    Gam3r - CPW emailed me to say "It doesn't matter that the 12th bill is on the new tariff, you can still send it in".

    Thanks for the heads up, the only problem is that i am with onestopphoneshop, i wonder if it is the same?

    No, as stated before, they have 2 options that they offer to customers.

    I recently upgraded my phone with CPW and I have to send my bills in months 4,8 and 12.

    Others have have opted automatic cashback where you don't need to send any bills - you get the cash automatically in your bank account.

    Personally, I went for the sending bills option simply because if I had gone with the automatic cashback option, I was offered only £250 cashback and if I chose sending bills option, I get £300.

    Obviously, for £50 extra most people would automatically go for the latter. :)


    Weird, i was never offered the option of the auto-cashback...should i call CPW and see if they can do that for me(will they or is it too late...?).

    You can ask them. Have you already taken out the contract? If so, they probably won't. If not, then I should think they can.

    Either way, best to call them up and check.

    Got a call just then from CPW offered me £10 per month 500mins off peak and 100 texts (£120 cash back).

    Told the guy I may be getting a work phone to push for a better deal the guy said I can cancel then and hung up!

    Its a good deal but I think you could push them further for 400 Xnet mins with £200-£250 cashback but it depends on their sales, profits etc. Deals change each day.

  • My contract is coming to an end (O2 Leisure Time Plus - 12 months free line rental claimed by 4 x cheques back)

    I have been offered a Nokia 5300

    200 Xnet minutes and 100 texts
    £25 per month for 18 months and £240 cashback
    Hopeless by name, hopeless by nature.

    I have just accepted a SE K800i on exactly the same tarrif as that. I only wangled £200 cashback out of them but opted for the £150 automatic instead.
    Hark at you going all strict :D
