Hi,

My experience with e2save cashback has been fantastic (well,im waiting for my last cashback installment) Always so far recieved my cheque within 2 weeks of them recieving my claim.

I had a 12 month contract with 02, through the link and had no problem getting my cash back.
Remembering to send back my statements was the biggest thing.
But I would definately go back to them.

Please remember that for cashback deals to work a percentage of its customers need to fail to claim for the company to make a profit. Therefore, overall, cashback deals are not good because some people will fail to make a succesful claim and pay over the odds.

I'm on my fourth cashback deal.

Hi I am looking at getting a new mobile contract - currently on pay as you go.

The best deals seem to be the cashback ones - where you have to send the bills back - are these really all they are cracked up to be - do you actually get your money back??

I have seen a few threads complaining about a few companies with regards to cashback - the company with the deal I like is buymobilephones.net -has anybody had any dealings with this company and if so did you get your cashback?

can anybody recommend a company that is proven when it comes to cashback?

Any advice appreciated, thanks.

I have been with Coolnewmobile for a year and they are a pain. Of the five cash back installments I am due they have only paid three so far, and only that after a barrage of e-mails chasing them. They have not yet paid my claim for January, and the March one is now due. I am not renewing the contract, it's too much trouble...which is what they bank on.
