Thanks, but when did they do this? is this "retrospective"?, and the offer is still on the website, !

11.30 am. its believed they are honouring cashbacks for applications for less than 10.00 a month made before that time, there is a problem with some people not being given a policy number and PO not having any apparent record of their applications.

In that instance people should call PO freephone number 0800 096 5489

The offer is still on the website, but if you read the terms and conditions that were updated iyesterday, it is now £10 per month for a minimum of 12 months.

Not the £5.00 per month, for 3 months as the initial offer was .

We got 2 applications in before 9 am. so *should* be OK. Got email stating the reference number on both applications (me and my wife's) and both cashbacks have tracked OK. I'm assuming we don't actually HAVE to ring the PO for confirmation? Or maybe they are 'flagging up' the ones who applied before 11.30am when you ring?

The commission NU will be paying them will likely run to somewhere between £60- £75 on a £5pm / 5 yr term policy - and thats only if policy is maintained for 2 yrs - they will be lucky to get £10 if policy is cancelled after 3months. If they had a load of £5 applications I would think they are trying to find ways around losing £133 on each case

Is everyone who got an application before 11:30am phoning to confirm their situation? I did mine the night before - I just wondered if I am best getting them to email me confirmation or suchlike?

People need to look to see if they have a plan number recorded on the confirmation, not just an application number that came by email.

I applied for mine at 11.30pm on 6th August and PO have no record of anything. _pale_ ( tracked fine via TCB )
