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

It seems I'm still on my 1st monthly contract after 31 days, so it looks like it will carry on till the end of this month. This means I will only get one batch of Euro booster allowance when on holiday between the 6th and 17th because the new bill will renew from the 28th rather than the 12th of the month. Damn!

Baffling though why it says "Contract ends 11/05/2011" on my price plan.

Can't moan if I get the cashback though
[/STRIKE].

Correction A new month's allowance has been topped up on the 13th, rather than the 12th. Why? who knows!

When does Tmobile actually pay this cashback, after the three months is up? In my Topcashback account it is currently still showing up as confirmed but not payable. Will I lose this if I cancel before the full 3 months are up? I am just over 2 months into the contract now.

It's a gamble. I waited until it turned into payable and paid for an extra month.

Hi, I am exiting T-Mobile customer - If I apply for a sim only contract will I be entitled to cashback or is for completely new t-mobile customers.

Thanks

They have closed the loophole recently.
12 month contract only now.
I am pretty sure you will be entitled for the cashback.

'Payable' is now indicated in topcashback after my 3rd payment, so I have arranged the transfer and cancelled the Tmobilecontract.

I did this twice!

I went to cancel last week and went through to retentions. Bear in mind, that I've only paid 2*£10 and TopCashBack has got the money from T-Mobile.

Retentions offered me the following:

FREE 300 Xnetwork minutes
FREE 300 text
FREE Unlimited Internet (FUP 500MB/browsing truly unlimited)
FREE Flexible Booster (I chose unlimited landlines)

..

Guess what... £5.50 a month!!

... to top it all, a HTC Wildfire S **FREE**

How could I resist!? 24 month contract.. but at this price with a free phone who cares. :-)

Your post helped me negotiate, though I could not get HTC wildfire.

Same minutes, internet etc as yours, with new LG Pecan mobile phone. Total for £5, and duration 24 months.

Glad it helped! My 1st SIM I was offered the LG Pecan which I quickly sold on eBay.. so the contract really didn't cost me a penny! :-)

Although the Wildfire S is a slightly better phone which I've kept. I don't know how TMOB make money from these types of deals/offers.

I've just cancelled mine and he didn't try to keep me at all! Tho to be fair he could probably see on his system I already have another contract with them. Shame, I would've liked a Wildfire S!
