  • so you would have to wait the four months before the £120 would be paid into your account?
    Merry Christmas MSE!

    Ends on the 7th December :) make sure if your keeping your number to NOT dial your network for your PAC code with a 0870 number as it will cost you a fortune, use saynoto0870.com to find the freephone 0800 number instead :)

    Anyone know if you can drop down to PAYG on the same number after 8 months, say?

    Yep but you would need to ring them and ask them to transfer it over, however since your just changing your contract to PAYG with the same company it shouldn't be a problem :) 0800 776655 is the number for Vodafone PAYG services if you want to check.
  • TCB are totally useless i am afraid. i have bad experience with them. i had done everything as recommended by them i even did 'TEST TRACKING' before ordering my mobile contract. now after 3 months i am still waiting. not tracked or validated,,,,,,,,
    TCB say i simply have to wait may take 'MONTHS' no guarantee.
    i would not bother with them.
    it is likely you will end up paying to vodafone and never get your cashback!!
    you have been warned!!
    sorry but had to warn others,,
    as martin says,,,,not 100% garanteed.

    one problem that people like myself have with these offers is that SIM only deals are also credit checked like monthly contracts even though they run month to month. This means we cannot take the offer and these companies discriminate against us for money problems we had nearly 6 years ago and in some cases the defaults are unlawful anyway as DCAs mess about.

    this applies to a lot of people on this site who are here because of debt problems and one unfortunate part of this is defaults etc.
  • can this be done if you already have a vodafone sim-only deal? i..e. i might want 2!

    way i see it - it's a gamble. If you took out say, 3 of these, you stand to make 180 quid if you cancel after 4 months. you also stand to lose 180 quid if TCB don't cough up. Odds seem a lot more hopeful than buying a lottery ticket however. Go on -have a Xmas flutter I say!

    Ok, I signed up for one of these this morning and am glad to say, on signing into my Top Cashback account a second ago my £120 is pending!! All good so far.

    I was reading some of Vodafone's Ts&Cs and they give you a 14 day evaluation period so if you wanted to, sign up for the deal and if, for whatever reason, Top Cashback doesn't track it, you can just cancel the contract within your 14 days without any repercussions on you apart from paying for the calls you made and possibly the return postage of a sim card!

    Hope this helps some of you and gives you a bit more confidence about signing up for this now it's risk free!
