Quidco Cahsback for mobiles even if no cash value?

leanneee

I have around 7 mobile phones that are old and faulty that I am trying to get rid of - I uses the mobile maximiser tool on MSE but only 2 of them have any value. One I have 'sold' to Fonebank and the other Money4urmobile both via Quidco for the extra cashback.

I noticed there are a lot of other mobile recyclers on Quidco offering £3-£3.50 for transactions carried out by new customers.

Would I still get this cashback for sending them a mobile even if they offer me nothing for it? E.g. Go through Quidco to mopay.co.uk and 'sell' them a phone worth £0.00 and still receive the £3.80 cashback for being a new customer? Anyone tried this before?

Can you let me know the models and makers of the phones to see if I can locate some mobile recycler that will pay for the old £0.00 ones?

I seem to remember wondering this myself, and reading the Terms of a few sites, found out that they would not pay cashback for phones that they SCRAP on our behalf. I must admit I was using TopcashBack sites to check, I do not use Qudco.

I will have another check and update this if I am wrong.

One thing I did find was that TESCO would still give some Tesco points for a phone that was only fit to be scrapped by their mobile phone recycling partner.

Not sure if that can be coupled with a cashback site though.

Envirofone will not allow a £0.00 phone to be "added to basket" , instead it says to send the phone in a padded envelope to a freepost address, with RECYCLE on the front of the envelope.

That means NO TRACKING as they do not know you from Adam when the phone arrives, and are therefore obvoiusly not interested in paying out for SCRAPPED phones.

If they were, they would allow it to be added to the basket so that TopCashBack or the others, could track the transaction and earn the cashback.
