which company is reliable for cashbacks

wazza

we read about Onestopphoneshop being awkward for claiming cashbacks. Does anyone know of a reliable company for claiming cashbacks?

No company is reliable that's why they tell you to present your bill after 6 months with in 14-30 days of invoice date.The worst in this category is Phones2udirect.Then some says if you miss any of the cash back your future cash back will not be paid.Best to go for the company with minimum term like Phones4u-only one bill need to be sent for the cash back.Dialaphone is also good in cash back as they give you in written about the date on which you need to post the bill,Moreover your billing starts from the day you bought the phone .
In case of osps it is dodgy as first bill may be of two days or even 45 days & further bills are of 30days cycle.This type of billing by osps creates a lot of confusion in calculating the dates as cash back is based on the date you joined the network & not on the number of bills .so most of the people either post there bills too early or too late so result is rejection in cash back.

Another mantra is to look how they pay the cash back like are they are going to directly credit the account or postal cheque.Cheque is more risky as it get lost sometimes in post ,so creates a lengthy trail to claim it back.

i have had no problem with osps.
you can call them up and check which bill to send and they will tell you no probs.
they are owned by carphone wharehouse (as are e2save) so should have no problems ith going out of business

from what i gather e2save is the best

Mobileshop are very good in that they email you to say that they have received your claim and they say when to expect the cheque. They then send an email when the cheque has been posted....
Only downside is you wait 45 days or more.

Carphonewarehouse were also fine with me....

Just signed up for OSPS, I hoping they will be fine because they are owned by Carphone and I believe they are taking over the cashback's

I'd be careful about dial-a-phone because some of their cashback's are a credit to your account with "Orange" or whoever, and so you may have to keep the contract longer than you want if you want to utilise some cashback...

E2save should be fine as CPW again...

I'd be careful about some deals with companies that you haven't heard of, maybe they'll go bust?
Also ones where you have to wait many months for a claim, a lot could happen in that time...

eagleeye - So with OSPS, would you send in the 3rd bill, or the most recent bill of your 3rd anniversary date? Cheers

:j For reliability in cashback I would def recommend E2save. Never had any problems with them, even when I sent in the wrong bill they sent me my cashback. :j

Don't touch Dialaphone - now one of the worst, and sucker people into trusting a big company.

What are your views and indeed experience on BuyMobilePhones.net? They appear to have a few cashback deals on offer at the moment.

I've used Dialaphone for the past 3 years on cashback deals and have always been paid within two weeks of posting the claim voucher - Absolutely no problems with them !

The only problem with them is that although the contract is for the 12 months but they will give the cash back for last stage only if one remain connected for 15-18months.I think OSPS management staff has joined the DAP otherwise before that they were honest!

The second wicked thing is that if you disconnect from the network and while your money has not reached the network airtime account than it's the end of story-NO REFUND -
The result one has to remained connected to network to claim the refund from airtime account and then only one can cancel the contract.
