T-mobile Cashback loophole. Get £55 and free minutes for nothing.

Is the 17 mins of free Euro Talk and Text Booster per month or in total? I was wondering if I could time the contract so effectively get two months worth of calls home during my holiday (2 x 17 = 34 mins)

It's surely per a billing month, but I don't know how they set the billing cycle.
Also, don't forget, it's up to 39 minutes of incoming calls and you can ask the other side in UK to call you back. Don't know if it is (17+39) or (17 OR 39) though.

Are you guys waiting until you've received payment before cancelling?

The way i see it, you spend £35 not £35. As you have to have the sim for 3 months, but you need to give a months notice to cancel. If you hand in your notice at the end of month 2, then you might not get your payment.

Well I assume the contract starts as soon as the SIM is received then activated, a few days after arranging it on the Internet via topcashback? It should be obvious from those who have received paperwork on this.

Often contacts start differently and have allowances applied pro rata.

I'll check mine and will post the results if somebody doesn't clarify this earlier.

I would request my PAC two months and a week down the contract, in the mean time would pop into the pound stores and buy a payg sim card of other than tmobile. I will wait until my cashback is paid through TCB and immediately give my PAC to the PAYG of other network. simples.
requesting a PAC does not mean you've served the notice UNTIL it is used.

Can confirm that the billing month starts the next day after dispatching the simcard.

Does that not depend on not having an existing contract with O2?

What do you mean? T-mobile, not O2?. If so, I don't know and I don't have other accounts with them.

Sorry - meant T-Mobile. I have multiple contracts with T-Mobile and they 1) always use the same billing date and 2) never split the bills. Have had major arguments with them about the last point but they won't. I would therefore assume that it will work as you say if they have no exitsting contract with T-Mobile, otherwise it will probably end up on the same billing date as the existing contracts (unless, being a monthly sim, it works differently).
