    I've just spent 10 minutes on the cpw site; it mentions this card, but with no explanation of what it is!

    I think a comment like that should at least be followed up with an explanation.

    In this case, it is that the offer is only available instore.

    How come? I've just added it to my basket online... I'm talking about SIMpleworld £15.32, 1 month
    and not the one that the op mentioned.
    Goal: Win a car (or cash to buy one :))! -- Haha goal from when I was a student. Never actually won this but got a good job instead.

    What I achieved:
    Car paid in full straightaway.
    Two properties fully paid. Wohhoooo!

    I don't know why you got the response you did but yes in essence you are correct.

    Things to take into account would be Carphone warehouse bill upfront and for more than the one month. I was warned I could end up paying £2 the first month. So you would have to then get your money back - which should be ok just timing and Topcashback is not guarenteed but I've never had a problem with them :j

    Could you explain what you bought in order to receive the Tastecard, as the sign in carphone Warehouse says the card is only offered with phones above £44.99 or contract phones?

    Depends on how the person you deal with defines the T&C. Some are defining it as you get it on a phone or CONTRACT (not contract handset). A £1 rolling monthly contract is still a contract. These cards were being given away for free a few months ago. IMHO they aint worth it.

    would there be a credit check for the £1 deal?

    Yes, I had to wait over 30mins in the shop for the very slow CPW communications system to check my credit...in the end I gave up and went home...it cleared eventually just need to go back and collect the sim now.
