If the company goes bust (takes the money and runs) can the network insist on completion of contract and monthly payments?

Yes - that's the risk you take. At least one cashback company has gone bust - it was talked about widely on this forum.

Can you scan and email the bills to the company? I would have thought that is just as acceptable as post (and cheaper too).

Of course you can't - the whole point is that the companies make it as difficult as possible for you to claim so that you are more likely to slip up or not bother. Some, like Mobileshop, accept copies of bills but some, like CNM, insist on originals.

The sceptic in me asks if the company concerned would post here, spouting how good their cashback service was?

See posting after yours!

Also just got my first cheque from CNM. Took pretty much a calendar month from when they sent me an email confirming receipt. I was starting to wonder whether it was ever going to arrive.....

I think my first post was in this thread. I'd been lurking for ages. I was just amazed that it actually worked and I felt the need to share.

I don't think I've actually recommended anyone. If anything I just wanted to reassure people who had already signed up.

I'm basically taking the attitude I believe it when I see it and so far so good.

I have now received my full £360 cashback (5 X £72) with no problems at all. Must say though, used special delivery for each one but that may have been an over-cautious approach.

As it says at the top of every board, Its an open forum! Anyone can post so always exercise caution when acting on info.

A lot of people lurk and then go to the trouble of signing up when they feel they have something to add to a discussion - be nice to them!

Thank you Alltheloginsaretakenappar. That sums me up. I have lurked for months (mainly around the freebie board- thanks to every one who posts there) and only signed on because this is my first time on a contract phone and doing this cash back thing.

Felt it was important to shair my experiance as I go along, because I hate getting ripped off as much as the next person.

At the moment it seems to be working but I will let you all know if things go wrong. I am certainly not advising anyone to rush out and get phones through cool new mobile. I can honestly say that When I am supposed to send of my claim and have to wait for the cheque it puts me on edge, as I am unsure if the cheque will turn up.

I am sure michaels has every reason to be cautious, but I have to start posting some where and here seemed like a good place.

The only criticism is I never received the £35 via Quidco, I queried this back in May and Quidco have yet to advise of the outcome

I got my quidco cashback in August, took the phone out beginning of May; hope that helps with timings for you.

Hi Just to let you all know Cool New Mobile are snowed under in cashback claims at the moment so you may experiance a delay in receiving your cashback cheque.

I have just got mine it has taken a month to come, from the time I got the email saying they were processing my claim to the moment I had it in my Hand.

Must admit to going in to panic mode when it didnt come after 2 wks. I did ring them just to make sure everything was ok. They were very good and checked on the system to see how far the claim had gone and reasuring me that I would get my money.

Oh well will be going through the whole thing again in 2 wks as it is going to be time to send of the next bill.

Have a Happy Christmas and a money saving New Year!
