As of last night it says 30-45 days on Tesco website, but says 15-45 days in Samsung Ts&Cs

Because for Tesco it has to be over 28 days for their change of mind policy. Stops you taking it back unless its broken so you don't make money on it. Hope that make sense.

I think the cheapest way of doing it is to buy instore at Currys:

£299 for tablet + £12.99 for a case = £311.99
Less £67.16 with price match = £244.83
Less £80 cashback = £164.83 in total with case.

I think it works out better like this than online because you can only reserve the case for instore collection. The tablet itself is £269 online so the price match is less. You then pay for the tablet instore so don't benefit from the cashback.

I got the 7 inch 8GB tablet from Currys earlier. This is £199 instore.

I got them to price match Carphone Warehouse at £148 +10% = £143.

I then bought a case at £9.99 so £153 total.

Currys/Samsung will then give me £50 cashback, so will pay £103 for this tablet, near enough half of Currys instore price.

BUT - You do not have to buy a case that fits the tablet your buy (I think the cheapest case in the offer is a simple soft neoprene one at £7.99) so I got a Kindle Touch case which I will stick on ebay, so as long as I make more than £3 for it, then I will only pay £100 for the tablet.

For a 7 inch you get £30 cashback not £50.
Galaxy Tab 2 7" - £30/€30 cashback PLUS a free 8GB Micro SD card

If I purchased 2 tablets in a single online order, wouldn't they give me £50 cashback apiece?:think:
I've heard nightmare stories about this third party run Samsung cashback process:eek:

You are both right and wrong.

Samsung give you £30 cashback, BUT if you buy a tablet AND a Case from Currys/PCworld they have there own cashback scheme which is for another £20, So £50 total.

That is why buying a cheap case for just £10, gives me an extra £10 off the tablet cost.

I have just reserved the 10.1 from Argos. Worked out better for me as I have a gift voucher and will then get the £10 voucher too. When I looked there the other day they were more expensive than Tesco but they have since reduced their prices to match. So the 7" is £149 and the 10.1 is £238.

I'm thinking of getting 10 as well, do Currys pay the whole cashback to you or do you have to claim £50 back from Sammy and the difference from Currys please?
