upon a time could have said the same about E2Save - so I still follow all my own groundrules. By so doing I and the people I look after have done extremely well - even with E2Save (despite two law suits and two other near misses so far!). Without adding up, I/we must have had about 60 contracts in the last (nearly) 3 years. Only three small losses with a higher risk dealer (Mobile Affiliates) but even those weren't too bad and we knew the risks with them so can't complain (unlike many others who apparently didn't know the risks when they jumped in).
Although some of my people (especially in the early days) actually took up deals for less than 12 months free (just) I only ever grab the totally free ones for myself. I also now usually sell the phones too as soon as they arrive - I have over a dozen very nice ones which I keep for the sims - so also make a nice profit AND never make chargeable calls on my land line. In fact, I have also picked up lots of other unexpected bonuses too - many free blueteeth, free internet access at very useful times for me, free PAYT allowances and so on. It is never risk free, but far too many jump in without even a cursory amount of research; there was another earlier who has taken out a cashback deal with another dealer and THEN come on these threads to ask about how to claim their cashback. I mean, REALLY!! On the other hand I am accutely aware that I have saved a lot of people a lot of money on here when things went wrong - and hopefully warned some people off who were about to jump in without the necessary knowledge. I always thought my little thread ought to be a sticky, considering how many people could potentially have saved a lot of money and enormous grief if it were more readily found.
I spent over a year researching before I took out ANY contract; apparently some people still think they can do these things without bothering or expecting other people to teach them as they go along. With my own money, I like to know what I'm doing before committing to a contract I could lose a small fortune on simply because of grandiose promises which (for many) turn out to be (obviously even to a fool!) too good to be true. E2Save now play that game (as many on here, including me, have been pointing out). I would still use them if they had any decent deals, but would also ensure I can sue without hesitation or much risk if they ever decide to try it on with me. Usually, those who have fought to get their money are left in peace thereafter. Strange, isn't it?
To date, I haven't had any issues at all with the Phones4U group (quite the reverse!) - and do things with them I would never advise others to do (though, again, am aware and do cover myself in case the spots change as they did so dramatically with cpw!). Maybe in 18 months' time I will be warning against Phones4u - but I advise as things are in the present and not the past.0 -
MY CPW chequeback application was sent to them threee weeks ago and without issue my cheque arrived last friday. You seem to have had a lot of problems, but thats not my experience.0
-
I don't have many problems at all; that's because I make sure I don't. However, one problem is one too many when they are trying it on - and they do! I actually get a cheque a month from them and many more from other places. One cheque a month without problems doesn't make up for the nonsense they employ when they choose a victim, hoping they will lie down and lose their money without a fight. Let's hope that one day you aren't "selected" for special treatment - then, like many before you, you will change your view.0

To be honest CPW chequebacks have been straight forward for my wife and me for last 2 contracts.
Just put in diary when your 6th bill will come, send it recorded delivery and they will send you a text to confirm receipt of chequeback. Just got my 3rd and final chequeback.
New contract is a 'discounted tariff' so rather than get average of 10 quid off a 35 quid tariff with chequebacks.. i now just pay 25 quid a month. So no problems with chequebacks etc.
AM about to use mobiles.co.uk to get a free ps3 with wifes upgrade.0 -
Ive just finished my first year with M2YD, and found their service exemplary - cheques never took longer than a week or two to arrive. Just taken out another one year deal........11 months free plus £30 quidco. Best of all, its in writing that your deal is with P4U, so even if they let M2YD go under, youve still got the larger P4U providing your cashback.
E2save though........shambles. Sold me a dud phone for my daughters birthday, didnt realise it was dud inside the 28 days, kept on "fixing it", didnt fix it, kept on getting conflicting information on the phone and in store CPW. Would you believe everyone agreed I should have a replacement phone, but noone had the authority to make it happen or to take the hit on their cost centre (was a fifty quid phone !!!!!!).
Eventually sent an LBA, which got past the idiots to a very reasonable guy, who sorted out my refund and my costs. But it shouldnt have had to get that far.illegitimi non carborundum0
