Have I got this right?

Hello,

If I top-up £10 PAYG with Tesco, they add another £20 - so £30 in total.
I then go to Getpoundsback, and get £18 (min) refunded.

So, for a £10 outlay I get £18 back.

TGTBT?

Thanks.

    Why nobody is bothered to read the T&C? It's not even the small print.

    Thanks.

    I thought the same as you & tried it out a couple of days ago. It seems to be that if you top up with £10, you effectively get £10 credit plus £20 free credit.
    You can cash out the £10 but not the £20.
    So you can get just over £6 back, & your £4 buys you £20 credit to spend on phone calls, web & text
