O2 home broadband cashback

avgjoe

Hi,

Currently simplifydigital are offering an exclusive 50 quid cashback on the 3/6 month free deal with O2 broadband, slated to end 31st July. It is also mentioned in the weekly Martin email.

Now, I looked on topcashback and they offer over 100 quid cashback for me to take out a O2 broadband contract.

So I was just wondering if the topcashback one does not apply to the 3/6 month free options or if that's just been missed out because it has been like that since forever on topcashback?

Thanks

If you sign up to anything via Topcashback or Quidco you still get any special offers that go with it. My first year on O2 cost £18 in total. O2 are trying to build market share (or maybe rebuild it after changing their T&C and losing a lot of heavy downloaders).

I had another thought about it.
Simplifydigital also claims that you can get the 6 month free offer, but the Topcashback one only sends you to O2's website where you can get the 3 month free which asks you to call O2 if you want the 6 month offer, therefore not getting cashback.

But I guess 3 months broadband still cost less than 50 quid so it would make sense to go with topcashback right?

That was my thinking if you are an O2 customer.

If you get 3 months free then 12-3 = 9months to pay * £12.50 = £112.50
TCB of £101 on all rounder Cost for year 112.50-101 = £11.50 or under £1/month!

Via simplydigital 6months free so 6*£12.5=£75 minus £50 cashback = £25/ for year. That's twice the price doing it the other way:shocked:

What's the catch??
