    All seems to depend if you count the connection date and the bill date - I asked excel to add 120 days to 23rd Feb and it comes up with 23rd June but I can also see Reestit's logic - if only it were easy to get a sensible response from PhoneBoxDirect customer services :-(
    I think....

    They take 2 to 3 months to pay each cheque back assumming u have followed their t&c to the letter and not 28 days as they like to state and this is normally after chasing them frequently, sometimes you wonder if they will pay up. Hope it helps.


    I am on my second contract with PBD, my hubby is on his first and so is my sister in law and can say that so far I havent had any problems. Like Rajastyle I can confirm that they are slow in sending out the cheques, but do always answer emails when you chase up your cashback. It is a matter of waiting but the cashback cheque does come, eventually.

    With reference to calculating when to send the bills, when I took out my original contract, PBD had a little work sheet that you could print off from their website, they dont have it now as I suppose they hope you will get it wrong as do many cashback companies. I will try to copy it and post it here later if it helps anyone.
