Quidco cashback and redemption cashback?

Sponge

I'm looking into buying a monthly contract phone from Dialaphone, via Quidco. Quidco offer £60 cashback. However, Dialaphone are offering £65 cashback via redemption at 6, 9 and 12 months. I just wondered if anyone knew if the 2 cashbacks are mutually exclusive, i.e. a case of 'cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer'?

I've never bought a phone this way before and it's only a worthwhile deal if I can get both offers. (I realise Quidco is not 100% guaranteed, but heh...)

They're completely seperate. I bought 2 cashback contracts via Quidco last year and received 2 x £60 via Quidco and all the deal cashbacks from DialAPhone.

Thank you.

Did the Quidco cashback track ok, or did you have to lodge any enquiries?

As for the redemption, I've never done one before. Are they pretty straight forward, with DaP?

Quidco tracked very quickly, no problems at all and the same with the redemption.

Make sure you take a copy of all the T&C at the time of the order and set up reminders for where/when the bills should be sent - I've not had any problems with them for cashback.

One more question - did you port a number to your new phone? I haven't completed the transaction yet, but during the checkout process I got a pop-up window telling me

If you wish to port your current number to the Vodafone network, please note it is currently not available with a Dial a phone package

This is from their help pages:

Please note that Porting means that you are transferring your mobile number from one Network to another and therefore it is not possible to port your number on the same Network.

To keep your existing number on the Networks listed above is very straightforward – just complete the following steps:

1) Place your order with Dial-a-Phone.
2) Contact your existing network or service provider to request your PAC (Porting Authorisation Code).
When you receive your new Dial-a-Phone package and it has been connected it will operate with a new number so that you can use your phone without having to wait for the port to be completed.
3) Contact your new network or service provider on the number below and quote the new number we have issued you, your existing number that you want to keep and the PAC.
4) Once porting has been complete, please update your account by clicking on My Numbers.

Network Contact Numbers:
O2 - 0870 5860860
T-Mobile - 0870 606 0139
Orange - 0800 079 2222
Three - 0870 733 0333
BT Mobile - 0800 032 2111

I did this and all was ok. What's important is that you update your 'My Account' section on the DAP website so that the number on the bills and the number on their records/'My Account' section is the same once you have ported your number.

Many thanks. :beer:
