    I also note to you all that in addition to the £60 from Quidco you can also get a free bluetooth headset using code GWBT003 at mobiles.co.uk.

    Just ordered mine and the code works.

    Andy

    Where did you get the code from ?

    If it was from the Quidco website you will be alright, otherwise you may not get your cash back.

    Points 4 and 5 in the help section on the Quidco website states the following (see http://www.quidco.com/help/119)...

    4. Don't use voucher or other discount codes unless they came from the Quidco site.
    Doing so may cause the referral to come from the code issuer rather than Quidco.

    5. Don't use "refer a friend" programs or promotional links from other sites.
    Remember, if the referral isn't seen as coming from Quidco, you won't receive cashback.

    There is a Mobiles.co.uk representative on another thread (http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=23979265&posted=1#post23979265) and he has confirmed that the code will not invalidate the Quidco.

    I found it at UK Hot Deals.

    Hopefully I will get both the cashback and the free toy - thanks for bringing to my attention the quidco terms. I note that I have previously received cashback from merchants and also used non-quidco codes in the same transaction specifically at Thomson holidays, and 123 ink cartridges. I will certainly keep this in mind with future transactions.

    Hi everyone I am looking to buy an Iphone soon and of course I am looking for the cheapest deal. I was wondering if many people go for the simplicity deal as in my opinion it works out better assuming that you would be able to a simplicity equivalent tarrif in 12 months.

    Do people see anything wrong with any of the above???

    ..but did warn that you should be careful to follow Quidco's instructions on how to ensure cashback :D

    If you can pay upfront for the iPhone (£440) you can get a good deal

    3% cashback on that £440 (So about £13)
    £100 cashback on a 12 month o2 simplicity sim (1600 texts, 800 minutes, unlimited tinternets) which works out at £140 for the year.

    So that's like (440 - 13) + (240 - 100) = £567

    I get £140 for my old phone so that makes it £427 for the year smile.gif Not bad!

    Oh, don't know, it'll be £19 odd a month without the cashback, I imagine there will be better deals in a year.
