confused by cashback

If anyone who knows about this has a moment I'd appreciate some help.
I am with 3 at the moment but I don't mind if I change my number. I want to spend a max of £20 a month and I need over 500mins, 300 texts and internet.
3 can offer me an upgrade that covers all that with a HTC Wildfire.

However, looking at this - http://www.buymobilephones.net/mobile-phones/HTC/HTC-Wildfire-Red-Refurbished/85,71304 I could get cashback. There are similar deals for non refurbished phones too.

So, the question is, is there a snag with the cashback? I googled redemption and know to avoid that but this site says it is automatic.

If it is a good deal should I just stop my current contract with 3 then take out another with them so I get the cashback? Or is it to be avoided?

    You can stop your contract without penalties only after the minimum term of the contract.

    Hi, you will have no problems with auto cashback, with buymobilephones.net it is paid after 90 days with mobiles.co.uk and E2Save it is paid usually within 28 days, also remember to check quidco and topcashback so you also get cashback from them as well. On one recent contract with E2Save I got £320 within 23 days and a further £50 from quidco !
