student virgin media broadband with quidco?

Hi,

I will be getting the 10mb broadband with virgin media for £21 a month, as I am a student there is the 9 month contract for students, if I am to purchase it, can I still claim cashback through quidco with this offer?

as it will save me £100 thus making it £89 for the whole 9 months, or is the quidco cashback for the normal cable contracts only?

thanks in advance

    I suggest you check the VM link on the Quidco site.
    But yes, it appears to: 9m contracts are not listed as an exclusion in the T&C's. Offfer expires in 6 days though.
    It does however imply that you must take a triple bundle, which may not be your intention.


    '£100 for all cable package / bundles (cable tv, cable broadband, cable phone)'

    Just a word of warning - the Student Package is actually 12 months but they allow you to cancel after 9 months - make sure you diarise to give 30 days notice otherwise you will have to pay the full 12 months. My DD has just been caught out with this - thought her contract ended at the end of June so cancelled DD and has just had a bill as she hadn't actually cancelled the contract

    Cancelling a DD does not cancel the contract, you need to give the supplier notice normally thirty days as well.
