Like a lot of people on here I am confused by schedule of bills and the complete lack of common sense displayed by these so called companies. Anyway will my cashback be voided if I send in my first bill in to early, or will they just say to early ?

    Depends on the terms of the company, who is the dealer?

    They require the specific bills to be sent in, i.e. ur 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th, so you can't really send in your 6th bill early, as when you receive it you need to send it in.
  • Most companies won't know the number of the bill because the billing cycles can vary depending on the phone company and the date of connection.

    The simple method is to look at your first bill for the date of connection, i.e. 3rd January.
    If you are supposed to send in the 6th bill then you want to send in the bill that contains the line rental period of the 3rd July (i.e. 6 months after connection). This may be the bill 29th June - 28th July.

    I have always used this method and always been safe :beer:

    i bought my phone on 24th nov and first bill at start of dec covered nov and december, does this mean i have to send in my 5th bill, if they ask for ur 6th one?
  • I would just send in the bill that covers the line rental period of the 24th May.
    Also, I would wait until around that date before sending in the bill, therefore showing you have been connected for 6 months :beer:
