    A few of my pals have approached me for the same, as they know I've been doing it quite successfully.

    I've explained them my modus operandi, but all gets turned off with the hassle and prefer to pay £36 per month till they die!!!:p

    I do it for my OH ...that's it...maximum 2 contracts at a time.Don't know how I could do it for others

    Although it always amazes me that people actually pay for their contracts, it is also important with cashback deals that you know what you're doing. Many plainly do not, thinking that minimum understanding or research and a household name supplier is good enough. Maybe I'm fanatical - I check on deals and on here several times a day usually - but the legwork does pay large dividends with all sorts of bonus provided you're preapred to do it. Those who aren't are best advised to steer clear.

    Actually, only just started using Ebay. Mainly used CEX in the past - but they've not been sending pre-paids lately despite stating they do, so about to put a second one on Ebay.

    Also now up to 10 contracts again (of my own) - but some ending in the next three months so it's a form of insurance (plus the profit) of never needing to pay for a contract for at least the next couple of years.

    I do get withdrawal symptoms when my numbers go down too far - though I can only remember that happening during one lean period. Fortunately, some superb deals popped up last year and I grabbed as many as I could get away with (they didn't last too long!).

    Perhaps it's a bit like chocolate; I always feel good when I can dose up again!

    Has anyone else had this problem, my latest reply to 2nd cashback claim
    Please resubmit your claim ensuring the bill shows your name, address, post code, mobile phone number, tariff connected to and that there is no outstanding balance carried forward. Your cashback claim will only be valid if the bill is received within the 60 day claim period. If you have online billing and are having difficulties downloading a copy of your bill with all of the required information, please contact your network provider. Seem to be just making it more difficult to get cashback have to ask provider ie talkmobile for a different copy of bill as all info is not on normal web bill.:(:(:(:(

    All the info required is on the Talkmobile bill. I save the whole bill to pdf and email it, and not had a problem yet.

    It's quite common for CPW companies to send a standard rejection email where the reasons for rejection aren't at all clear. If you have sent the correct bill at the correct time and in full don't take any nonsense from them; but check that it is the right bill at the right time and that you have sent the whole thing (apart from itemised calls).

    Thanks Spondon30 for your help, previous claim was ok so could understand why 2nd was rejected, didnt realise that it was a full copy of the bill as I had only looked at itemised front copy.
