    Average payout time is 10 weeks according to topcashback. This contract can be had from chitter chatter for £6 per month. I wanted this contract anyway so worth the punt for losing £4 per month anyway. I'll let you know how i get on. Still unsure on multiples per household tho. Because you could surely make quite a large profit!? Anyways, yes I'm feeling lucky!

    Always good to profit from these things. I make a lot from my cashback contracts but wouldn't shy away from a little extra! Good luck with it!

    Cashback tracked. It took TCB about 9 hours after a late night (early morning?) transaction.

    be VERY careful with this. i signed up for the deal, cashback tracked OK, but for some reason, they set me up on a 24 month contract. it was only when i went into my online account that i noticed this error. to be fair to them, they sorted it out very quickly, but i was still within the DSR period... if i'd left it any longer, who knows?

    don't forget the first month has £5 off too...

    are there any cashback deals that offer a profit these days? i had loads back in the day, but now they seem a bit thin on the ground. which retailer offers them (apart from this one!)?

    Quite a few. CPW deals aren't entirely free but others are. Whether you want to take to risk with smaller outfits or those who have a very bad reputation is another matter!

    I have done this and I got my £80 from topcashback which is now in my bank account and then I proceeded to cancel my tmobile sim. The first month was £5 so I spent £25 and and got paid £80 so a profit of £55.

    P.S I made an identical thread to this 3 months ago. I shall bump it up and you can have a look at it.

    could you point me in the direction of some free or profitable deals/retailers please? i need to start looking around for a new contract, and the way things are at the moment something free or better than free would be a massive bonus! i've been looking on and off for a while and haven't found any.

    feel free to pm me the details if you'd rather do that.

    CPW do almost free on a wide variety. Buymobilephones do some starting from totally free, as do Affordable Mobiles. I know of one on a Phones4u company which I would have grabbed weeks ago but their cashback t&c are obscure at best and non-existent at worse (so I won't use them any more). It's not hard to find cashback deals, but profitable is not as good as it was. Usually the phones are VERY basic (so worth less to sell) or else "refurbished" and/or with less cashback.
